Posted by Sabrina B. @gametimegirl @DjJuanyto @SoDrewski The league’s 60th All-Star Game will be played at Staples Center on Feb. 20, 2011. The ballot lists 120 players — 24 guards, 24 forwards and 12 centers from each conference. Voting will continue through January 23 with starting lineups for the Eastern and Western conferences selected by the ballots to be revealed on January 27 for the NBA All-Star Game on February 20 at Los Angeles.
Posted by Sabrina B. @gametimegirl LeBron James isn’t expecting to win a third Most Valuable Player Award this season and he’s not expecting to pass the honor to teammate Dwyane Wade, either. James, Wade and the Heat are thriving and both have been regulars in the top of the MVP voting for the last five years. James took the honor in 2009 and ’10. But James believes with their overall numbers down and the overall strength of the Heat that neither he nor Wade will win it this year.
