Usually, being selected for the All-Star Team is a "watershed" between ordinary players and stars, if there is a blessing of All-Star status, then you can have a star status, but there are some people in the league who are capable, but due to various objective reasons, they have not been able to become a member of the All-Star in their careers, this article will take stock of the NBA League's ten strong but unsuccessful All-Star players.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > tenth place Monta Ellis</h1>
The number one star on the Golden State Warriors' "pre-Curry era" team has been their guard Monta Ellis for a long time, Ellis, although thin, but he is a fairly easy to use sharp knife player on the offensive end, in 2007 with the Warriors to complete the Black Eight Miracle at the same time Ellis also won the league's most improved player award, starting in 2009, he has been scoring more than 24 points for two consecutive seasons.
It's just that the brilliance of the basic data can hardly hide its hard injuries, Ellis's career long-range shooting rate is only more than 30%, which is more and more glaring after Curry entered the team, and Ellis's thin body is easy to make it the object of the opponent when defending, and in this factor, Ellis has always been unable to qualify as an All-Star.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > ninth place Jason Terry</h1>
Terry's highlights were the envy of countless players, and in the 2008-2009 season, he made him the league's best sixth man with an average of 19.6 points per game, and two years later, he scored 27 points on 11-of-16 shooting, completely burying the Heat while winning the first championship trophy in team history for the Mavericks.
It was such a player who never made it to the All-Star, and the 2006-2007 Mavericks had a 67-15 regular-season record of the league, but it was same team forward Josh Howard who followed Nowitzki to the All-Star team that year. Terry's positioning as a pure substitute scorer for a long time has somewhat reduced his evaluation among fans and coaches of various teams, and Terry himself can do nothing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > eighth place Jamal Crawford</h1>
Crawford has two great "feats", one is that he won the best sixth man award three times in his career, which only Lou Wei can match in the history of the NBA, and the other is that he has scored 50+ points in four different teams, which may not be unmatched for a long time to come.
Crawford has played more than 1,300 games in his career, but he has only played less than a third of them as a main player, although his ability to cut points is outstanding, but the positioning of the sixth person in the perennial has become a minus point for his all-star quota, and his good at fighting style is also a loss in efficiency, so it is inevitable that Crawford will become an All-Star.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > seventh place Mike Bibby</h1>
Bibby joined the Memphis Grizzlies as a top pick in the 1998 draft, which shows that the team's positioning for his future at that time was superstar level, and its steady style and big heart also attracted the then West End powerhouse team, so they did not hesitate to give up the style of the game Extremely gorgeous powder is the white chocolate Jason Williams, thus making Bibi the helms of the team under the Princeton system.
In 2002, although the Kings broke the West End Final, Bibby's performance was seen by everyone. However, Bibby was also unable to qualify as an All-Star in the Kings' most glorious years, mainly because of the star-studded Position at the Western Guard at that time, and while Webb and Peja occupied the All-Star quota on the team, Bibby was difficult to enter.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > sixth place Richard Jefferson</h1>
The Nets at the beginning of the century were also the teams that had reached the Finals, and in that team, in addition to Kidd and Ken Jan Martin, the young Jefferson took on the responsibility of the sharp knife, and in the 2003 Finals, Jefferson repeatedly broke in front of Duncan, which was the most high-profile newcomer dunk at the time.
Only after Martin's departure and the arrival of Vince Carter invisibly compressed Jefferson's performance space, after all, the two were too close to each other, and in the three-headed monster era, the Nets always had unlimited firing rights in Carter rather than Jefferson, and although Jefferson was promoted to the top scorer of the Nets in the 2007-2008 season, their record of losing Kidd in that year also slipped, and Jefferson also had no advantage in the All-Star vote.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > fifth place Jason Richardson</h1>
At the beginning of this century, due to the influence of Jordan, the league has a wave of front-wing swingers, and if a player has a height of about two meters and can fly a good buckle, he has a considerable probability of being popular, and Richardson is famous in this background.
After joining the Warriors in 2001, Richardson maintained a steady upward trajectory, and his scoring began to break the 20-point mark in the 2004-2005 season. It's just that Richardson is more of a general than a coach, and the team's record in his time has been difficult to improve, until Byron Davis joined the Warriors saw the playoffs dawn, and the lack of leadership temperament became a significant hard injury for him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > fourth place Stephen Jackson</h1>
Stephen Jackson is also an important participant in the Warriors' Black Eight Miracle, he gradually found his sky in the NBA league through his own efforts, in 2003 Jackson with the Spurs to get his only championship ring of his career, and after joining the Warriors, he also became the league's 20+ scorer for the first time.
Just the grumpy Jackson often makes people have a sense of "respect and distance", in the Auburn Hill Palace incident Jackson for teammate Arte to swing the old fist to the fans is still vivid, and in the team he also has a "previous crime" of discord with the coach, considering such factors, the All-Star is also difficult to throw an olive branch to Jackson.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > third place Rudy Guy</h1>
Guy has the size of the perfect small forward and is technically versatile, both in the basket and in mid-range shooting Gay has a standout performance, after Paul Gasol left the Grizzlies for Los Angeles, Guy was once seen as the team's best hope for revival.
Guy's weakness lies in his average efficiency, although he has excellent physique, but Guy is extremely fond of solving battles from medium and long range, and he himself does not have the top accuracy of the league's pure shooters, which makes it difficult for him to be at the forefront of advanced data, and under the general trend of the league's increasing focus on efficiency, Guy has always been rejected by the All-Star.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > second place Josh Smith</h1>
Josh Smith was a big hit on stage at the All-Star Dunk Contest, and in 2005 in Denver, he rose to the top with a spooky bounce and strong coordination over dunk masters such as JR Smith Jr. and Stoudemire Jr. Smith, who has both inside and outside the game, is also the inside gate that the Eagles rely on.
It's just that the young and famous Smith has a lot of deviations in his positioning after playing a famous hall, he is a top blocker himself, but he is always keen to be a "mid-shot beautiful boy", when the other party takes advantage of the momentum after hitting the iron again and again, his blocking ability has also lost its usefulness, which can be described as a short and short to avoid the long, after leaving the parent team Eagles, Smith has gradually become a marginal figure in the league, and the All-Star is even more difficult to reach.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > first place Intekoglu</h1>
In 2009, the Magic team reached the league finals again after a gap of 14 years, and although Howard was the first core of the Magic team that year, many commentators pointed out that their forward Turcoglu was actually no less important than the mighty Magic Beast.
In the Magic lineup at that time, whether it was Alstom or Nelson, they were not enough to sort out the team's attack in an orderly manner, at this time Tikogru stepped forward to become the most important organizer in the team, but because his role was difficult to visualize in the data, it was easy for Tecoglu to become a forgotten role when voting all-stars.
