But that’s part of what makes this season so fun. Even if All-Star Weekend isn’t your cup of tea -- even if you think the game itself is nothing more than a real-life NBA Jam -- the event itself gives us time to reflect on the season so far while taking stock of the current state of the league.

I would like to go a step further, and look at alternate All-Star teams based on something a little more than ratings. For example,

European All-Stars vs USA All-Stars
Over 30s All-Stars vs Under 30s All-Stars
Drafted All-Stars (best players still playing for team who drafted them) vs Traded/Free-agent All-Stars (best players playing for team different to the one who drafted them)
