9. Theo Ratliff (2001)

Ratliff is another player who owes his All-Star selection to a teammate. In this case, he should thank Allen Iverson. It was the peak of Iverson’s first stint in Philly. The Sixers were the number one seed in the East, and eventually made it all the way to the NBA Finals where they lost to the Lakers.

During that special season, Ratliff made the East roster as a reserve. He was basically a glorified shot blocker who passed to Iverson on the offensive side of the ball. He was definitely a key player on his own team, but definitely not an All-Star.
