Like so many other aspects of the 2011-12 NBA Season, the All-Star voting process will be compressed into a much shorter window. Voting began on January 4 and will conclude on the 31st. The All-Star Game will be played in Orlando on February 26th.
Eastern Conference All-Star Picks

Picking all-stars to represent the East is easy - assuming Dwight Howard stays put for the next month.
Western Conference All-Star Picks

Picking a backcourt for the West is trickier... Chris Paul is a gimme. But should Russell Westbrook get the other starting spot, or is Kobe Bryant still the man?

Vote Update: 1/12/12
Orlando's Dwight Howard has a commanding lead in the first tally of votes. Named on 754,737 ballots thus far, Howard leads all players, and has more than ten times as many as the second-place Eastern Conference center. The only real surprise? Ricky Rubio's strong showing. Though he has little chance of catching Kobe Bryant or Chris Paul and winning a spot in the Western Conference backcourt, Minnesota's rookie point guard is third overall among West guards, ahead of the likes of Steve Nash and Russell Westbrook.All-Star Weekend Info
