All-Star starters 2017

All-Star games have been historically the highest scoring games of the season. Whether it's the quality of the players put together or the non-consequential nature of the outcomes towards individual teams, these matches never fail to disappoint. Two years ago the West scored 196 over the 182 of the East. In terms of shots that same game has a high of 286 shots. Here each of the players had made at least 10 shots each. Some of the other highest scoring games the All-Star weekend has seen include the one with the first triple-double ever made in an All-Star game by Michael Jordan.

The removal of the shackles that is the pressure of taking their teams forward is what has led to so many players giving great performances. This has not only showcased to a superiority of their conference, usually the West but has also led to a lot of these names making their mark. Some of them have left their mark well enough to become a part of the basketball hall of fame. the With the abundance of ~almost~ triple doubles made over the last few by the All-Star favorites, there are high expectations of those becoming stepping stones towards a record-breaking score.
