[Fire Colangelo]

Really liked Jason Richardson's game back then.

[Milbuck]

Giannis

[Smook A.]

GSW's Monta Ellis

[Eric Cartman]

Gerald Green.

[Fudge]

Brandon Jennings when he gets streaky and doesn't play dumb.

Rather obscure, but I found Walt "The Wizard" Williams' game very aesthetically pleasing. Dude was smooth as hell.

Kevin Duckworth.

I love watching Andre Miller post up

I like Marcus Thornton a lot too. He's fun to watch when he gets hot

Watching Boris Diaw in Phoenix was great too. He was just a true jack of all trades. Watching him be able bring the ball up and dish like a PG was great. I just love his passing.

He really is amazing

[fandarko]

Terry Porter is one of the best non-allstars ever, imo. Dude's handle and control over the 90's Blazer offense was just great. Smooth AF, too.

He was an all star in 1991 and 1993.

Yeah deleted my post. Ha

I would probably roll w/ Mahmoud Abdul Rauf.

Boogie, when his size is also taken into account.

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf aka Chris Jackson. Nifty little moves.

Tony Kukoc:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nIk9XiHrMI

In Europe his reputation was even higher. He had won everything prior to his NBA debut in 1994 and was one of the greatest European players ever. Was 3 time Euroleague Final Four MVP.
Somehow he has strugled at first in Chicago - receiving limited minutes and Pippen was jelous about Kukoc contract (Kukoc getting 4 millions, while Pippen only 2). That's why Pippen and Jordan played so hard in the first meeting between Dream team and Croatia in 1992 Olympics. I have read that after his rookie season he was even considering returning to Europe. Players and coach Jackson were all over him for his softness in defense and rebounding.

[KungFuJoe]

Was Lamar Odom ever an all star? Too lazy to look it up but I still think he had the best handles in history for a guy his size. Also when he drove left it was money. Posterized a few people in his day as well.

[SexSymbol]

Giannis Antetokoumpo.
I think a lot of his qualities are overrated, but dude has three things for sure - size, potential and watchability.

[AboutBuckets]

Korver, I recently watched the video of every 3 he made last year and ended up with a semi

[#number6ix#]

Rudy Gay

[julizaver]

In the same breath I mentioned Toni Kukoc I forgot to mention Arvydas Sabonis - his skills were awesome for a big man.
Both players were extremely talanted and never an all-star. Both my favourite players.

All-time? Will be a filthy long list.... but Toni "Euro-Magic" Kukoc for me would have to be at the top somewhere, he had amazing court vision/passing ability, could shoot/score, rebound, at 6'11" could handle the ball better than anybody his size probably... that guy was all skills... simply a super versatile big guy.... and its a homer pick considering he is from Croatia :P

but at the very very top with a MASSIVE gap.... Drazen Petrovic.... in his prime the guy was better than Reggie Miller or Ray Allen or Chris Mullin or Glen Rice, but at the age of 28 with his 1st season in the NBA as a starter thats what he was and could have still showed to be better if it wasnt for the car accident.... and had more aesthetically pleasing skills to display on the offense as he also was a very skilled & flashy passer/ballhandler (he was a SG/PG)... he was a 6'5" Larry Bird, but even better shooter, actually, GOAT shooter.... a Jerry West, with better shooting.... that was the prime (80s) Drazen Petrovic at least.... you better believe it... I am biased ofcourse here, but i truly believe he was that good, seen as much as humanly possible from him.... especially those back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back 60+ point games in Europe... he didnt chuck to get those points, he would hit like 10-20 3's and so on, from way back.... sometimes in a row... of the dribble with double-triple teams... NBA or not, you couldnt defend that shit.... he would simply hoist shots over you.... and it was going in.... nothing you can do....

[T_L_P]

Was gonna say Kirilenko but I'm pretty sure he was an All-Star in 04 or 05 (when he should have made about 5).

If not him then Michael Redd (though he probably made one too). :lol

[jayfan]

When they had it going... Rod Strickland, Nick Van Exel.

[AnaheimLakers24]

Lamar odom. Watching him go coast to coast was sweet

[OldSchoolBBall]

OP says "non all star" and then posts a clip of JWill in the ASG. Fail. :oldlol:

EDIT: Nick Van Exel is a good mention. Fun to watch.

speaking of fails, van exel was an all-star.. :oldlol:

anyway, bobby jackson is my choice. he used to murder the lakers back in the early 2000s. great player.

