Milwaukee Bucks: Best players to never make an All-Star appearance
The Milwaukee Bucks have been mainstays in recent All-Star Games. But who are some of their greatest players that never made an All-Star appearance?
For more than a decade, All-Star games weren’t too kind to the Milwaukee Bucks.
With superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo breaking the Bucks’ All-Star drought during the 2016-17 season with his first of four All-Star appearances, Milwaukee has since been well represented in recent All-Star Games. And Antetokounmpo has had some company with Khris Middleton joining him in the last two editions.

Of course, this era of Bucks basketball resembles the early glory days the Bucks enjoyed throughout the 1970s and 1980s, along with a sprinkling of the early 2000s.
In total, the Bucks have had 20 players who have gone on to collectively make 44 All-Star appearance throughout the franchise’s 52 years of existence.
As many of the franchise’ greatest players have gone on to rattle off multiple All-Star appearances over the years like Antetokounmpo, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Sidney Moncrief, Marques Johnson, and so on, other greats never got the same honor for a variety of factors.
So without further ado, let’s run through some of the best Bucks players in franchise history that never got the chance to suit up at the NBA’s midseason classic.
