Prince won a championship and made the Dream Eight team, but why was he never selected as an All Sta

As we all know, the Dream Eight team is one of the most dominant. In the 2008 Olympic Games, Kobe, James, Wade, Howard and other stars gathered, and finally won the championship, showing the strength of inexplicability. The Dream Eight Team is also considered to be the most powerful Dream Team except for the Dream One Team.

You must know that as strong as Durant, they didn't make it to the Dream Eight team, and in the Dream Eight team, there is a player who was drafted in the same year as Yao Ming and has won the NBA championship, but he has never been selected as an All-Star.

He is the little prince Prince, in the 02 draft, Yao Ming was the top pick, and Prince fell to the 23rd pick. The team that drafted him was the Pistons, and Prince was just a substitute for the team in his rookie season, averaging only points and rebounds per game, and he didn't look like a superstar at all. However, since his sophomore year, Prince has grown into a starter, and his stats have improved to points, rebounds and assists, especially on the defensive end, which is impressive.

Since then, he has been the heart of the Pistons' forward line, playing in 82 games in six consecutive years, forming a Pistons five-man lineup with Billups, Hamilton and double Wallace. With a tough defense, the Pistons managed to reach the top in '04. In the finals that year, Prince averaged 10+7+2 data per game and was the core member of the Pistons to win the championship.

As a defensive forward, Prince has been selected to the All-Defensive Team 2 times four times, and was one of the league's top defensive giants at his peak. In the 07-08 season, Prince could get the average number of rebounds and assists per game, not only excellent defensive performance, but also a stable three-point shot, and finally he was selected for the Dream Eight team. Being able to form a forward partnership with James and Anthony is enough to prove Prince's strength, and in the end, they also won the championship easily.

Prince played 14 seasons in the NBA, playing for the Pistons, Grizzlies, Celtics and Timberwolves, and he has been efficient and consistent. Being able to help the Pistons win the championship as the core of the team, and then be selected to the star-studded Dream Eight team and win the Olympic gold medal, Prince's career has been successful enough. The only regret is that Prince has never been selected to the All-Star team in his 14-year career.

It wasn't until 2016 that Prince retired in a low-key manner, earning a total salary of $81.68 million in his career, with an NBA championship + Olympic championship, which can be said to be very successful. After retiring, Prince didn't stay away from basketball, and he has since continued his basketball dream by becoming a special assistant to the Grizzlies general manager.

Mainly because the All-Star competition was a bit big at the time, and Prince's stats weren't very good.

Because he is a bit like a 3D player now, with excellent three-point shooting and defense, he can be said to be very dedicated and serious in playing, and he is a very low-key player, and his popularity is naturally not high.

Because Prince has always been a striker who is good at defense, the offensive means are limited, the data is not **, and the style of play is not enough to attract fans, so it is natural that he can't compete with James, Pierce, Ray Allen and others in the same period.
