32 players you forgot were once NBA All-Stars

5) Paul Millsap
Former second-round pick Paul Millsap He seemed like an unlikely star when he made his debut for the Utah Jazz. Despite that, he evolved into a four-time NBA All-Star, just not in Utah. After seven seasons as a member of the Jazz, Millsap signed a four-year deal with the Atlanta Hawks and proceeded to help Atlanta evolve into a contender in the Eastern Conference.
In fact, they improved by 22 wins during his second season with the team and he helped them get all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. During Milsap's time with Atlanta, he dramatically improved as a defender while also becoming a stretch four.
That made him a highly useful player for coach Mike Budenholzer's motion offense, giving him a versatile option on the defensive end. Unfortunately, for Milsap and company, they ran into LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers twice during his four seasons in Atlanta.
The Cavs dominated the East during those days but the Hawks proved to be a worthy rival. Milsap ultimately played fifteen years in the NBA before retiring and is one of the most successful second-round picks ever with multiple all-star appearances.
