"The NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 26 in Orlando might as well be known as "Dwight Night."

As expected. Magic center Dwight Howard emerged Thursday as the leading vote-getter in the final returns for the game to be staged on his home court, the Amway Center.

The league announced that Howard led the league in number of ballots, garnering 1,600,390 million votes.

He set an All-Star Game record by earning 3,151,181 votes in 2008-09."
