The NBA All-Star Allstars.

Glad Rondo got a mention though! Hopefully next year he can edge out CP3.

Perk got 4 votes it looks like, go Perk

I do kinda wonder how KG got on the 1st team after not playing for almost a quarter of the season, but whatever

Wow Perk and Rondo! I'm impressed and glad... I think they both deserve it. Perkins especially, seems like just yesterday he was the ice cold scared-looking kid at the end of the bench who had to shoot those free throws in the playoffs. Good for both of them.

KG, well we always knew that  ;)

Reputation. He is a good defensive player, when he actually focuses.

I'm wondering who the fool was that put Kidd on the First Team.

Looks like a popularity contest.

CP3 didn't deserve to be in the discussion.  Lots of steals and good defense aren't the same thing.  The same could be said about Wade, for that matter.

I didn't like KG on the team at first, but then I thought about it.  Look at the Celtics' defensive stats with him in the lineup, and then look at them with him out.  It's pretty obvious how good he is, and how much we miss him on defense.
