WHAT HAPPENED To The Most RANDOM NBA All-Stars Ever?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2024
- The NBA all-star game is meant to be a showcase for the BEST players in the world - LeBron, Giannis, Jokic… the true superstars of the NBA… but sometimes, it doesn’t quite work out that way. Because of weird quirks in the voting system, injuries, or just simply bad decisions… sometimes the most RANDOM players can end up with an all-star selection on their resumes… and it CERTAINLY stands out when you look at the history of the league.

“He unfortunately ended up a clipper”
Back then being a Clipper was a career dumpster fire.
@@speachless88 I’m a new nba fan (started watching in bubble) so a lot of the old references go over my head tbh.
@@iPokemonAi The previous long-standing clippers owner would put out the worst possible product under the salary cap because they were in LA they would fill all the seats automatically because people would show up just because they're in Los Angeles but the team was always absolutely terrible and he would just pocket massive wads of cash and did not care about the product on the court
Then because the team was terrible they would get high draft picks which they would either squander with terrible choices or in some cases when they would get good players they would use them so poorly their career would fall apart or they would end up having to get rid of them. The league tried to get rid of the owner for many many years until finally he made some racist comments and they were able to force him out
@@iPokemonAi I believe the league had control and within just a few years they were able to make some pretty incredible deals including getting Chris Paul over there and they built a dynamic and fun to watch team and have pretty consistently been a contender ever since or at least in the conversation except 1-2 reloading years
You don't have to be a superstar to be an all-star. This is a list of solid to very good pros who earned their recognition.
I dunno about Brook Lopez being random, he's had quite a few years he could have made it and was arguably the best player on a few playoff teams the first 3 Brooklyn years. Heck even last year he kinda deserved to be in the conversation. Devin Harris was pretty random in retrospect but that's one of those cases where you gotta wonder what happened because he had moves that year.
Yeah, brook is also the nets all-time leading scorer so him having an all-star team seems fair
ALL TIME Nets leading scorer
Indeed he is the Nets all time leading scorer. Though in fairness there, the person who previously held that record was Buck Williams, who I'm not really old enough to remember but was only like a career 12.8 point a game scorer, so that might not be as big a deal as you might think lol. Still, in the early 10s he was in the convo for best Center in the game. I think Shaq ranked him 2nd to Andrew Bynum one year and that was when Bynum was basically done and nobody knew that yet lol
Same logic for Bynum. He used to be the top 3 center in the league.
@@YuShawStang Yeah kinda, that depends on what you mean by random, cuz he definitely would have been a perennial all star and the best center of the 10s if not for injury so in that respect an all star appearance isn't random, but the fact that it was a 1 off appearance and then his knees gave out makes it seem kinda random. Lopez was all star level several years before and several years after
Brook shouldn't be considered a random All-Star.
but he is. He's just a role player after his ASG stint.
@@s_ame1135he literally has the most point in an nba franchise all time
@s_ame1135 that's because he spent years on the weak nets and the NBA wasn't 3 point dependent back then
@@s_ame1135multiple 20 ppg years
@@sauce773so because of that we have to discredit his importance to the nets and the fact that he played in a different era?
ton in
This list is casual as hell 😂 Williams, Teague, and Harris we’re them those years.
2015 Jeff Teague was no joke, he was like DRose, strong physical guard but with a jumper. Its hard to see how good he is if you just look at his stats rather than his game
Funniest stories post NBA retirement. Check the podcast clips.
I was thinking the same thing as I watched. He was a PROBLEM for teams with that hawks squad
As a Hawks fan this is cap. D rose was a better rim finisher and mid range shooter Teague just had the 3 ball over him
Jeff Teague was like D Rose is such a crazy thing to say
You miss Josh Howard he is part of 2003 Draft with Lebron Wade and the rest of the crew he was an all-star in 2007 when the mavs had the best record in the league
No Josh Howard doesent deserve to be in this list. He is no random, he was Tyrese Haliburton before bro fell out because of that video
@@OwnedByUno Tyrese Halliburton huh? Tf you talking about kid
@@holdmyweight3597 You cant be calling me kid when you don't know who Josh Howard is.
@@OwnedByUno Josh Howard and Tyrese Haliburton ain't players you'll compare bro. Tf are you talking about? One is a wing player and the other one is a tall play maker.
