1. James Donaldson (1988)

If you’re like most fans, you probably need a refresher on who James Donaldson even was. He was 7’2” and played center for the Dallas Mavericks when he made his All-Star team. Not once in his entire 13-year career did Donaldson even average 12 PPG. Also, it’s incredible that a man of that size could only muster an average of 10+ RPGs over the course of a season twice.

He wasn’t a particularly bad player, but he was nowhere near an All-Star-level talent. Somehow, the coaches picked him to represent the West when he only averaged 7.0 PPG and 9.3 RPG. Those aren’t All-Star numbers or even starter numbers. Those are backup numbers. Maybe the All-Star nod would make sense if he was a decorated old-timer like Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, or even Yao Ming, but that’s simply not the case here.
