(NBA Champs with no All-NBA players: 1978 Bullets, 1979 Supersonics, 1989 Pistons)

Notes: All NBA Third Team added 1989

I don't have a point here, and I'm actually pretty shocked this has happened as many times as it has. I started this list expecting to have four or five entries, but I was surprised the 80's Lakers and Celtics had so many instances where only one player was selected to the All-NBA Team.

Anyway, Duncan or LeBron will add his name to this not-so-exclusive list this year.

If you want an exclusive list, I believe that the 1999 Spurs were the only champions in history who didn't have a guard on their team that had been or would become an All-Star.

Wasn't Manu an all-star in 2005?

An All-Star, but not All-NBA.

[Spurminator]

Yeah, the list becomes much shorter when you list the lone All-Stars on Championship teams.

But I think the All-NBA Team is a better indicator of the NBA Elite.

[BeerIsGood!]

All NBA is only 5 players. How often do 2 teammates make it? Pip - Jordan and Shaq-Kobe are the only two I can think of in recent memory.

There is All-NBA First, Second, and Third Team. So there are 15 players, IIRC.

[Spurminator]

Three teams of five players from 1989 on.

Before 1989 there were only two teams.
