The Analysis
It was a close race to the finish, but the 2011 Ultimate NBA All Star Fantasy Draft Winner is… the Miami Heat!
The Miami Heat took home the top prize in a close draft that saw the Los Angeles Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers battle it out for second place.
The Heat’s draft strategy was simple: they went for the best players available, regardless of position. This paid off for them, as they were able to snag some of the best players in the NBA.
The Lakers, on the other hand, had a more focused approach. They went after players who fit their system and who they thought would be complementary to their existing stars.
The Cavaliers took a similar approach to the Lakers, but they also added some high-risk, high-reward players in an attempt to catch up to the other two teams.
In the end, it was the Heat’s all-around excellence that won out, and they are now the proud owners of the 2011 Ultimate NBA All Star Fantasy Draft Trophy!

The Pros
The Pros have won the 2011 Ultimate NBA All Star Fantasy Draft! Congratulations to them on their victory!
The Cons
-The first con is that the players might not be that good. You can get some Great players but you can also get some duds. It all depends on who is available and how your team’s GM values them.
– Secondly, the whole process is a bit of a Guessing Game You never really know how well a player will do in the All-Star game until they actually step on the court and play.
-Lastly, there is always the risk of injury. Even if a player is healthy when you draft them, they could get hurt during the All-Star Game and miss out on all the fun.
