How many times was Juwan Howard an All-Star? Michigan HC's career achievements explored

Juwan Howard, the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines, was known as a solid, consistent role player across 19 seasons in the NBA. As shown time and time again, most college basketball stars do not maintain stardom when they go to the pros. Nevertheless, the former Michigan basketball legend ended up as one of the more recognizable role players to ever lace up.

But unlike a lot of other former journeymen, Howard was an All-Star. How many did he have? Well, that question will be answered here.

How many times was Juwan Howard an All-Star?

Juwan Howard has one All-Star selection in his career. He was picked for the 1996 All-Star Game, which also his best-ever year stats-wise.

As a member of a young Washington Bullets squad, Howard was its main guy on offense. He averaged 22.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists on 48.9% shooting. Howard was also only the second player in Washington franchise history to score 40 points in back-to-back games after the legendary Bernard King.

Aside from being named an All-Star, Howard was also named to the All-NBA third team that season. While this may not sound like much, he joined a team stacked with future legends: Charles Barkley, a young Shaquille O'Neal and sharpshooters Reggie Miller and Mitch Ritchmond.

Did Juwan Howard play in the All-Star Game?

Juwan Howard played in the 1996 All-Star Game. He was a nonfactor the entire game, but that game was basically a welcome-back party for one guy: Michael Jordan.

Howard logged two points, two assists, and six rebounds in 16 minutes. For reference's sake, Shaquille O'Neal led the Eastern All-Stars with 25 points and 10 rebounds; Jordan followed with 20 points; and Penny Hardaway had 18 points, seven rebounds and three assists.

For a relatively young player like Juwan Howard back then, it must've been an amazing feeling playing against all those future Hall of Famers. The West's squad was equally stacked with legends too: Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone and David Robinson to name a few.
