Nathan Knight (29, Sono) was selected as the All-Star Game MVP.
The KBL officially announced the winners in each institutional sector after the 2025-2026 LG Electronics professional basketball All-Star Game, held at Jamsil Indoor Stadium, concluded on the 18th. Nathan Knight, who led Team Brown to victory in the main game, earned the MVP honor with 74 of 83 votes.
At the center of the main game was undoubtedly Nathan Knight. From the start of the game, Knight raised the energy with dunks and racked up points in both fast breaks and half-court offenses. He did more than finish plays, carrying the ball himself after rebounds to help initiate offense. With inside dominance complemented by perimeter shooting, Team Cony's defense struggled to respond.
His presence was clear on defense as well. He protected the basket with blocks and rebounds, and whenever the game's tempo lagged, he raised it again with a dunk. The line of 47 points, 17 rebounds and 9 assists was overwhelming even considering the All-Star Game context. Knight satisfied both showmanship and performance and received overwhelming support in the MVP vote.
The best entertainer award went to Yang Jun-seok (LG). Yang scored 27 points in the main game, including nine 3-pointers, captivating fans with flashy play. The coach performance award went to coach Yoo Doo-hoon of Jung Kwan Jang.
In the Pocari Sweat 3-point shootout, Lee Sun Albano (DB) rose to the top, and the Sports Illustrated (SI) dunk contest was won by Jo Jun-hee (Samsung). The dunk contest performance award went to Kim Min-kyu (Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS)).
In the newly established J Park Island Resort 1v1 contest introduced at this All-Star Game, Eddie Danielle (SK) claimed the inaugural championship and made a name for himself.
The 2025-2026 professional basketball All-Star Game, with the main game, various events and awards all wrapped up, provided basketball fans with a day of celebration. <
