Lowe’s NBA All-Stars: 24 players plus the biggest debates
A refresher: • I start from scratch and ignore the fan vote. It’s more fun to pick all 12 spots. • I follow the same rules as fans, media and players in selecting starters: two guards and three frontcourt players. (I have an official ballot for starters.)
