THE National Basketball Association (NBA) tipped off 2013 NBA All-Star Balloting today during a special event in Houston, the host city of NBA All-Star 2013.
The balloting allows fans around the world to vote every day for their favorite players as starters for the NBA All-Star Game in Houston. For the first time, fans can vote via social media networks, including Facebook, Twitter, and China's Sina Weibo and Tencent QQ.
Twitter voting will allow fans to tweet a vote for one player each day throughout the All-Star balloting period. The tweet must include a player's first and last name, along with hash tag #NBABALLOT.
Facebook voting will allow fans to fill out one full ballot (three frontcourt and two guards from each conference) per day, through a custom application on Facebook.
Fans can also access the ballot and vote through applications available on Android and iOS.
There are other ways fans can cast their votes as part of this season's all-digital program in 11 languages on NBA.com/ASB or by visiting NBA.com/ASB on any wireless device. Fans can vote for 10 different players per day. Message and data rates may apply.
Balloting will conclude on January 14, and starters will be announced on January 17.
The NBA All-Star ballot lists 120 players -- 60 each from the Eastern and Western conferences -- with 36 frontcourts and 24 guards from each conference. Voters can select three frontcourts and two guards from each conference. Previously, the ballot featured three positions with fans picking two guards, two forwards and a center.
