The 25-26 season is about to begin. James is about to turn 41, Durant is 37, Curry is 37, and Harden is 36. The older generation of stars are still active in the league. Although LeBron has suffered sciatica, he will still be the league's top player as long as he recovers. So can these veterans still be selected for the All-Stars in the new season?

On the evening of October 11, American media Quincy Hoops predicted the selection of the Eastern and Western All-Stars in the 25-26 season, as well as the top players from the Eastern and Western Conferences who may not be selected.

Western All-Star starters: Luka Doncic (Lakers), Shai Alexander (Thunder), LeBron James (Lakers), Victor Vunbanyama (Spurs), Nikola Jokic (Nuggets);

Seven substitutes: Devin Booker, Anthony Edwards, Jaylen -Williams, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davidson, Stephen Curry, Shaiden Sharp;

Top players who were not drafted: Chet Holmgren, Zion Williams, Deni Avdija, James Harden, Alperon Senking, Ja Morant, Domantas Sabonis.

There is already a lot of controversy in the Western Conference. First of all, the Trail Blazers' Sharp was selected for the All-Stars, while the core players of the team such as Harden and Shen Jing were not selected. Is it difficult for the Trail Blazers' record in the new season to be compared with the Clippers and Rockets? It is normal for the 41-year-old LeBron to still be the All-Star starter, and it is also acceptable for the two superstars Durant and Curry to enter as substitutes.

Eastern All-Star starters: Brunson (Knicks), Mitchell (Cavaliers), Benqueiro (Magic), Giannis (Bucks), Mobley (Cavaliers);

Substitutes: Trae Young, Cunningham, Wagner Jr., Jaylen Brown, Towns, Maxi, LaMelo Ball;

The top players who were not selected: Embiid, Siakam, Garland, Barnes, Adebayor, Herro, Thomas;

The controversy in the East will definitely be greater. If Embiid can play healthy, he will definitely be Philadelphia's number one force. A healthy Embiid is several levels better than Maxey.

Brunson starts, CC comes on the bench? What if Cunningham's data completely overwhelmed Brunson? Brunson's Knicks rely too much on the starting five, and Cunningham is obviously a better leader.
