5 Times NBA Players should NOT have been an All-STAR

With the NBA Team on TNT announcing the All-Star

star

ters for the upcoming All-Star Game last Thursday, I wanted to go back in time and take a look at some of the worst All-Star selections in NBA history that I've ever seen. compiled. a list of five former All-Stars who I think

should

not

have

been

All-Stars that season. This is by no means a list of the definitive five worst

players

to ever make an All-Star team, as some of these

players

have

. in the past and deservedly so, these are just five players that I personally wanted to mention and talk about how they are all doing.

My name is Gray Hoops and I hope you enjoy this video. In 2004, the Eastern Conference All-Stars were just announced. Vince Carter Tracy McGrady Allen Iverson Jermaine O'Neal and Ben Wallace with All-Star several future members of the Hall of Fame the reserves would be Paul Pierce Baron Davis Jason Kidd and of course the first All-Star Jamal mcgloor what Jamal mcgloor is currently In his fourth season playing for the New Orleans Hornets he had a career year averaging 13 points and 10 rebounds per game with a very inefficient 47 from the floor as a center. Now you may be wondering if these really All-Star numbers are off at all.

He was eighth in the league and rebounding, the Hornets were actually a better rebounding and defensive team with him off the court and his inefficient 13.6 points per game was only good enough to rank 58th in the league in points per game; However, in 2004 the Eastern Conference was incredibly weak. at the center position with the only two Elite centers being All-Star

ters Ben Wallace and Jermaine O'Neal with the coaches getting the final pick, the Hornets 26 and 19 were an easy pick for Jamal McGloor to come off the bench for them , which is exactly how Jamal, a player with career averages of seven points and just six rebounds, was able to sneak into the All-Star Game just once in his career.

McGlory is considered the model of an undeserving post-2000 All-Star Game and is Every conversation mentions the worst stars, so of course I had to mention it, but for the next four players I want to consider other players who They haven't

been

mentioned much. Warrior legend Andre Iguodala four time champion one time all earth defensive savior one in Golden State open shot the fate of the Universe on the line or the Martians have the death ray pointed at Earth you better hit it I want you Iguodala iguodala have ice wood and a former All-Star now Andre had some fantastic years where he

should

have been considered for the All-Star Game and oh wait he averaged 20 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists.

The following year he averaged 19 fives and fives, even the following years he averaged 17 sixes. and six, but none Iggy would make the All-Star team in 2012, posting averages of 12 points, six rebounds and five assists on a terrible 43 shots at the time of the All-Star break and 61 from the free throw line (61 during this time). The Philadelphia 76ers were the third seed in the East and the NBA in terms of voters felt that the 76ers needed representation in the All-Star Game and who better than Iggy, one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA and a player who deserved the recognition of the All-Star Game. in the past, I now completely understand the reasoning, as he deserved one in the past and wanted representation for his team, which was currently 18-8 during the lockout season, however, I don't agree with that, since that 12 points per game is 43.

Shooting an abysmal 60 from the line is not an All-Star caliber season and in my opinion one of the worst All-Star campaigns of the 2010s, Iggy absolutely deserved one or two All-Star Games in his career and I'm very glad he was able to add that to his resume in 2012, even though it came a few years late. I can't say the same about this next player who should have never touched an All-Star team in his pre-All career. -Star break The 2014-2015 Atlanta Hawks were 33-8 and exceeding expectations and, as a result, ended up with a staggering four All-Stars.

Yes, you heard right, four All-Stars, Al Horford, Paul Millsap and Kyle. Korver, who replaced Dwyane Wade due to injury, made the team, but he's not who I want to talk about. Jeff Teague, a 26-year-old starting point guard for the Atlanta Hawks, would also be part of the reserve team, averaging 15.9 points and seven assists. I say Jeff Teague was an All-Star, now some people might say Korver was a worse pick but I don't think so as Korver was having the best shooting season in NBA history up to that point and he was shooting over 52 percent from three of six attempts per game Jeff Teague, who was having a season statistically similar to that of Kimball Walker, Eric Bledsoe, Tariq Evans and Michael Carter Williams, made the All-Star team.

However, he is similar to Jamal Mcgloor, as the East was incredibly weak this year. In addition to DeMar DeRozan being injured before the All-Star break, Jeff Teague was able to sneak in because of this and the Hawks were 33-8 at the time of the All-Star break. Jeff was having similar statistical seasons to the others. players, but the 33-8 record, in addition to not losing a single game for a month before the break, was able to enter as a reserve and it is not surprising that Teague could not enter another All-Star. game in the future as he just wasn't really an All-Star caliber player, now this next player I completely understand why he was an All-Star this season, however Kobe Bryant was playing absolutely horrible basketball his senior year in 2015-2016.

Kobe Bryant definitely deserved to play in the All-Star Game in his farewell season, however he did not deserve to take a full spot after this season, the NBA would implement Legacy spots so players like Kobe Dwyane Wade and Dirk could not take a full spot on the roster to make the All-Star team, as in 2016 Kobe Bryant would be named an All-Star starter with an average of 17.6 points and a disgusting 35 percent from the field. 35 field goal percentage from the field. Damien Lillard for example, averaged 25 points and seven assists and was left off the All-Star team this season.

Now I really think Kobe deserved this spot, however, I was upset that a player like Damian Lillard was left out but the NBA noticed right away and they fixed it right away with the Legacy ads so I don't want to dwell too much on this pick. , since it's really not that important given the situation in the 2017-2018 season, Miami Heat point guard Goran. Dragic would make his first and only All-Star appearance heading into the All-Star break the Miami Heat were currently the fourth seed an All-Star point guard Goran Dragic averaged 17.3 points and 4.8 assists per game Goran the All-Star point guard Dragic was 37th in scoring, 31st in assists and made the All-Star Game over players like Kimball Walker, who averaged 22.1 points and 5.6 assists, but was on a worse Charlotte Hornets team, Chris Middleton , who averages 20 points, five rebounds and four assists.

In addition to rookie Ben Simmons, who had a solid 16 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, as well as almost two steals per game, many people are now speculating that Goron's case is similar to Iggy's, as he made the third team of the NBA. 2013, but was never introduced to the All-Star Game and since the Bucks and Hornets were worse teams than the Heat this year and Ben Simmons was still technically considered a rookie, they considered giving the nod to Dragic instead of more deserving candidates In my opinion, Goron has always been a solid point guard in the league and was deservedly on the All-NBA Third Team in 2013, which is more impressive than an All-Star selection in my opinion, but he didn't deserve his spot at all. good in 2018 and I should have taken Kimba Walker if I was in charge, he is definitely not the worst player to ever be an All-Star, but in my opinion he is one of the worst picks of the last few seasons.
