ALL STAR GAME INFO
-- Just one rookie, Potus Obama of Sacramento, made the All Star Game
-- There are five first-time All Stars this year, with forward Jairo Capoiera of Seattle waiting the longest to make it for the first time...six seasons. Apparently, Capoiera was satisfied to the point of announcing his retirment at the end of this season.
-- In addition to Capoiera, five other players who made the All Star rosters (a total of six) will hang it up after this season. Among those are Hall of Fame center Max Payne of Oklahoma City, fellow center Naceg Gecan of Seattle, forward Gulemon Mon-Mon of Dallas, guard Ginger Vampire of Oklahoma City and forward Vic Hitler of Los Angeles.
-- Fourth and fifth-year players accounted for the most players on All Star rosters with four players each from those respective classes.
-- Max Payne, with his 11th All Star roster spot, has now ascended to the top of the All Star list. He was previously in a deadlock with Uncle Bob Masterson and Mamadou Zongo, with 10 All Star spots, for the all-time top number. Also ascending the All Star selection list are Ginger Vampire, and Naceg Gecan, both earning their seventh spots and Gulemon Mon-Mon, making it for the sixth time. Unfortunately, every one of the ascendant players will be retiring after this season.
-- Additionally, Max Payne now moves up the ranks in the Hall of Fame, garnering his 21st career award. He is now tied for second most honored player with Uncle Bob Masterson, trailing only Curly Hogbottom's 25 awards.
-- Also moving up in the Hall of Fame rankings is Naf Naf, whose All Star Game addition gives him 18 career honors. Naf moves past Stu Nod and Link Lennex into a tie for seventh-most-honored player of all time with Boone Doggle and Mamadou Zongo.
