Stephen Curry, 2013
The 2012-13 season was the first year in which Stephen Curry became a star. He overcame nagging ankle injuries to help the Golden State Warriors make a run in the playoffs, becoming an All-Star snub in the process.
During that year, Curry averaged 23 points, four rebounds and seven assists per game. This was also the first time in his career where he started taking an absurd amount of three-pointers, which made his efficiency that much more impressive. He shot 45.3 percent from deep on eight attempts per game. This was also the season in which Curry had his memorable game in Madison Square Garden, scoring 54 points.
Tony Parker, James Harden and Russell Westbrook were reserve guards that made the cut over Curry. You can’t argue too much, as Parker had one of the best seasons of his legendary career at that time, Harden averaged 25+ per game and Westbrook had a big year on a team that had previously gone to the NBA Finals.
That being said, I’m confident in saying Gobert’s snub was worse than Curry’s 2013 snub. David Lee didn’t deserve to be Golden State’s All-Star during that year, but he took up one of the forward spots. The game was more strict about positions back then.
