My 2011 NBA All-Star Selections

Standard
In a perfect world, everyone that is deserving of an All-Star selection would be honored with one.  Nothing is perfect and as much as we’d like it to be, it’s a lot more fun to have a debat about it.  Here are my All-Star selections for the 60th NBA All-Star game.

I will listen to those who disagree with these rosters.  Everyone of them I feel deserve to be honored as an All-Star.  You can say that I left some deserving players out.  I feel that this is as close as it should be for the 2011 All-Star teams.
