However, everything cannot be generalized. Many times, even if a player is selected for the all-star team, it is easy to cause controversy. After all, all-stars have zones and clear location restrictions. On this premise, if no player in the same division performs better than himself, even if the player's performance is average, he can be selected for the all-star team. This article will count ten players who "don't deserve" all-stars.
The tenth Kyle? Koval
As the same draft player of James and James in 2003, Koval's career can be called a late bloomer. Although he never became the top star in the league, he still dominated the league with his excellent three-pointers.
Koval's three-pointers have a plug-and-play role in the team, whether from the debut of the Philadelphia 76 ers, or from the jazz and hawks later, with the growth of age, his popularity is getting more and more prosperous. In 20 15, Koval and three other teammates of the Hawks were selected as the Eastern All-Star substitutes. But frankly, his 12. 1 point 4. 1 rebound data did not support his all-star title. This selection is more due to the high-quality team of the Hawks.
Ninth place, mo williams.
Mo Williams, from humble origins, can be said to be one of the most inspirational stars in the league, from a basic salary player who plays for Bucks to a starter around James? Point guard, it only took him three short years.
However, Xiao Mo's deepest impression on China fans is that he played for the Bucks? When Yi Jianlian was a teammate, his nickname was "I don't want to pass the ball to Yi Jianlian", which largely explained his selfish playing style. Xiao Mo, who played for the Cavaliers in 2009, was selected for the Eastern All-Star Team. Although the data is acceptable, it is also because of the big tree James around. When there is no such strongman around, Mo Williams naturally reveals his true colors.
Eighth place? Jameer Nelson
Nelson's choice is similar to Xiao Mo's. He is also a point guard around a superstar. In 2009, they were all selected as all-stars of the season.
What is 2009? The Magic reached the insurmountable peak of this century, and Howard broke out in an all-round way, leading the Magic to the final finals. The value of Nelson, the chief point guard around Howard, is naturally rising, so that he knocked on the door of all-stars. It's just that Nelson's success in magic is more due to his good personal relationship with Howard. As for his true level, fans who watched the finals in those days will know fairly well.
Seventh place: roy hibbert.
When the Heat dominated the East in Zhanwei era, one team became their biggest rival in the East, that is? Paul george's Indiana Pacers.
What scared James most at that time was not the star George, but their height of 2. 18 meters? Center roy hibbert, with his strong body and solid defensive skills, made James suffer a lot. However, in 20 14, hibbert suffered an inexplicable decline after the All-Star Game. Although he was selected for the All-Star team last season, he averaged 10.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, which really can't afford the title of All-Star Center. At that time, his performance of repeatedly dropping zero on the five major data also made China fans call him "Gao Yuanyuan" and "50 center".
Sixth place bj? Armstrong
As a member of the first bull dynasty, Armstrong made great contributions at the critical moment of the 1993 finals. It is precisely because he intercepted Kevin Johnson's pass at a critical moment that he achieved the great cause of the Bulls' first three consecutive championships.
Perhaps Armstrong's sensory stimulation in the finals was so strong that Armstrong was called into the all-star team in the 1994 all-star game. However, his average of 14.8 points and 2. 1 rebounds was too mediocre, which also made his all-star title unworthy of the name.
Fifth place, al horford.
Like Armstrong, the selection of Horford 20 18 is also suspected of being a "strong team". In 20 18, under the leadership of talented coach Stevens, the Celtics made amazing achievements, reaching the Eastern Conference finals in the playoffs, only losing to the Cavaliers led by James.
However, the Celtics of that season did not have an absolute superstar to maintain the best performance in the team. On this premise, Horford, the most experienced veteran, became the representative of the Green Army in selecting all-stars. His average of 12+7 was really average.
Fourth place? Rashard Lewis
In 2009, in addition to Nelson, another assistant of Howard was selected for the All-Star Team, that is, the team's tall shooter Lachard? Lewis.
Although he has rich offensive means and accurate three-pointers, the most well-known news of Lewis's career is that he signed a contract with Magic in 2007, and Magic was laughed at by the outside world because of this contract. Frankly speaking, at the peak of Lewis, this contract was worth the money, but in that year, Magic Network Koglu was obviously more worthy of the all-star position than Lewis, and he was the real organizational brain of the team.
Third place, Kobe.
Kobe's selection was somewhat unexpected. After all, there is no doubt about his fame and strength throughout his career.
However, Kobe entered the league for the first time, and then the scenery was far away. At the beginning of his career, he can only be the draft pick of 13. Eddie jones's replacement, but at that time he was already loved by fans because of his outstanding potential and highly ornamental style. Kobe Bryant 1997 won the dunk contest and was selected to the All-Star Team the following year. It's just that Kobe didn't draw successfully, and his average 15+3 also made his all-star trip controversial.
Second place? Yao Ming
If China is the most successful NBA player, then Yao Ming is bound to do his part. During his NBA career of less than 10, he redefined the image of China players.
In 2003, Yao Ming was selected as a rookie in the All-Star Western Conference team, and he was selected as the starter, which caused a lot of criticism at that time. The voice of criticism is mainly related to the fans who voted for Yao Ming. As the country with the largest fan base, the role played by China fans is self-evident, which even made O 'Neill, the super center at that time, feel dissatisfied. The average of Yao Ming 13+8 was far-fetched.
The first Jamal? Magloire
When it comes to the word "unworthy of the name", perhaps no one has a better say than Magloire, and the All-Star itself exposed the problems in its voting rules because of his selection.
In 2004, center Magloire, who played for the Charlotte Hornets, became an all-star player in the Eastern Conference. Before that, few fans had heard of this man's name. But the reality at that time was that almost all the top insiders in the league gathered in the west, and no hero made Vertical Son famous. Magloire, who was not well-known before, also enjoyed the honor of all-star. What is even more surprising is that Magloire did not have stage fright after entering the All-Star Game, and actually scored 19+8. If the West didn't win the championship in the end, the All-Star MVP award of that year might even cost the player who averaged only 7 points per game in his career.
