Willaims was never an All-Star level player imo

His combo of playing on a good team + having decent numbers + peak popularity came in his second year in Sacramento. No way he would get voted in because Kobe and Kidd were out west.

His early years in Memphis the teams were bad and his number not great. When Memphis got good his popularity had fallen, and his numbers were not great.

I just don't see a year he squeezes in

Cornbread Maxwell led the league in FG% twice, has the 3rd best career TS%, and has a FMVP but never made an all-star team.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Him & Bibby should’ve made it once. Wild how Van exel snuck one in...and eddy Jones around this time in the west.

They never had the numbers. Neither were ever going to make it honestly. Especially not Jason Williams.

Only a few players every year are "legit' all stars since the criteria changes based off feelings and narratives...So J Will absolutely coulda been in one year based off popularity and excitement alone, plus he played on good teams most of his career if team record wants to be in play

I followed those Grizzlies teams (Jerry West), and he was a fine starter. But that's about it.

Mike Bibby had a case for one or two years in Sacramento.

It

Also, who were the most random one time NBA Allstars?

The one player I can think of was Jamal Magloire. At first I was happy an underdog player made it, but the moment he was on the court, it was instant regret. Ain't no one wanted to see his postups. lol

HIM didn't know LeBron's spanish was this good

RIP Playoffs

JWill was definitely never an all-star caliber player. He was like the Kings fourth option. Would he have been fun to watch in the game? Absolutely.

Bibby was better too. Not all-star caliber either though.

The media is so dumb. Loud noises, must be NBA players destroying ****

There was construction or a clean up crew or something. You can hear it in the back during JB's postgame too.

shameful...but i just realized...was that even a media member who tweeted that?

I don't know but I've already heard it being talked about on the radio like there's smoke there.

They never had the numbers. Neither were ever going to make it honestly. Especially not Jason Williams.

03-06 Bibby had a real case. Around 19-21ppg a game and 6apg on good teams.

His 2nd year in ATL too 08-09 was another good year for Him. With the East being weak and all, he had a shot. But 15-6 ain’t getting you in as a guard, unless your team is on a 60 win pace like Jameer/Mo Williams and them. Hawks had like 48 wins that year, iirc.

Yes! Him too, I was glad that he was selected but every time he was on the floor, my only thought was that I literally wanted to see anyone else.

old heads....school me on prime Ron Harper?

kind of like Eagle Dollar
excellent defender
could score in many ways, pass, screen, cut, etc

 

[kingjay718]

Salute to David vanterpool just because.

 

[wavycrocket]

Brad Miller made 2 straight all star games. These cats were close to being as good as him.

 

[wavycrocket]

Honorable mention

Brad Miller made 2 straight all star games. These cats were close to being as good as him.

When Brad Miller got to Sacramento, he inherited Vlade's passing gene to go with his in and out game.

 

[amitt5504]

Josh Richardson still in the league?

 

[dman14]

there were a couple yrs where he Had it All. stats were very comparable to others that made it
unfortunately, team sucked and west was loaded with talent

 

[lawdog1]

old heads....school me on prime Ron Harper?

Before he blew out his ACL, he was the closest thing to an MJ ultra-lite there was at the time. About the same size, with athleticism and an ability to attack the basket. And when he first got to the Clippers, he started to develop more of an outside game. Could pencil him in for about 20, 5 and 4 every night. And as someone else mentioned, could defend too.

 

[HIM]

this is about the time the All star selection process was known to be a joke.

dude was averaging like 7 and 9 that season

 

[HIM]

Since AD’s injury (including the game in which he left early) LAL ranks

23rd in ORTG
17th in DRTG
22nd in Net RTG

Damn, it might actually be AD’s team

 

[SneakerProSr.]

He should have made it instead of Dirk in 2015.

Monta's Dallas run will always be appreciated.
