NBA: 20 ridiculously obscure NBA All-Star seasons that we totally forgot
By Jono Perilli
7: Chris Kaman (2009-10)
Season Stats: 18.5 points, 9.3 rebounds per game
You expected this, be honest. Chris Kaman is arguably one of the most unlikely All-Stars ever, it’s hard to top The Caveman’s appearance in 2010.
Where do we begin? It feels like a bit of a laugh to consider Kaman an All-Star, but we’ll give it to him. That season, Kaman was shockingly fantastic for the LA Clippers, making a huge, and valued impact for the team. He was fantastic enough to make the All-Star team, which sheesh, it still blows a lot of NBA fans minds just thinking about it.

It sounds like sarcasm, but he actually deserved it. He was efficient, effective and astoundingly strong, terrorizing the post on offense. As much as he was a bit of a comedic player because look at him, he was still pretty good that season.
He’d never end up rising back up to that level again, drifting around the league in the 2010s, before retiring. Considering where was drafted in the 2003 NBA Draft, he was never that crash-hot, but good on him for doing something at least.
It feels a bit shocking to consider him an All-Star Center, who was competing against some of the best in the world, but let’s give it to him for goodness sake.
