December 14, 2006 - NBA G League (G League) News Release


LAS VEGAS, Dec. 14, 2006 - Balloting for the NBA Development League All-Star Game is underway at D-LEAGUE.com. The ballot gives fans the opportunity to vote for their favorite players as starters for the inaugural D-League All-Star Game, which will be played on February 17, 2007 on Center Court at NBA All-Star Jam Session at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Tip off is scheduled for 2 p.m. PT.

The 2007 D-League All-Star Game will air live on NBA TV. During the 2006-07 D-League season, the network will air 60 regular season games as well as playoff games. NBA TV is available to 72 million U.S. households through several of the nation's top cable and satellite companies, including Comcast; Time Warner; Cox; Cablevision; Bright House; DIRECTV; and DISH Network. NBA TV can be seen in 65 other countries, including France, Russia, Spain, Israel, the Philippines and Uruguay, as well as in Hong Kong and throughout the Middle East. The D-League All-Star Game is part of NBA All-Star 2007, a week-long celebration that enables fans to experience the thrill of the world's greatest athletes playing the game they love and features a full slate of community-enhancing activities and fan festivals such as Jam Session, the World's largest interactive basketball theme park.

On-line voting continues through January 21, 2007. Rosters will be selected by a combination of fan voting and voting of D-League coaches. Coaches from the teams with the best records in each division following games of February 3, 2007 will serve as head coaches for the two All-Star Teams.

A total of 122 players are currently on the ballot -- including players on assignment from NBA teams - 62 each from the Eastern Division and 60 from the Western Division. Voters select two guards, two forwards and one center from each division. Since D-League rosters are often fluid, fans may also cast a write-in vote with a pull down menu located at the bottom of the ballot.

The NBA Development League includes the Albuquerque Thunderbirds (N.M.), Anaheim Arsenal (Calif.), Arkansas RimRockers (Little Rock), Austin Toros (Texas), Bakersfield Jam (Calif.), Colorado 14ers (Broomfield), Dakota Wizards (Bismarck, N.D.), Fort Worth Flyers (Texas), Idaho Stampede (Boise), Los Angeles D-Fenders (Calif.), Sioux Falls Skyforce (S.D.) and Tulsa 66ers (Okla.).

Designed to help grow the sport of basketball both domestically and internationally, the D-League also offers fun, family entertainment at affordable prices. For additional information on the NBA Development League, visit D-LEAGUE.com.
