Technically I created this thread before you:

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=100399

But I'll go ahead and delete because you are who you are almighty Kevin.

BTW, it doesn't work like a normal roster rotation. It's 3 frontcourt and 2 guards. But I'll just go with it.

[PeacemanNOT]

East
G: Kyle Lowry
- Great offensive leader, he is the best point guard in the Eastern Conference when Kyrie is injured.


G: Jimmy Butler
- He's posting Career Highs, double doubles and all kinds of numbers this season. Clear All Star starter.


F: LeBron James
- He's LeBron.... enough said.


F: Paul George
- After coming back from a near career ending injury, he's proven that he's still a superstar. Another clear All Star Starter.


C: Andre Drummond
- Brilliant Defensive player and rebounder and even though the majority of his points come from putbacks, 2nd chance points and dunks he is the most underrated offensive player in the league right now. An underdog for sure.



West:
G: Stephen Curry
- 50 FG, 40 3PT, 90 FT. 24-0, Enough said.


G: James Harden
- Even though his team has gotten off to a tough start he is still the best SG in the league.


F: Kevin Durant
- A player who is controversial as a starter, is still the biggest impact to his team. Without them they lose a lot more than win.


F: Blake Griffin
- For a player who's been on a team that can't find to get a rhythm going, he's been playing very well.


C: DeMarcus Cousins
- Boogies averaging a double double, can shoot from the perimeter and has controlled his emotions really well after being criticized greatly by NBA analysts. The #1 Center in the league.

If no injuries occur, this lineup is kinda locked in my opinion. That if, of course, fans don't start to vote Kobe Bryant in the starting lineup over either Harden or Durant

[formx]

I thought Corymach made this thread in 2012.

East

G: Kyle Lowry
- Like PeacemanNot said, he is a great leader. Due to the game being in Toronto, I can see Raptors fans stuffing the ballot to make sure Lowry makes it.

G: DeMar DeRozan
- Not as deserving of the starting spot compared to others, but hometown fans will vote him in for the same reason as Lowry

F: LeBron James
- LeBron is LeBron
F: Paul George
- PeacemanNot summed this up as well.

C: Andre Drummond
- Shoutout to Leftos

West:

G: Steph Curry
- MVP

G: Kobe Bryant
- I can see Kobe getting voted in due to sentimental reasons being that this is his last season and all. Even if he isn't voted in and is a reserve, I can see a starter give their starting spot to Kobe like Vince did with MG in 2003.

F: Kevin Durant
- He's KD. Guaranteed to be in unless he falls victim to the Based God curse again

F: Blake Griffin

C: DeAndre Jordan
-Lulz pick

[big-shot-ROB]

EAST

PG: Rondo (Seriously, static-wise, he deserves it)
SG: Paul George (This monstrous season after an injury? lol)
SF: Lebron (It's the king)
PF: P.Gasol (bc he's spanish and bc on top of that he is playing like a beast)
C: Drummond (No words, 18ppg and 17rpg)


WEST

PG: Curry (yeah, 50,40,90. 24-0, 33ppg)
SG: Bryant (Sorry Harden, u playing trash, 30% from 3? 5 to's? Westbrook just the same)
SF: Durant (50,40,90, 27ppg-8rpg-4apg)
PF: Davis (Better than Griffin in every stat minus ppg. Btw, Griffin is stupid and I hate him )
C: Cousins (A whole world ahead than Gasol, which is the second best C in the West, but is having a terrible season and still is the 2nd best).

[I Hate Mondays]

Rondo is on the West, buddy

[big-shot-ROB]

Rondo is on the West, buddy

lol, so true, I don't know why assumed Rondo was playing for the Kings of the East and Cousins for the Kings of the West haha

For those who need a link to the ballot: http://vote.nba.com/

And my picks...

East

G: Kyle Lowry (numbers are up from last year's All-Star season, has become one of the top point guards in the East)
G: Jimmy Butler (Bulls bias, and he's having another good year)
F: LeBron James (still LeBron, an automatic pick)
F: Paul George (quietly having a strong season, after last year's write-off)
C: Andre Drummond (his rebounds have come back to Earth a little, but still great numbers; I like being able to pick a centre with confidence again)

West:

G: Stephen Curry (because how could I not?)
G: Russell Westbrook (scoring is down a couple of points with Durant back in action, but numbers are up, he's playing well)
F: Kevin Durant (healthy, and playing really well; his shooting numbers and PER would look great, if Curry wasn't red hot this season)
F: Blake Griffin (another player off to a good start, but overshadowed by Curry's brilliance)
C: DeMarcus Cousins (another true centre pick; maturity and attitude is an issue, but he can play, putting up 25 and 10 right now)

[NovU]

EAST
Kyle Lowry
Dwyane Wade
Jimmy Butler
LeBron James
Andre Drummond

WEST
Stephen Curry
Russell Westbrook
Kevin Durant
Anthony Davis
Marc Gasol

LOL @ Hornets. They are second in the East and nobody likes their player as a starter.
