TPR scale: 180+ MVP, 140+ superstar, 110+ allstar, 85+ starter, 65+ bench

To obtain my top 50 I simply added a minutes bonus to TPR to obtain a score. I stuck with the standard 2 guards, 2 forwards, 1 center format for each all-star team except for the first team which has three guards and the tenth team with four guards.

Notable differences from the voters three team selections include Shaquille O'Neal and Carmelo Anthony far lower on my list. Shaq apparently is still held in high regard for past achievements and Carmelo continues to be a mythical figure having accomplished little in his career and only the third most valuable of the Nuggets.
Paul Pierce likewise was fourth on my list for Celtics.
