Every year when the NBA All-Star rosters are announced, there are some players (and fans of those players) who believe they were snubbed.
For some players, they were snubbed their entire career.
Here’s a 13-man roster of the best players to never appear in an All-Star Game. For this roster, only players who debuted 1990 or later were eligible. If a player is still active, he must have played in the league at least 10 seasons to be considered.
Apologies to Eric Gordon, Damon Stoudamire, Jim Jackson, Larry Hughes, Toni Kukoc, Andrew Bogut, Tayshaun Prince, Stephen Jackson, and Ben Gordon as they were all under heavy consideration.
