He’s the best two-guard in the game and one of the best players in the game. Although, he would eventually make the All-Star team due to being an injury replacement in 2020 and 2021. In the nine games after the Suns announced he would be out for at least four weeks on Dec. “I mean he’s had one of the best seasons of anybody in the league on both ends of the floor. In his 29 games this season, the guard was averaging 27.1 points on 47.7% shooting and 37% from three. “Because I think too many guys work their tails off to be All-Stars and when you limit the number, people are going to get snubbed but I don’t think that should hurt Devin.

Marcus Camby, 2007-08 · Damian Lillard: 2015-16 · Al Jefferson: 2013-14 · Josh Smith 2009-10 · John Stockton: 1987-88 · Carlos Boozer 2009-10 · Horace Grant: 1991-92 ...

During the 1987-88 season, he led the league in assists and averaged a double-double with 14.7 ppg and 13.8 assists per game. Even so, he should have earned another All-Star selection during the 2008-09 season. Back in the 1980s and 1990s averaging a double-double without being a team's primary scorer was difficult. Although the Utah Jazz finished in fifth place, Boozer didn't get the recognition he deserved with an All-Star selection. Despite that, he averaged 23.2 ppg and 9.9 rpg, some of his best numbers in recent years. Whether their reputation had anything to do with Al Jefferson being snubbed from the 2013-14 All-Star game despite 21.8 ppg and 10.8 rebounds per game, we'll never know. That season, the team finished seventh in the East, but it wasn't enough for Jefferson's play to be recognized. With that, let's take a look back at the top 10 snubs in All-Star history. Damian Lillard has been a six-time NBA All-Star during his 10 years with the Portland Trail Blazers. Despite the impressive ratio, Lillard should have one more All-Star selection to add to his resume. It's hard to comprehend how Marcus Camby didn't make the 2007-08 All-Star Game. With Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James voted captains, it will be interesting to see how things play out when the two men begin the schoolyard-style draft.
