In honor of the NBA All-Star Game, we looked back at some of the worst All-Stars to play in the game during the 2000’s

Because it’s NBA All-Star weekend and we love looking back at the history of the event whenever we get the chance to, we decided to reminisce the 2000’s.

From LeBron James to Kevin Durant to Stephen Curry, the NBA is always a joy to watch on All-Star weekend. Even for some that don’t “deserve” to be in the game but are voted in by the fans, it’s still a joy to see them amongst their peers.

And the admission of Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade, who may or may not deserve to be starters in the game, got us thinking and started this madness.

Last week, we looked at the worst NBA players to ever suit up for the NBA All-Star game, particularly in the 1990’s? Today, we look back at the 2000’s.

This list is composed of guys who had careers as role players, and had a breakout season. Although I’m comparing them to superstars like Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon; these guys were still good players that had long careers, but just weren’t on par with their fellow All-Stars.
