Monta Ellis Trying to Break Warriors' All-Star Drought

Filed under: Warriors, NBA All-Star Game

Keith Smart figures it's time for Golden State's practice facility to get an update.



A banner on the wall makes note of every Warrior to have been selected for the NBA All-Star Game, an impressive collection that includes Wilt Chamberlain, Nate Thurmond and Rick Barry. But the list comes to an end with the 1997 designation of Latrell Sprewell.



The Warriors have by far the longest NBA drought for not having a player make an All-Star team. Tied for second longest are Milwaukee, with Michael Redd the last one, and Sacramento, with Brad Miller and Peja Stojakovic the most recent, not having had an All-Star since 2004.



"Without question, we want to update the banner,'' said Smart, Golden State's coach.
