During a 20-year stretch from 1993-2012, 42 percent of McDonald's All Americans played fewer than 25 career NBA games.
Less than half -- 43.1 percent -- played more than 175 games, the equivalent of two-plus seasons. Only 39 of 469 players -- 8.3 percent -- made more than one NBA All-Star Game.

Seven of the 20 classes examined had at least half of its All Americans fail to reach the 25-game threshold. The 1993 and 1994 classes had just six players play more than 175 NBA games in their careers, while the 2009 and 2012 classes had just seven players. Neither the 2005 nor 2012 class has had a single multiple-time All-Star.
