29) Tyson Chandler

NBA fans almost certainly still remember long-time NBA center Tyson Chandler but with him playing for 19 years, it is easy for most to forget that he did make an all-star team. Chandler was an in-demand center over the course of his nearly two-decade career.

Actually, he played for eight teams, though he is best remembered for his time with the Mavericks but he actually made an all-star team as a member of the New York Knicks. With Chandler, New York got off to a blistering start to the 2012 season, going 19-6 in their first 25 games and he was later selected to the East All-Star team for the first time at the age of 30.

The Knicks would go on to finish with a 54-28 record, with Chandler averaging 10.4 points and 10.7 rebounds. They would even make the East Semi-Finals but were knocked out by the Indiana Pacers. While Chandler didn't make another all-star appearance, he still continued playing well into his 30s, even besting his production from his all-star season with the Phoenix Suns. He would go on to play a staggering 1160 games, with his all-star appearance only solidifying what was already a stellar career.
