Notable NBA All-Star Rookies
Blake Griffin
2011
After sitting out his first official season in the league because of a fracture in his knee, Blake Griffin returned in full force this year, turning in one highlight-reel dunk after another and tallying 27 straight double-doubles earlier in the season. Griffin was selected as a reserve in the 2011 All-Star Game, making him the 44th rookie -- and the first since 2003 -- named to the midseason showdown.
In light of Griffin's honor, here's a look back at some of the most notable rookie All-Stars.
