The first returns on all-star balloting will be in Thursday and the race for the two starting forward positions could come down to Lebron James, Kevin Garnett...and Yi Jianlian. As the Boston Globe's Marc J. Spears reports, a heavy turnout in precincts from Beijing to Hong Kong could swing the vote towards Yi, who received 450,000 write-in votes from China last year. Yi's popularity could also help Devin Harris.
