Honorable Mention – Antonio Davis (2001)

It took a lot of breaks for Davis to be an All-Star. First, he was traded from a contender where he had a reserve role to an up-and-coming team where he got to start. Next, he was teammates with Vince Carter, who made everyone on the team better. Lastly, an unheard-of four All-Stars were replaced due to injury in 2001, with Davis being one of the replacements.

That season, he averaged 13.3 PPG and 10.9 PPG in the first half, but that clearly wasn’t good enough to be an All-Star at first. In fact, Davis received the fewest fan votes among every player who played in the All-Star game that year.
