Heo Hoon (Busan KT) and Heo Woong (Wonju DB), sons of former national team coach Heo Jae of’Basketball President’, took the 1st and 2nd place in the professional basketball All-Star fan vote.
The Korea Basketball Federation (KBL) said, “Hoon Hoon won a total of 32,642 votes in the All-Star fan vote that was held for a total of 25 days from December 11 to the last four days of last year. Announced the day.
Last season’s regular league MVP, Heo Hoon, proved to be the most popular player, ranking first in the All-Star fan vote for two consecutive seasons.
Heo Hoon’s elder brother Heo Woong took second place. Heo Woong ranked 2nd overall after Heo Hoon with 31,421 votes. Heo Woong has been ranked No. 1 in the All-Star poll in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons.
Heo Hoon and Heo Woong are the sons of former director Heo Jae, so they attract attention. This is the first time that the brothers in the history of professional basketball have won first and second place in the All-Star vote.
The third place is Jeonju KCC Song Gyo-chang, who received 31,217 votes. Busan KT Yang Hong-seok (38,914 votes) and Changwon LG Kim Shi-rae (27,938 votes) followed.
In this all-star fan vote, four out of the top five (Hoon-Hoon-Kim Si-rae-Yang Hong-seok- Song Gyo-chang-Lee Jeong-hyun) last season’s All-Star fan vote again showed off their popularity.
In addition, Lee Dae-heon (Incheon Electronic Land), Park Jun-young (KT), Moon Sung-gon (Anyang KGC), Izea Hicks (Seoul Samsung), and Tyler Davis (KCC) were the first to be on the list of 24 All-Stars.
The 2020-2021 Hyundai Mobis Professional Basketball All-Star Game will not be held due to the government’s compliance with the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) prevention policy and the safety of fans and players.
Therefore, KBL uses KBL TV (Youtube, Instagram, Facebook) channel during the All-Star game break period (January 14 to January 18) to soothe fans’ regrets, where all-star players and fans directly communicate and participate. I plan to prepare a planning program. In addition, there will be an event where fans vote online to determine the winner of the video of’the best scenes of three-point shot and dunk shot this season’ recommended by each club.
The 24 all-star players will participate in the rest of the season by attaching a commemorative patch with the All-Star Games logo on their team uniforms after the break.
