NBA All Stars by Win Shares

Given the fact that everyone has their own opinions about this year's NBA all stars, I thought I might as well weigh in myself. I decided to take a more objective approach to the teams, so I used basketball-reference.com's win shares to create the rosters. The results are below the fold.
