Latest All-Star Balloting Results: Dwight Still Riding High

Dwight Howard is still sitting atop the Eastern Conference in voting after the third returns of 2011 NBA All-Star Balloting were announced today. Howard ranks second overall in voting for the entire NBA behind only Kobe Bryant.  Hard to put much stock in Dwight’s lead, especially when you see Yao Ming leading the West despite playing in 5 total games so far this year.  Not a lot of big prominent big men in the league anymore…

The 2011 NBA All-Star Game will be played at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 20, 2011.

Paper balloting will continue through Jan. 17, while wireless balloting and voting on NBA.com will conclude Jan. 23.

Current voting as of January 6th, 2011:
