Season 52 All Star Game Rosters
--first appearance of critics' favorite D. Fenestration of Philadelphia
-- Sheetrock Hudson of Charleston is the only repeat starter for the East from last year's star team
-- Half of the two all star rosters, i.e. 10 players, are first-timers in the Star Game
-- Last season's All Star Game MVP, Ehhy Table of Philadelphia, did not make it back to the game. Thus, this guarantees there will be a new ASG MVP this season.
-- The East leads the series 32-19
-- Hall of Fame center J.J. Gargantuan of Sacramento is making his 10th All Star Game appearance, tying him with Uncle Bob Masterson and Momadou Zongo for second-most appearances ever. The most appearances ever belongs to Max Payne, with 11. It is Gargantuan's first ASG appearance since Season 47.
-- The West All Stars have a Hall of Fame backcourt in the starting lineup in Great Gruncle Terry and Jesse Shershot. Add Gargantuan to that starting lineup and the West has three active Hall of Famers in its starting lineup.
-- This ASG appearance by Jesse Shershot gives him 15 awards on his card, tying him for 15th place all-time in the Hall of Fame with Doc Watson and Cam Bodia. Shershot moves past Cheetos Jones, Dan Mann and Colquitt Croix in the rankings.
-- This will be the final All Star Game for Great Gruncle Terry of Los Angeles. It will also be the first and last All Star Game appearance for Buddy "Stankpig" Pigglesworth of Sacramento. Both will be retiring.
-- Three rookies made it to the game this season, with two making it as starters.
-- One of the three rookies in the game, Kopi Luwak of Dallas, was not even deemed "excellent" in pre-draft scouting reports. He is currently leading the way for Rookie of the Year honors.

Great Gruncle Terry ... 57th Member of the MBA Hall of Fame
-- One of the greatest defensive guards of all time and one of the most impactful
-- A record six-time league-leader in assists who led every team he was on in that department.
-- In eight seasons thus far, led four teams to championships from his point guard position -- two in Sacramento and two in Los Angeles. In five of those seasons, his teams won their division and his teams made the playoffs in every season but two.
-- He led his team in blocked shots five times. One of the times he did not lead his team in blocks was the season he blocked a career-best 25 shots for Milwaukee.
-- Did not even make the All-Rookie team his first year, losing out to Fatty McButterpants and Lannigan Lord Hobo; but he was the only one of that special rookie trio of guards to make the Hall of Fame.
-- Enjoy him while you can...this is his ninth and final season.
