Ok, so we all know who is going to start the All Star game, but a few of those choices ain't so great (Iverson). So who are your all stars? Be honest, so no we can't just say send the Celtics, and one other stipulation you must choose a PG and SG and a SF and PF, so no having two 2 guards and 2 small forwards. Also 2 players at every starting position, then two players at any position, basically make a real team. I don't subscribe to the recent notion that you have to be on a winning team to go to the game (If this was the case why have Lebron, Kobe, Vince Carter, Allen Iverson, etc. been going to the All star game when each one has been on a bad team at least once), but that's your call.

Here's mine:

Eastern Starters:
PG: Devin Harris
SG: Dwyane Wade
SF: Lebron James (that hurt to write that)
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Dwight Howard

Eastern Reserves:
PG: Derrick Rose
SG: Joe Johnson
SF: Paul Pierce
PF: Chris Bosh
C: Andrew Bogut (Ilgauskas and Perk wont play, east has very
  few centers)

SG: Ray Allen
SF: Danny Granger


Western Starters:
PG: Chris Paul
SG: Kobe Bryant
SF: Carmelo Anthony
PF: Tim Duncan
C: Al Jefferson

Western Reserves:
PG: Deron Williams
SG: Brandon Roy
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Dirk Nowitzki
C: Yao Ming

PF: Amare Stoudemire
PF: David West

Tough omissions: Tony Parker, Chauncey Billups, Shaq

Just a quick point.  With reserves I personally don't think we have to take from each position just so it's covered.  I'd rather pick more deserving players preferably from winning teams.  Maybe Rashard Lewis over Bogut for example

Bogut has been injured for the last month or so aswell, I doubt he'd play.

They're a wash. Parker is averaging more points and is on a better team (record wise), but Williams is averaging 4 more assists.

Why do people have Devin Harris starting?  Rondo is much better.  I'd also pick Jameer Nelson and Mo Williams over Harris.

Hedo Turkoglu has to make it as a reserve.  He's way more deserving than Derrick Rose.
