Harden and Russ third team

I guess this is not really a player comparison question, but this seems like the right forum for this.

Harden and Westbrook are going to play in their third club together. I guess this is the first time for two former MVPs. But what about All Stars in general?

Took me quite some time and seemed impossible at first, but I think I found an answer!

Assuming the requirement is just that each player has to have had 1 all star season...Charles Oakley (1994 AS) and Mark Jackson (1989 AS) both played on the same team 3 separate times: the '89-'92 Knicks, the '01 Raptors, and the '04 Rockets! Incredibly close call since Oakley only played 7 games for the Rockets, but they did indeed play minutes in the same game at least once. Great question!

OK. Here's another example. Rondo and Cousins played together in Kings 16', Pelicans 18' and Clippers 21'
