Based solely on playing in that game. I decided not to cover to many years since the format of this game hasn't been very consistent over the past decade, and not too recent so guys had more time to develop. I'll just do 2010-2014 and if I say on the bubble, it's only because there's a season or two you could argue for a bench spot for that guy.


2010: 7/19 All-Stars (Gasol, Lopez, Rose, Westbrook repeat) w/ Danilo Gallinari, Eric Gordon on the fringe
2011: 8/19 All-Stars (Curry/Harden repeat) w/ Eric Bledsoe, Wes Matthews, Ibaka on fringe)
2012: 8/21 All-Stars (Cousins/Griffin repeat) w/ Rubio? on fringe
2013: 9/21 All-Stars (Kyrie/Kemba/Kawhi repeat) w/ Rubio? on fringe
2014: 6/18 All-Stars (AD, Lillard, Beal, Drummond repeat) w/ Steven Adams on fringe


I'm not really sure why I included Rubio other than he's got one other worldly skill; other guys that are Pretty Good but I didn't mention were Tyreke, Greg Monroe, Derrick Favors, Tim Hardaway Jr., Harrison Barnes, Chandler Parsons, MKG, Tristan, Faried, Markieff and Taj Gibson and maybe one or two other guys, but a lot of the guys that play in this game also burnt out pretty quickly or had really up-and-down careers.


More than anything I found it interesting how consistent that game's rosters tend to shake out between guys that take the leap, guys that settle into roles, guys that have sever highs and lows and guys we completely forgot about as soon as their new car smell wore off.
