Ben Wallace followed by Jason Kidd is the answer for the most recent back-to-backs to reach the Conf Finals without an All-Star teammate, I think, though both reached the Finals (and Wallace won one).

Just going back to Reggie's era, since that's what we're discussing, these players won the championship without another All-Star that season. 
[LIST]
[*]2016 Cleveland Cavaliers — Lebron James
[*]2014 San Antonio Spurs — Tony Parker
[*]2011 Dallas Mavericks — Dirk Nowitzki
[*]2004 Detroit Pistons — Ben Wallace
[*]2003 San Antonio Spurs — Tim Duncan
[*]1998 Chicago Bulls — Michael Jordan
[*]1994 and 1995 Houston Rockets — Hakeem Olajuwon
[/LIST]
Players who reached the Finals with no All-Star teammates and lost.
[LIST]
[*]2009 Orlando Magic - Dwight Howard
[*]2008 Los Angeles Lakers - Kobe Bryant
[*]2007 Cleveland Cavaliers - LeBron James
[*]2006 Dallas Mavericks - Dirk Nowitzki
[*]2005 Detroit Pistons - Ben Wallace
[*]2002 and 2003 New Jersey Nets - Jason Kidd
[*]There was no ASG in 1999 but it's safe to say no New York Knick would have made it, let alone multiple.
