BEIJING, Dec.
15 -- Yao Ming paces the Western Conference and LaBron James leads the Eastern
Conference in voting for the 2007 NBA All-Star game.
Yao, the Houston Rockets center, has been named on
836,392 ballots to lead all vote getters, some 116,000 ahead of Los Angeles
Lakers' Kobe Bryant. Yao's teammate Tracy McGrady is second behind Bryant among
Western Conference guards with 668,130 votes.
The race for votes among conference forwards finds
Minnesota's Kevin Garnett (453,536) leading with San Antonio's Tim Duncan next

James, a forward for Cleveland, has amassed 808,570
votes and has more than 500,000 more votes than second-place Chris Bosh, from
Toronto.
Players out of the lineup lead at Eastern Conference
guard and center.
Philadelphia's Allen Iverson, who has been inactive
for several games, is first among the guards with 595,200 votes, some 9,000
ahead of Miami's Dwayne Wade. Miami's Shaquille O'Neal, sidelined with a knee
injury, paces the centers with 522,815 votes.
Voting continues through Jan. 21. The NBA All-Star
game is set for Feb. 18 in Las Vegas.
