NBA All-Star Game: The Worst NBA All-Stars of the 2000’s
By Jason Veiga
Dale Davis, Indiana Pacers (1999-00)
A real hard-nosed Center in the NBA, Dale Davis never shied away from contact. He was a great fit for the Indiana Pacers for nine seasons, including the 1999-2000 season when he made the all-star team.
Averaging 10 points and 9.9 rebounds, he helped the Indiana Pacers reach the NBA Finals, in which they lost to the Lakers in six games. For his career, Dale averaged 8 points and 7.9 rebounds in 16 seasons.
Mehmet Okur, Utah Jazz (2006-07)
This second round pick out of Turkey turned out to be a better player than expected. In 22 minutes per game, he helped the Detroit Pistons win the 2004 championship. The following year he went to Utah, where he played well for six seasons.
The one-time all-star center in 2006-2007 was a deadly shooter, where he averaged 17.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. The Jazz went on to lose in the Western Conference Finals that year to the San Antonio Spurs in five games.
Okur averaged 13.5 points and seven rebounds per game for 10 seasons.
