January 31, the League announced the final All-Star voting list.
The Western starting lineup consisted of Kobe, McGrady, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and Yao Ming;
among them, Yao Ming was the "All-Star Ticket King" for this year's Denver All-Star Weekend, garnering a total of 2.43 million votes.
The Eastern starting lineup consisted of Su Wan, Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Grant Hill, and Shaquille O'Neal;
Su Wan received 2.13 million votes, ranking second in the Eastern Conference and fourth in the entire League.
LeBron's Team, despite their vigorous campaigning, still lost to Allen Iverson by 130,000 votes, finishing third among the Eastern guards and missing out on this year's Eastern starting lineup.
Seeing the final vote rankings, LeBron's Team really wanted to slap themselves:
If only they had switched to small forward sooner!
LeBron James ended up with 1.56 million votes, higher than forward Grant Hill's 1.42 million votes...