[SamuraiSWISH]

speaking of fails, van exel was an all-star..
You consider one time All Star to be actual perennial All Star caliber players? Hmm ...

[G0ATbe]

Jamal Crawford.

i consider van exel an all star - and he actually was at one point.

[Milbuck]

Jamal Crawford is such a good pick, totally forgot about him. First mix I saw of him I was high as ****, and the whole time I couldn't wrap my head around how he wasn't the GOAT.

[SamuraiSWISH]

i consider van exel an all star - and he actually was at one point.
Wasn't that the season where Shaq played with 3x other All Stars besides himself and still couldn't get to the Finals? Got swept ... AGAIN? E. Jones, Van Excel, and 6th man caliber All Star Kobe off the bench? Jesus. How do you fail with that much talent? It's like the 2011 Heat, and 2014 Heat. Playing with 2x other legit All Stars.

i get that oldschoolbball is your daddy, but was this post even necessary? van exel was an all star in 1998. did he play like one in the playoffs? absolutely not. more like a scrub.

not everything has to be black and white, bud.

No need for insults, doggie. Just because LeBron, like Shaq fails with all the tools to win doesn't mean you need to get mad at me personally.

FYI, He's actually my older brother.

Jamal Crawford just takes this thread easily IMO. I wish he was still a Bulls. One of the all-time sickly handles. Nice jumper. Just so smooth to watch. Instant offense.

none of this is relevant to the OP, unfortunately.

just tell your "brother" to brush up on his basketball history. :cheers:

[Milbuck]

Is he the one who made this?

[Pushxx]

In the last few years? Maybe Stephen Jackson, Al Jefferson, Jamal Crawford, Jason Richardson...maybe Ryan Anderson's silky jumper? I dunno.

I'm having trouble thinking of much off the top of my head. Good question.

might seem weird but i always enjoyed watching Anthony Mason handle the rock.

Donatas Motiejunas

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Southpaws in general typically have great looking games. Especially the form on their jumper. Not sure why, but it just does. Sam Perkins is one I don't see mentioned. There's a reason why "smooth" is in his nickname. Kenny Anderson is another.

Always thought OJ Mayo has a pleasing game in terms of the way he handles, shooting form, and how he moves on the court. Also Brandon Jennings.

And I ****ing love Diaw.

Rather obscure, but I found Walt "The Wizard" Williams' game very aesthetically pleasing. Dude was smooth as hell.

Great shout out! I thought Walt was gonna be an All Star coming out of Maryland. And he put up 17 PPG his rookie year. But I think injuries took a toll on him, even though he was still very effective. In regards to the topic, I would throw in Brent Barry, Rod Strickland (can't believe he never made an All Star Team), Sabonis, Brandon Jennings, Jamal Crawford, JR Rider, and Sarunas.

[SamuraiSWISH]

KJ was a 3x time All Star, and for a period a top 3 PG in the game. WTF ... Rod Strickland is an underrated selection. Had handle, insanely quick, could get in the lane at will. Though his jumper was fugly. JR Rider had a smooth game, a jumper, nice mention.

[julizaver]

All-time? Will be a filthy long list.... but Toni "Euro-Magic" Kukoc for me would have to be at the top somewhere, he had amazing court vision/passing ability, could shoot/score, rebound, at 6'11" could handle the ball better than anybody his size probably... that guy was all skills... simply a super versatile big guy.... and its a homer pick considering he is from Croatia :P

NBA or not, you couldnt defend that shit.... he would simply hoist shots over you.... and it was going in.... nothing you can do....

I was wondering about Drazen, but he could be among the first in the other category "the best player to never made an All-Star". In "aesthetically pleasing game" of a non-allstar category I give the edge to Kukoc and Sabonis.
I am sure if Drazen was alive and had he decided to stay in NBA (as he had some thoughts of returnig to Europe, because he was disapointed after last season witn Nets) for the next 3 or 4 years, he for sure would be at least 1-2 times an allstar.
Kukoc and Sabonis also had an allstar caliber talents, but Kukoc spent his prime years in the shadow of Pippen and Jordan, and Sabonis came too late in NBA and with all his physical limitations at the time. Had the young Sabonis pre-1986 (pre-injuries) come to NBA he could be an allstar also.

[LilEddyCurry]

Jamal Crawford?
