Construct a starting lineup and a five-man bench that will play in the current NBA, with the following parameters:

- Each starter must have been named to exactly two all-star games during his career
- Each bench player must have been named to exactly one all-star game during his career
- No active players are permitted
- Assume each player's best/peak season

The best submission will win a cash prize of more than five American cents.

Five cents?

I could be a part owner of the Bengals with that kind of money.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NBA_All-Stars
This list helped me, its pretty easy, not sure it is accurate, but if it is, I will put up :

C : Bill Walton
PF : Rashard Levis
SF : Luol Deng
SG : Emanuel Ginobili
PG : Baron Davis

6 : Kyle Korver
7 : Andre Iguodala
8 : Andrei Kirilenko
9 : Nick Van Exel
10: Andrew Bynum

My team still has elite defenders, but can also shoot way better than ReggiesKnicks team I think. Baron Davis as offensive leader on ball, not the best option, but with such depth, easily a favorite to win NBA I imagine.

Okay, but after administrative fees, you actually owe me two cents; I'll accept it via CashApp.

I like your team, though.
