The one error of fan voting this season was inarguably Yao Ming, but he has always been a special circumstances outlier. Considering Tim Duncan and Pau Gasol are classified as forwards and Yao's main competition are Andrew Bynum, Nene and Marc Gasol, I feel more outrage about his starts over Shaquille O'Neal six, seven or eight years ago.

But with the starters out of the way, the more intriguing part of the process begins and that is selecting the reserves.

If up to me, the below players would be added by the coaches to the team this year, with Pau Gasol passing go/collecting $200 to replace Yao in the starting lineup.

Western Conference

Kevin Love: I can't remember such a dominant player on such an unfortunate team, well, at least since Kevin Garnett.

Blake Griffin: He will have at least two dunks in the game that will stop time. He also has the pedigree of production to put up against any other big in the NBA.

Russell Westbrook: Back home, Westbrook will probably play off the ball as he did at UCLA due to the point guard glut.

Deron Williams: Consistently great and still underappreciated.

Manu Ginobili: If Carmelo ends up in the Eastern Conference, which looks completely inevitable, we're looking at a perilously thin crop of wings in the Western Conference. Taking Durant out of the equation, we are left with Kobe, Ginobili and whatever is left of Brandon Roy. Monta Ellis, Eric Gordon and Kevin Martin are all close, but not quite.

Dirk Nowitzki: A (relatively) easy pass to the game despite the time missed based on his outstanding production and legitimate MVP run during the first part of the season. He gets godfathered in over Duncan.

Steve Nash: Bad team, but great season and four point guards be damned since Westbrook and D-Will can guard anybody.

Eastern Conference

Chris Bosh: Let's just once and for all nickname Chris Bosh 'Middle Child', put him on the team and be done with it. He is easily one of the best 12 players in the EC based on talent and on 10-11 numbers. Just because he isn't a superduperstar on the floor, let's not punish him for his Dale Carnegie abilities off the floor.

Al Horford: The most consistent player on an inconsistent team that nobody can get excited about or trust to contend nationally.

Rajon Rondo: He has missed some time, but Rondo is already in the automatic ASG echelon. Particularly when the rest of the EC PG class is so far away from he and Rose still.

Paul Pierce: Scoring 20.0 per 36 minutes for the first time in the KG-era and posting an obscene true shooting percentage of .631. He gave us a glimpse of this late career efficiency surge last season and has obliterated in 10-11.

Kevin Garnett: Written off when he missed the 2009 Playoffs and thought to be on his last leg during the 2010 Finals, but his return to health has been remarkable. Not even close to a reputation pick.

Ray Allen: Always capable of the type of night he had in New Orleans back in 2008 when he scored 28 (5-for-9 from distance) and was robbed of the MVP by LeBron.

Raymond Felton: If we ever needed an argument against roster expansion, the Eastern Conference is providing it this year. The final slot on this team is a complete Wildcard and there are at least half a dozen candidates. Felton has potentially shot himself off this team over the past few weeks, but his overall play has been surprisingly outstanding.
