"SPURS IN BLACK" - The 2007 NBA All-Star Balloting Contest
SAN ANTONIO, December 4, 2006 - NBA All-Star Balloting officially began across the globe Monday, November 13. This year, the San Antonio Spurs have announced the "Spurs In Black" voting promotion where fans may vote to send the nominated Spurs players to Las Vegas, NV for the 56th Annual NBA All-Star Game at the Thomas & Mack Center on Sunday, February 18, 2007.
Beginning tonight through January 13, 2007, at select Spurs games, fans may participate in the "Spurs In Black" All-Star Balloting Contest. The contest is themed around a movie premiere, starring the Spurs All-Star nominees.
Each night the first 100 contestants will receive a Spurs "admission ticket", which is stamped after completing 20 ballots at each player's ballot center. The six available player balloting centers are Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen, Michael Finley and Francisco Elson. Once the contestants complete all 120 ballots, they will receive a "Spurs In Black" Spurs official all-star t-shirt. After the contestants receive the t-shirt, they will be qualified to win bigger Spurs prizes.
High school ROTC programs are also taking part in the festivities by forming "Ballot Squads." The top three squads that complete the most ballots will receive Spurs prizes.
Spurs fans that do not participate in the contests may still vote for their 2007 Spurs All-Star nominees by visiting www.spurs.com or www.nba.com. This year fans will have the opportunity to vote in more ways than ever as the balloting program for the 2007 NBA All-Star Game has expanded this season to include 19 languages. Fans must select one center, two guards, and two forwards from both the Eastern and Western Conferences for their vote to be valid. Voting for the 2007 NBA All-Star Game will last until January 21, 2007.
