How difficult is it to never miss an All-Star game in your career? Only 5 people have done it, and Yao Ming is one step away from making history.

In the fall of 1950, the NBA entered its fourth year, but began to decline. After consultation, the then NBA Commissioner Bodoloff and Celtics President Walter Brown decided to select the best players from the East and West for a competition about halfway through the season. This was also an imitation of the popular National Professional Baseball League in the United States. After decades of development, the NBA All-Star Game gradually became the All-Star Weekend, and the main game also evolved into an exhibition game. However, NBA players still regard being selected as an All-Star as a great honor.

In order to be selected as an All-Star, in addition to excellent skills, you also need to be recognized by the fans, coaches and the media. If you have never missed an All-Star game in your career, it means that you have always been very popular and competitive from the beginning to the end of your career, which is a very difficult thing to do. In the 78-year history of the NBA, only 5 players have done this. Let's take a look at which 5 players they are.
