San Antonio power forward Tim Duncan

 Up until recently, San Antonio’s Tim Duncan was listed as a center on the NBA All-Star ballot, both on paper and online.  That is about to change, as the Associated Press reports that the league has shifted Duncan from center to forward on its ballot on Wednesday.  This should enhance his chances of starting yet another All-Star game, his 9th, if successful.

Although the paper ballots cannot be changed, Duncan, as of today, will be listed as a forward at the NBA’s Web site, www.nba.com.  All votes he has received or receives in the future will be credited toward him at the forward position.  The NBA All-Star game takes place on February 17 at New Orleans.
