NBE ASSOCIATION’S NBA ALL-STAR TEAMS

by DOUG FERGUSON

I always tell everyone my girlfriend is basketball. It is fitting henceforth that this year I get to express my love for my babe on Valentine’s Day when the best in the world are all in same place. The 2010 NBA All-Star Game is February 14 in La Casa de Jerry Jones and here is the NBE All-Star Teams selected by a special panel. All ties were broken by me since it is my big day with the old bird.

Please don’t mistake our list for that of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game as there is just one team with multiple representatives (Phoenix). That’s just the way it worked out though.
