That feeling of dejection among lesser-known ballers can only mean it's that time of year again: The 2012 NBA All-Star Game is upon us and like many years before, there were a few deserving dudes left out. But we're not here to give you just some lame list of guys that should've made it. We're here to shed light on some of the guys that do the dirty work too, cats that would make an All-Star team in a perfect world.

There's some snubs sprinkled in there like Josh Smith along with glue guys like that man/beast known as Chris Kaman. Plus, we couldn't have our All-Star roster without the most-talked about NBA player of the moment, Jeremy Lin a.k.a. Super Lintendo. So, as you get prepared for this weekend's upcoming festivities here are the Complex 2012 NBA All Stars. Hint: Kobe, LeBron, and Dwight did not make the cut but Tiago Splitter did!
