Which NBA players did not make it to the All-Stars in the season but were selected into the Best Team? One person or even a team

4:03am, 15 August 2025Basketball

For some fans, NBA players can only be considered real stars if they have entered the All-Star lineup. However, the NBA All-Star lineup is a requirement for fans to vote. Gorgeous play is far more important than strength. Even if there are coaches and media who can choose substitutes, there are still many remains. Therefore, compared to the more subjective All-Stars, the best team selected at the end of each season is the real gathering place for stars. In NBA history, there have been ten cases in which players have not been selected in the season but have been selected into the NBA's best team at the end of the season. Who are these players and whether their existence proves the above point of view, I will take you to take a look today.

1. Kevin Johnson (1992)

The first time in NBA history was that a player was not selected for the NBA All-Star lineup in the season, but was selected for the NBA All-Star lineup at the end of the season in 1992, which was done by Suns' legend Kevin Johnson. The reason for this situation was that "Magician" Elvin Johnson suddenly announced his retirement due to confirmed infection, but because of the league's publicity, he returned for the first time, so he was selected by fans to be the starting lineup of the Western Conference and serve as point guard. In the substitute point guard, Tim Hardaway, who has a more gorgeous style of play, is deeply loved by fans and audiences, so Kevin Johnson can only lose the election. But by the end of the season, Magic Johnson did not really play the game, and the selection was excluded. Kevin Johnson was also successfully selected into the third team of the All-Road Team due to his double-double average of 19.7 points and 10.7 assists per game and the Suns' second-place record in the Western Conference.

2.Cameron Anthony (2009)

The second time in NBA history, a player was not selected as the NBA All-Star in the season, but was eventually selected as the NBA All-Star team in 2009, with a very large span, achieved by Cameron Anthony. The reason why "Gua Ge" was not selected for the NBA All-Star lineup was not as complicated as Kevin Johnson. It was purely because of the merger of All-Star players at that time. Power forwards and small forwards were collectively called forwards, while the competition for forward positions in the West was too fierce. For example, Tim Duncan of the Spurs, Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks, Paul Gasol of the Lakers, etc., are all popular and powerful. At the same time, the Suns are also the host, with Amare Stoudemire as a striker, so Cameron Anthony can only regret losing. However, after the season, the Nuggets' record was indeed good, second in the Western Conference, and with Cameron Anthony's average of 22.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, he was selected into the NBA All-Squad third team.

3. Andrew Bogut (2010)

The third time in NBA history did a player who was not selected as the NBA All-Star in the season but was eventually selected as the NBA All-Series in 2010, next to Cameron Anthony. As for who this player is, he is called Andrew Bogote due to his character. The reason why this player achieved this situation was not because the author deliberately slandered it, it was purely because there were no good centers in the league at that time. When the time came to the end of the season, he could only barely choose a player from the team that made the playoffs.

4. Lamarcus Aldridge (2011)

The fourth time in NBA history, a player who was not selected as the NBA All-Star in the season, but was eventually selected as the NBA All-Series team in 2011, was done by Lamarcus Aldridge. As mentioned above, due to the All-Star voting restructuring and the merger of the two forward positions, many players in this position suffered. Lamarcus Aldridge is one of them. Due to his simple and unpretentious playing style, he could only regret to be rejected. But at the end of the season, he successfully helped the Trail Blazers to enter the playoffs with averaging 21.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, and there is no doubt about being selected.

5. Zach Randolph (2011)

The fifth time in NBA history is that a player was not selected as the NBA All-Star in the season, but was eventually selected as the NBA All-Series. It was also in 2011, which was done by Zach Randolph. Zach Randolph's situation is the same as Lamarcus Aldridge, and his style of playing is not very gorgeous. The NBA All-Star voting is weak, but the players themselves are not strong. They can average 20.1 points and 12.2 points per game, helping the team to enter the playoffs. Moreover, Zach Randolph helped the team to achieve Black Eight this year, and he deservedly selected for the third team.

In fact, since the NBA All-Star lineup voting has been reorganized, players who were not selected for the NBA All-Star lineup in the season but were selected for the NBA All-Star lineup at the end of the season. Naturally, the reasons are all the same. The author will just repeat it and list the names of these players: the 6th player who happened this is Tyson Chandler, who happened this occurs in 2012; the 7th player who happened this is Marc Gasol, who happened this occurs in 2013; the 8th player who happened this is Golan Dragic, who happened this occurs in 2014; the 9th player who happened this is Damien Lillard, who happened this occurs in 2016; the 10th and last player who happened this is DeAndre Jordan, who happened this occurs in 2016. At the same time, DeAndre Jordan is also the only player in NBA history who was not selected as an NBA All-Star in that season but was eventually selected as an NBA All-Series team. However, it was precisely because of this situation that NBA officials realized that their restructuring was not reasonable, and once again optimized and blurred the voting situation.
