Maybe not All-stars selections this last season, but Duncan and Ginobili are all-star caliber players. Their selections or lack of can be attributed to the level of team basketball they were playing. Nobody on the Spurs were selfish enough to get outstanding numbers last season.
Lets say Ginobili was replaced by J.R. Smith and Duncan was replaced with Spencer Hawes... would they have went all the way? I would argue their chances would have been far lower... and Smith and Hawes are good players, just not all-star caliber.
