    Who do you think are the best players at each position that never made the all star game in the past decade?

    PG Kirk Hinrich
    SG Hedo Turkgolu
    SF Tayshaun Prince
    PF Anderson Varejao
    C Marcus Camby

    Turkgolu and Prince don't even have stats comparable to guys with top stats like Mobley, Maggette, Al Harrington, Stephen Jackson...would you take them over Prince or Turk? No.

    Look beyond the stats

    The PF position must be very thin over the past decade if sideshow made your list and Hedo plays the 3, no?

    He hasn't played for the majority of the decade, but Brooks should replace Kirk ;)

    Kevin Martin I think never made it to the All-Star Game.

    I think Landry can take on sideshow. Barbosa deserves a mention IMO... and did Bogut ever make the cut?

    I also think Hayes would make a great feel-good story if he ever made it for just once.

    Mike Bibby for sure, but Martin has been a very quiet player.

    Anderson Floppb**ch?

    GTFO.


    I read that list and almost cried.

    I like the topic though. Kevin Martin should get a nod eventually, as should Marcus Camby if he still continues to lead the league in rebounds.

    I'm glad to see Mobley's name mentioned, he's the first guy I thought of when your talking about last decade. Along with Mike Bibby, Stephen Jackson, Kevin Martin maybe Van Exel(he went in '98 but thats not this past decade and he could have gone '00,'01,'02).
    Jamison early on in the decade was playing great but every west team had an allstar forward then went east and started made two so he can't be included just looked over early on. How he still missed out in '01 is beyond me. Really most players that deserve to go get in at some point like Cassell and Redd who have both only went once. Redd had better years then when he went in '04, Lebron factor I guess. Cassell also had better years than the one he went to. Another good question thread would be who were the best players out of the all stars that made it just once or twice?
