Basketball Champions League Star Lineup Explained

See main article: Basketball Champions League Awards. The Basketball Champions League Star Lineup, or FIBA Champions League Star Lineup, is an annual award for the Basketball Champions League (BCL)'s top ten basketball players for each season. The Basketball Champions League is, along with the EuroCup, one of the two secondary level European-wide professional club basketball leagues in Europe. The award is given by FIBA. The award began in conjunction with the league's inaugural season, the 2016–17 Basketball Champions League.

Voting criteria

The Star Lineup is chosen by a vote of the fans online, a vote of media journalists and representatives, and a vote of all of the head coaches of all of the teams in each season of the league. The fans, the media, and the league's head coaches each get 1/3 of the vote distribution.