@@OwnedByUno I would say more like a Khris Middleton type of player but true he shouldn't be a part of the list
korver also had the second most points in the allstar game on the winning team. underrated player who would’ve been used like a better JJ reddick if he was 5 years younger. before his time
Korver had the mobility of a 70 year old racing to be first in line for Luby's all you can eat cafe. How was he underrated? He didn't rebound, dribble, pass, or defend at a high level. He shot 3's
@@speachless88exactly just like JJ lol
@@TheTyronecusjj was on a different level than Korver
You guys never watched either of them play.
@@alexescutia4805 JJ didn't have anything beyond his jump shot at a high level, which is what I was saying.
He was just like Korver in that, they were either average or below average at everything but shooting.
Nah Teague was nice. Averaged 17 and 7 for a couple of years basically
Dude had some savage dunks on people esp at WF
Facts, had sneaky bounce@@Johnbones23
Yes but when someone asks you who the best PGs are ever, I doubt you would have Jeff Teague in your Top 10. I think that's the kind of video this supposed to be; those forgotten about great players
You forgot THE Brad Miller.
52
Probably because Brad Miller made multiple all-star teams lol
@@sterlingwilliams8645 Pacers AND Kings
@@sterlingwilliams8645 He did, didn’t he? I thought it was just with Indiana. Either way, still random. Dude only had two seasons where he average 15 points and only one season averaging a double-double.
Nah... Kaman's lone All Star was not Random... it was long overdue...
Craziest part about Magloire's All Star was he almost won the MVP... 😂
Tyson Chandler deserved that all star selection.
I disagree with Lopez being random, man is the all time leading scorer in Nets history
Whoa, facts I didn't know about til today!
Mehmet (Memo) Okur retired because he tore his Achilles Tendon in the first round of the playoffs against Denver in 2012. If he played in todays era, he’d probably be a 20-9 guy. He was also very clutch, in he got his nickname Money Memo.
He was always in my fantasy league because he was like a budget Dirk Nowitski. Would give you 15 pts, 8, rebounds, and 2 3pointers per game.
Yeah, Memo was great, hated to see him leave Detroit.
You forgot the year Zaza was voted in by his country
Never happened. He had a lot of votes one year after the first returns. But he was never actually selected.
@@josephcollins5632 um akshually 🤓
Mo Williams is a Bucks legends. Will never forget the Bogut-Redd-Williams Bucks (mainly because of an effective ad campaign).
Brook Lopez has that dawg in him
bj armstrong is more random than magloire
quite happy with this list actually. Most of them performed decent, not the typical all-star level stats, but still decent. And/or had very good team success.
Jameer Nelson was a solid player. If he could’ve stayed healthy he would’ve been so much better. Unfortunately he only had a few seasons where he played more than 70 games. Dude was almost always hurt.
Christian Laettner never became a star player in the NBA, but he did appear in the All-Star Game once.
Yeah I'm old and laettner was my favorite player on those school t wolves teams
He was in the 97 Allstar game...Chris Gatling and Tom Gugliotta were also in that All Star game lol
@@jasonic-ks2tmall they needed was a real center
Jamaal Magloire balled out in his Lone nba all star appearance tho ❤
Chandlers lobs are so nice and I remember watching Devin Harris when I was younger thought he had dirty handles
I mean the All Star game is just a fancy popularity contest, the fan vote also had a way bigger influence on the voting. If you think these players are random, you should see NFL Pro Bowlers. Some of those guys fell off after half a season
I went to Central Michigan at the same time as Kaman, and one of my friends used to mess with his Wikipedia page. He used to add entries about various sports figures (mostly Michigan/ Detroit area athletes) owning or wanting to start a chicken farm. Lots of sites and publications ran with that like it was a fact. Even Esquire asked him about it. I wonder if he knows that the chicken stuff was started by some random 6'5" British guy in one of his math classes at CMU.
Korver legit all star to me. In a sense, unstoppable
Bynum wasn't a random all star that year, he was the 2nd best center in the league next to Howard that time. He deserved it. It's just that after that year, was his downfall.
Being a slightly above average center in the East in the 2000s had to be a great time. Averaging 14 and 9 could get you a nice fat contract and probably even a few All-Star selections lol
brook lopez draining threes is something i did not expect to see in my lifetime
this is more like most random All-Stars since 2000s, not the "history of the league". If you were to go back a little further you'd have come across much more random selections such as Brad Miller, Zadrunas Ilguaskas, Jamal Magloire, B.J. Amstrong, Chris Gatling, Dale Davis, Kevin Duckworth and Dana Barros.
