The 2011 NBA All-Star rosters are teeming with talent. Since 1951, basketball legends and fan favorites have showcased their talents during the annual conference showdown – from early pioneers like Jerry West, Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (who holds the record for most All-Star appearances) to eighties heroes Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Dominique Wilkins and Magic Johnson to TNT’s own Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, Steve Kerr and Chris Webber. I had the tremendous opportunity to coach some of these greats to victory back in 1988 when I was the head coach of the East.
If you could assemble the ultimate NBA All-Star team which players would you draft?
On All-Star Saturday Charles Barkley, Steve Kerr, Kevin McHale, Reggie Miller, Kenny Smith and Chris Webber will play the part of general manager to put together their ultimate All-Star teams. Each analyst will draft from a pool of former All-Stars to fill out their fantasy roster. Following the show, fans can log onto NBA.com and choose which analyst has the best team. The results of the fan vote will be revealed on Inside the NBA following the All-Star Game on Sunday.
Tune in to the first-ever NBA All-Star Fantasy Draft on All-Star Saturday, February 19 at 6:00 PM on TNT.

It makes little sense to say what your fantasy team would be, becasue you’re not drafting as they did. You don’t know what players would be available. I like Kerr’s team the best.
My draft board all time all star team:
1 Chamberlain
2 big O
3 Jabbar
4 Baylor
5 Jordan
6 Magic
7 Archibald
8 West
9 Bird
10 Russell
11 Barry
12 Pettit
13 Bryant
14 McAdoo
15 Bellamy
16 Isaiah Thomas
17 Havlicek
18 Barkley
19 D Robinson
20 James
Reggie’s team is definitely is the best putting a solid dynasty team, followed closely by Steve’s. Reggie got a bargain for MJ and got solid on all positions especially the point guard which is lacking in Steve’s team.
The worst team is definitely Chuck’s. They don’t have a legit point guard-passer (Williams is a scoring-point guard). Duncan is consistent but not explosive, Miller is the only bright spot there but no go-to-guy that can create offense for himself much like MJ (Durant, oh common, not yet). Kenny’s team is the 2nd worst solely because of lack of muscle. They have all the offensive firepower, the grace and the agility at all positions but no grits, no power, no dominance. They will be outmuscled and be put out of sync by Kevin’s and Cris’s teams.
You guys should provide a forum for the fans to choose their ultimate all-star team. Would be interesting to see the teams that the fans would come up with.
I agree. That is what I want to do. Put up my fantasy team. I will take 13 on my roster. I could win with this team.

I like Stever Kerr’s team and not because he used to be spur
