With its latest strategy, the NBA took steps on Wednesday to ensure that its key players are front and center in more games, particularly nationally televised matchups, with a number of'stars' who are sometimes ineligible to be rested.

In any of the previous three seasons, a star player has been either an All-Star or on the All-NBA team. Teams will now have to track their rosters to ensure that no one key player is off the field at any time. There are 50 players who fit into the star category but who are they and why could some of the league's biggest names sometimes be exempt?