James Donaldson
Magloire is in the video!
Where's Pachulia?
I wouldnt consider Korver and Teague as random all stars as beneficiaries of Coach Bud's offense.
Mo Williams was a bucket. He had a 50 point game
Andrew Wiggins being named an all star starter felt random as hell to me.
Atl - They had an undefeated month during the voting window. Fully loved that team success was recognised.
I don’t think Tyson chandler was too random he was one of the better defenders and centers after 2011
Have you seen an All-Star game? They don't play defense.
@@johnanderson9765 that has nothing to do with what I’m talking about
The most random player to be named all-star should go to Chris Gatling
Should be called most random all stars from the 2000’s. Dana Barros and Chris Gatling could have easily made this list.
A note about how ridiculous the all star vote was, Zaza Pachulia was almost an all star starter because he was on the Curry-KD Warriors. This made the NBA change the voting system so that players who actually deserved to play. That's why there are not a lot of these random all star players in recent seasons.
If your a fan of the NBA no way will you see a player that your like who is that? Random all-star is dumb.
I remember thinking Magloire is a genetically enhanced clone of PJ Brown.

For a big guy Brook Lopez has always been known for being able to space the floor although in Brooklyn he was used as a back to the basket style center which is not really how he is used now in Milwaukee.
Well brook Lopez switched up his style towards the end of his nets career.
@@805fillmore Yeah he did… Which is reflected in his game now
I used to wreck with jamaal magloire in nba live 07
Bro been dropping bangers lately
Where is Dragic, I know he was like a 4th string injury reserve but at that time he was well past his prime and was nothing close to special on the heat, especially getting up in over that rookie Simmons season where he was torching the league
It’s crazy that Brook Lopez went from All star, to role player, to champion and runner up for DPOY
When I was a kid I was a hornets fan and Jamal maglorie was my favorite player Lmao 😂
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
You forgot one of the most recent random all stars: Andrew Wiggins
In an era of NBA basketball where stats are greatly inflated due to higher octane type of play, Wiggins made the allstar team despite only averaging 17ppg with nothing else (but bad percentages)
Calling a number 1 pick a random allstar
@@twondakinga number one pick who hasn’t done anything in this league. He was supposed to have had like 7 all stars by now
@@twondaking My comment 3 weeks ago making more sense now to you? lmao
Greatttt content💪🏿🔥
I was waiting to hear Anthony Mason mentioned. No bueno!
James Donaldson. Made the all-star team in 1987-1988, as a one time all star, averaging 7 and 9 that season.
big fan of Brook Lopez, dude is a great piece of the Bucks success in recent years.
Basically all of them in that era come down to 2 categories:
- centers who have one good season during an era with few very good centers
- ok-to-good players on good teams exceeding expectations in a very weak Eastern Conference
It’s criminal how Jamaal Magloire made an All-Star team, yet CJ McCollum never will😭
I forgot how much I didn’t like Tyson Chandler’s game. Dude was just a pair of arms. Lobs and blocks.
You should’ve added Deandre Jordan.
Theres no way Jamaal Magloire was worse than James Donaldson
Mehmet Okur was one of the first true stretch bigs
Bro tyrone hill is the most random all star ever.
Yeah I agree
The only reasons I know of Jamaal Magloire is because I'm Canadian and a Raptors fan, but man how bad does the talent pool have to be for him to make and All Star team.
Yea that’s a rough one
@@moresportinglogically4420 TYSON WAS ALLSTAR BUT HE COULD NOT GET MORE ON EAST BECAUSE OF BEN WALLACE AND DWIGHT ERA. EVEN SHAQ TOO WAS ON EAST. CHANDLER WAS STARTING USA GOLD CENTER DONT DISRESPECT TRUE ALLSTARS BETTER ASK WHY WALLY WORLD EVEN HAVE 1
Nah, Big Cat was puttin in work with my Hornets/Pelicans at the time.
@@17thNO AGREE SAME WITH TYSON. BUT WHOEVER LET WALLY IN ALLSTAR GAME MUST BE RIGGED
Toronto legend. Iykyk
Devin Harris was nice, but faded fast outta no where
I can't believe you called Kmart a bum suggesting he shouldn't have been on a team
People forget Tyson chandler was listed as a small forward his rookie year
Bynum thrived when there was no other true centers in the league. Dwight Howard was undisputedly the best. The worst era of centers. Thank God for Embiid, Jokic etc… saving the position
if Binum never got hurt and had the degenerative knee thing not happen.. he would have been a damn good center for a while.
