With the NBA All-Star Game just a few days away, it’s important to recognize how these players find themselves being honored for the big game. Most players get recognized because of their elite scoring ability. However, that hasn’t always been the biggest reason for how a player got this recognition. Let’s take a look at the NBA All-Star that had the lowest scoring average from every season in NBA history.

1950’s Decade

  • 1950-1951 = (NYK) Dick McGuire – 8.4 PPG
  • 1951-1952 = (NYK) Dick McGuire – 9.2 PPG
  • 1952-1953 = (SYR) Bill Gabor – 9.4 PPG
  • 1953-1954 = (NYK) Dick McGuire – 9.1 PPG
  • 1954-1955 = (NYK) Dick McGuire – 9.1 PPG
  • 1955-1956 = (NYK) Dick McGuire – 6.9 PPG
  • 1956-1957 = (ROC) Richie Regan – 9.8 PPG
  • 1957-1958 = (DET) Dick McGuire – 8.1 PPG
  • 1958-1959 = (DET) Dick McGuire – 9.2 PPG
  • 1959-1960 = (DET) Chuck Noble – 11.3 PPG

If there was anybody best suited for this topic, it would have to be Dick McGuire. He dominated the leaderboards of this feat for more seasons in a single decade than the Chicago Bulls did in the 1990s by way of NBA championships.

McGuire was also the assist champion in the 1949-1950 NBA season. While he never won a title, he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993. This was just one year removed from the induction of his brother, Al, who still stands today as the only pair of brothers that have both made it there.

But outside of Chuck Noble in the 1959-1960 NBA season, the rest of the list for this decade could not surpass a double-digit scoring average in their respective seasons.
