Oklahoma Senators Face Difficult Options On Disaster Relief
PHOTOS: Tornado Aftermath Leaves Trail Of Destruction
The NBA released its first set of All-Star balloting results today, filled with the usual complete non-surprises. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant lead at their positions. Dwight Howard is the overall vote leader, which has as much to do with the dearth of centers in the East -- Samuel Dalembert (!) is No. 2 in voting -- than Superman's extensive fan base.The scenario everyone feared, though, is looking possible. For the second forward slot in the East, Kevin Garnett leads New Jersey's Yi Jianlian by about 130,000 votes. It's a big enough margin for now, but the fact that Yi leads Chris Bosh (by 80,000) and Paul Pierce (by 200,000) has to be giving David Stern a stomachache. I mean, it's great that China has helped make basketball the most popular sport in the world. But Yi starting the All-Star Game over KG, Bosh or Pierce? That'd be a domestic disaster. And incredibly hilarious.
In other somewhat discouraging news, it appears Allen Iverson will be an Eastern starter once again. Chris Paul's lead over Tracy McGrady for second among Western guards is a tenuous 60,000-vote spread. Rafer Alston has ridden Yao's gravy train to almost as many votes as Brandon Roy, while deserving Yi-mate Devin Harris is behind ... Luke Ridnour. Man, All-Star voting is weird.
