Farthest a team went with one All-Star?

[RoseCity07]

I realized that the Blazers were the only team of the final 4 teams that has just one all-star. When was the last time a team with just one all-star made the WCFs or ECFs?

I'm not talking about a team with one all-star and some vets that made the all-star team years before. I'm talking about 1 all-star and no one else on the team has any all-star experience.

Damian Lillard is the only one I can think of that took a team this far. I'm not sure it's ever been done before this year.

[Meticode]

Detroit Pistons 2004, zero all-stars.

2011 Dallas Mavericks, Dirk, won it all without another all-star currently on the team./

Edit: nevermind, you want no other all-star experience except one player. lol

[Meticode]

To be fair, other players who have had vets past their prime took their teams to championship runs with less.

For example, C.J. McCollum is a legit 21/4/4 player that shoots like 48/40/90.

C.J. has all-star talent.

Dirk...when he won in 2011 had no one close to McCollum's offensive prowess. It was Dirk...then the second scorer was like Jason Terry, or Kidd or Marion or Caron Butler. They had no clear second option.

[Meticode]

terry averaged nearly 20ppg in the finals with 50% fgs, 40% threes


he obliterated lebron
Terry wasn't in his prime and was well past it. He wasn't the player then that C.J. is now. Terry was simply open for a ton of threes and he made those shots. Terry was not an all-star talent that year anyway.

[E_Stamkos]

Off the top of my head, those PG led Pacer teams.

David West was previously an all star in the West but he hadn't been selected for like 3-4 years.

Gosh the East is shit.

I don't think Lebron guarded Jason Terry in 2011

2017 Warriors

[RoseCity07]

probly 2002 jason kidd


i don't really count kenyon martins 1 allstar appearance since it was 100% due to kidd spoon feeding him layups

Kittles, Van Horn, and Martin were never all-stars. If true that's impressive.:applause:

Yeah but still. Davis West means it doesn't qualify. Davis West was actually still pretty good on the Warriors. Didn't they have Hibbert too? I think he was an all-star.

2016 Cavaliers had one All-Star, won it all. Against a 73 win team no less. :eek:

Sounds like J Kidd did something but I don't think anyone ever did it in the stacked west.

In 03 David Robinson was a former all star along the lines of how Mutombo was on the Rockets. He was clearly not near an all star player. He put up like 7/7 in 20ish minutes a game on that title run. If you want to count him and ignore the spirit of being an all star so be it.

Cj is in fact better than plenty of all stars though. Having Bj Armstrong, Jamal Magloire, or even Jrue Holiday(who I do like) doesn’t make your team more talented than CJ.

He’s an all star level player which is all that matters.

Not making it means as much as Lilliard not making it in 16 and 17.

We saying Tom Chambers had no all star help when he took the suns to the wcf because 20/12 KJ wasn’t technically an all star yet?

KJ was the teams best player. Chambers was his all star help really.

We counting that because it’s technically fitting?

Well what the **** are you asking?

That team had 1 all star.

[Kblaze8855]

Everyone who isn’t a scrub has flashes. If we count flashes half the leagues starters are all star material. You are what you are most of the time.

Outside of the normal Bron stans with their trolling this is actually a good topic.



I think meticode and kblaze bring up good points though. I mean McCollum is an all-star level talent player. His stats and play show that. He just is playing in a tough conference as far as talent goes and they're adding the two best players in the draft next season so it's not getting easier to make that all-star team.


However, I mean looking at Dirk's run in 2011, it's more impressive considering who he beat and the level of talent around him. Sure they were names but they weren't the players they were before. Only Tyson Chandler make an all-star game on that team afterwards and it was cuz he played in the East during that time. Dirk had all-star teammates who weren't all-state anymore.

MJ made the 89' ECF with no all-stars as a 6 seed, and was the only team to win 2 games off the Bad Boys that year

Portland this year was the 3 seed and had McCollum, who wasn't an all-star but was better than a lot of all-stars

Jason terry played way better in the 2011 playoffs then McCollum did this year or any year for that matter.

Kyrie missed the first two months of that season. He didn't make the All-Star game because he wasn't actually playing.

Lebron stans cling to this, ignoring the fact that Kyrie made the AS game in the 3 seasons before that and the 3 seasons after that.

So, with you logic, in 2014 Tony Parker beat a team with 3 all stars, without any all stars.

Some of the most embarrassing gifs of all time are Terry shitting on Bran in the finals.

Nice try.

[NBAGOAT]

kind of an unfair one because cj is an unique sidekick resume wise and is a fringe all star. I was thinking 07 jazz since deron wasnt an all star at that point yet but forgot okur was an all star that year. Feels like one of the weaker conference finals teams but mainly because boozer was their best player maybe. Then I got to 06 mavs but stackhouse being a former all star years ago disqualifies them(it's a little stupid since all he was a 6th man)

Then as others said it's the 02 nets(you cant even count 03 technically because of mutombo). After that I had to go back to the 99 blazers. No one was an all star that year technically but not sure they had one obvious all star level guy and no former all stars either

And the crazy thing is that was actually legit.

Duncan was way past his all star prime and kawhi was a 11 ppg role player.

It wasn't like 2016 kyrie where you had a 30 ppg prime talent who was just hurt in the rs

everyone tends to undervalue the importance of the supporting cast. almost no one has tony parker as a top 5 player that year, you're right about duncan and kawhi(well duncan was still pretty good), yet they're the 7th best healthy team of all time when healthy so how is that possible?

It's guys 4-9 who played so much better than guys on other teams. the 16 team was similar to a lesser extent

not surprisingly someone on reddit did all the research.