No Williams was that guy that first year with the cavs.
Derrick Favors and Roy Hibbert next
Both were pretty good players for a number of years wouldn’t say random
Because back in the day all star selection was one or more players from each team
I tend to stay in videos like these way more when they are edited more like this with highlights/ imagery of whatever you are talking about in oposition to an webcan while you talk, just some feedback.
Kaman was a SOLID center... You didn't even need to expect him to have an allstar season, that was cool when he did, but he could have been a SOLID center on a championship team where he was like the 4th option offensively.
I went to Central Michigan at the same time as Kaman, and one of my friends used to mess with his Wikipedia page. He used to add entries about various sports figures (mostly Michigan/ Detroit area athletes) owning or wanting to start a chicken farm. Lots of sites and publications ran with that like it was a fact. Even Esquire asked him about it. I wonder if he knows that the chicken stuff was started by some random 6'5" British guy in one of his math classes at CMU.
Is Brad Miller a Random All Star?
Tyrone Hill and Theo Ratliff.
I did not know Kris Kaman was an all star till just now. Mind blown
1:50 look at lebron yelling at a point guard for not stopping a center, what a great team mate!
He has low BBIQ but everyone thinks the opposite
Jameer nelson was a bucket at St. joes and was a really good nba player
Tyson isn’t random he was always all star caliber since his New orleans days
Once saw bro at a party in Trinidad, he doing ok
i always had weird sympaty for unusuall players such as Caveman,i also thought he was German (he did play for thier national team)
Jamaal Magloire..........there's a name
Korver peed down his leg in the playoffs with the cavs
@7:23 ok ill give u the east front court wasn't the best but if u mention "Kenyon Martin" as if he was a bad player than my guy u tripping. K.Mart was a BEAST
this why i love 2K. i play OldSchool/Legends MyLeague then current roster lol literally can have every player ever 💯
I find you a bit harsh for some of them: Lopez was clearly deserving and had the reputation for being one of the best offensive bigs in the League (but lacked rebounding and defense), Kaman was kind of the same, and Bynum is more a "what if" than a "surprise all-star". They are not like Antonio and Dale Davis or Devin Harris or Jameer Nelson.
James Donaldson on 1988 western conference Allstars team
Bobcats should've done what Magic did in 2004 draft. They drafted Dwight & Jameer. Bobcats should've drafted/traded to get Okafor & Harris.
What about James Donaldson? 7 and 9
I personally think he is the crappiest player to ever be an all star. He got there because of must have two centers on each team for all star game
@@andychen4810 TYSON WAS ALLSTAR BUT HE COULD NOT GET MORE ON EAST BECAUSE OF BEN WALLACE AND DWIGHT ERA. EVEN SHAQ TOO WAS ON EAST. CHANDLER WAS STARTING USA GOLD CENTER DONT DISRESPECT TRUE ALLSTARS BETTER ASK WHY WALLY WORLD EVEN HAVE 1
David West is another player that comes to mind
Jamal MacLovin not even had a Wikipedia
Definitely should’ve added Danny Granger
Mo Williams dunked paul pierce that season 😅
Before any of those in the video were guys like Dale Davis, Antonio Davis, BJ Armstrong, Tyrone Hill. All 1 timers who benefitted being in an Eastern Conference at the right time when the best players at their positions were either all in the West and/or when the East was incredibly thin.
Ben Simmons has to be up there as a bad all star
It was cause of Maglore they got rid of the center selection and made it front court and backcourt
Devin Harris was a dawg
I wouldn't call Memo random. He was the most clutch player in a packed team back in the day alongside Kirilenko - Boozer - Deron Williams. No wonder why he didn't average 25 a game. With Dirk, they were the pioneers of big man that could shoot 3s. If he didn't have that injury against Denver he probably would have a few more highly productive years
I mean it's not like Larry Bird shot threes or anything. They weren't pioneers of shit.
What’s with all the hate for Magloire? He was a really good player, injuries messed him up but before then he was fun to watch.
"NBA Layup Line"
How did you forget clear-cut Roy low ass rpg Hibbert for a 7'2 man! Lol
Isn't Tyson Chandler also won DPOY and yet he was only in the All-Defense 2nd Team? 😂😂😂
