Here are the teams you'll be seeing.

Blue Team

White Team

Rajon Rondo

Derrick Rose

Russell Westbrook

Stephen Curry

Chauncey Billups

Eric Gordon

Rudy Gay

Danny Granger

O.J. Mayo

Kevin Durant

Jeff Green

Wait... no Theo Ratliff?! WTF, Jerry Colangelo? Where do you expect all these young bucks to get their manhood knowledge?

I'm guessing with about a minute left they'll totally stop playing defense.

US Team out in no time

With that team LA fans ought not to worry, the team will be eliminated early enough for him to get a good sumemr of rest.

It’s not a pathetic team since many other teams look poor, it is just a bad team.
