** Forward Pietro Destroyer of Seattle, also playing in his last All Star Game, is just 2 assists away from tying All Star Game leader Percy Faith in ASG assists. Destoryer has 18...one behind Uncle Bob Masterson and 2 behind Faith's 20.
**Both Croix and Destroyer have made the All Star Game seven times in seven seasons, good for a 9th place tie all time.

8--Mamadou Zongo
7--Boone Doggle
7--Uncle Bob Masterson
**Center Tree Fiddy of Sacramento has appeared in 6 All Star Games...tied for 22nd most appearances.
**No rookies made the All Star Game this season. The closest to making it was Freddy Chepuzzo of Kansas City, who was the only 20-plus GVP player in the league to not make the team. His 20.4 GVP would have been enough for him to start for the West.
**Getting closer to Hall of Fame status with this ASG appearance are: Pap Smearz (9th award), Tree Fiddy (8th), Pietro Destroyer (8th...but retiring) and Dr. Marcus Brody (6th).
**There are 9 first-time All Stars this season. Four of the 5 starters in the West are first-time All Stars. There are a total of 5 West first timers and 4 for the East. The one first-timer starting in the East is forward Tiger Masterson of Dallas, who makes his first ASG team in his 8th season in the MBA.
**Last appearances are being made by retiring players Colquitt Croix, Pietro Destroyer and guard Lapiz Lapiz Boligrafo of Charleston.
**The oldest All Stars this season are both in their 10th season: forward Pap Smearz of Sacramento and Boligrafo.
**Every MBA team is represented in this ASG, including second-year team Kansas City, which gets its first All Star in the card of second-year forward "Hi-Ho" Trailus Bootwhip.
**Conspicuous by their absence:
-- All-MBA guard last season, Potus Obama of Sacramento...the only R-Dog starter to not make the team.
-- Last season's ASG MVP, guard Fatty McButterpants of Milwaukee, who registered a triple-double in the S45 game and has made the team in both his first two seasons.
-- Wawa Wewa of Philadelphia, who was edged out of his first appearance by Ape Con Myth of Milwaukee due to a poor performance in his last game.
-- Kansas City rookie guard Freddy Chepuzzo who looked like a lock but then had two sub-par games in a row.
-- Oklahoma City's highly touted rookie center Chochky Galumpkus, who has been a buster thus far.
-- Hall of Fame center J.J. Gargantuan of Charleston, who had made the ASG all 8 of his seasons in the league.
-- Third-year forward Frog Morton of Charleston, who, thanks to being shut down by Chip Battoe in two games this season, never came close to the ASG this season after starting his first two seasons.
-- Shooting guard Bingo Bango of Dallas, who has appeared in 3 ASGs and will be retiring.
**There are 10 players on this season's ASG roster who also made last season's ASG.

3--Uncle Bob Masterson
2--Naf Naf
2--Smoky Talisker
2--Cheetos Jones
2--Boone Doggle
2--Cappy Gambol
2--Didger A'Doo
