Preface

For many players who play in the NBA, they will not be able to win hardcore honors such as MVP, DPOY, and All-Star in their lifetime, after all, only a few people can get involved every year, so it is relatively simple to be selected for the All-Star team. In fact, it is true that almost every year the NBA All-Star team will have new stars selected, even the great Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and others, all of whom have become superstars step by step from the All-Star. However, there are also some players who have only been All-Star once and have not been selected again, and what we are going to talk about today is the 2004 Los Angeles All-Star, this year 24 All-Star players, as many as 6 were selected for the only time, let's take a look at who these players are and whether they deserve the honor of All-Star.

The most watery All-Star? As many as six players have only been selected once, with four in the East, and Kenyon Martin is the most regrettable

Ron Artest

Season stats: 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.1 steals

The first was Artest, who was playing for the Pacers at the time, when Artai was only 24 years old, but he had become the second leader in the team other than O'Neal Jr., especially on the defensive end, and he also successfully won the DPOY that year. And he was able to be selected as an All-Star that year, in addition to the Pacers' excellent record, his personal performance was also good, averaging 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game, which was already a first-line small forward in that era. And if it weren't for the later Auburn Hills brawl, which made him infamous and met with the disgust of the league and the media, in terms of Artay's ability at the time, he would have had a chance to be selected as an All-Star again, after all, his statistics rose to 24.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.7 steals the following year, and since then, whether it is in the Kings, Rockets and Lakers, he has had a good performance, and his unstable personality still buried his brighter career.

The most watery All-Star? As many as six players have only been selected once, with four in the East, and Kenyon Martin is the most regrettable

Michael Reid

Stats for the season: 21.7 points, 5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1 steal

Although he has been retired for many years, many Chinese fans still remember Reid, when Yi Jianlian entered the NBA, he was the boss of the Bucks team where the UAE was located. Reed's career is still very inspiring, he entered the NBA as a second-round pick, but with his outstanding shooting, he squeezed out the then Bucks boss Ray Allen and became the new core of the team. In the 03-04 season, he was also selected as an All-Star, and also served as the executor of the final attack of the Eastern All-Star, and in the following seasons, Reed's performance was also good, with 26.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists at his peak, and he also won the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics with the Dream Eight team in 2008. However, Reed's career was also selected as an All-Star this time, which is a pity for him compared to others. Reed's failure to be selected as an All-Star was actually related to his injury, and the Bucks' poor record at the time, coupled with his style of play, was too practical, and lacked some eye-catching highlights. If it were placed in this small-ball era, Reed would have been able to be selected as an All-Star many times, but unfortunately he was not born in this era.

Jamal Magloyle

Season stats: 13.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1.2 blocks

Among the Eastern All-Stars that year, there was a relatively unfamiliar name, that is, Magloyer, who played for the Hornets at the time, you must know that the Hornets' record that season was only 41-41, and his statistics were not very outstanding in the NBA at that time, at best, he was a top blue-collar contribution, and what is even more puzzling is that in addition to Magloyle, Byron Davis of the Hornets was also selected, which is enough to show how average the strength of the East at that time was.

What's even more interesting is that at that All-Star Game, Magloyle scored 19 points and 8 rebounds, according to the rules at the time, if the Eastern All-Star won the game, I am afraid that Magloyer would become the most ordinary All-Star Game MVP in NBA history. Combined with the contribution of only 7.2 points and 6.5 rebounds per game in Magloyle's career, it can only be said that the Eastern Conference pattern at that time created his All-Star dream.

Kenyon Martin

Stats for the season: 16.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks

Compared with Magloyer, the Nets power forward Martin who was selected with him at that time still has more reasons to be selected, as the top pick in the 2000 draft, Martin's physical fitness is extremely strong, especially the empty catch and dunk that he and Jason Kidd often staged in the game, which satisfied the appetite of most fans and can be called a visual feast. And Martin has entered the Finals twice with the team in the past two seasons, even against the interior of Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan, he can put up a good performance, plus his comprehensive statistics of 16.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks that year, he is fully worthy of an All-Star.

However, Martin chose to leave New Jersey at the end of that season, which was also a turning point in his career, and later he suffered frequent major injuries, and his dominant physical fitness no longer existed, and he could only be reduced to ordinary blue-collar workers. If he continues to stay with the Nets, with the weak roster in the East at the time, he has every chance to make a few more All-Stars.

Andrei Kirilenko

Season stats: 16.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.8 blocks

There are also players in the West who have only been selected as All-Stars this time, Kirilenko is one of them, in fact, Kirilenko's career is also a pity, although he was only in the third year that year, but he can already hand over 16.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.8 blocks of perfect data, especially on the defensive end, he is simply a nightmare for all opponents, he can go from the No. 1 position to the No. 2 position, and the off-ball air cut on the offensive end is the top existence.

However, the Jazz later got Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer respectively, and picked up the pick-and-roll system again, which is that Kirilenko is more functional in the game, and the statistics are naturally not so impressive. Like Reed, if Kirilenko can be in this era, he is definitely the most popular player, but unfortunately there is no if, and the Russian later suffered from injuries and chose to leave the NBA at the age of 33.

Sam Cassel

Season stats: 19.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.3 steals

Cassel completely suffered from his appearance, because his appearance is really weird, looking at the entire history of the NBA, maybe there are only a few people who will be uglier than him, and fans also jokingly call him an "alien". However, unlike his ugly appearance, Cassel's ability is still very good, whether it is scoring on his own or combing the team's offensive rhythm, he can perfectly execute the tactics according to the coach's requirements, and the defensive end is also not stretched.

And that season, he averaged 19.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.3 steals per game, and the Timberwolves have always led the West, so the 34-year-old Kassel finally got a hard-won opportunity. Of course, God is also fair, although Cassel has not been popular for a long time because of his appearance, but he has followed the Rockets and Celtics to win the cup, with 3 championship trophies, and he has contributed a lot in it, which can be said to be a success.
