Former NBA player Richard Jefferson recently participated in online interaction to answer questions from netizens. Speaking about why he was never an All-Star at his peak, Jefferson said, "Let me tell you why I've never been an All-Star, except for the reason I wasn't really that good. I didn't make the All-Star because I played with two All-Stars most of the time. I played with Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, and Ken Young Martin. Regarding Vince, even in the years I've been playing with him, assuming there's a season where I've had better numbers than him, or a season with more impact, he'll still be picked by fans as an All-Star because he's one of the most popular players in NBA history.
"So, when coaches are selecting people, they look at them and say, 'They have Kidd selected, Carter is selected, and we're not going to give them a third All-Star unless their team is number one.'" So, I'm always the first to lose an All-Star, and they're basically never going to give us three All-Stars because I'm playing next to the other two All-Stars.
"So, am I outstanding? That's right, I averaged 20 points per game on a playoff team. That's a good performance. ”
