Being capped doesn't mean the player won't improve anymore, the training will just slow down considerably. Also improvement at higher skills add a lot to salary, which means getting 2 pops or something over the 50k mark will take your player to 70k or more.
So yes, it's indeed possible there are a lot of players with allstar potential and 50k+ salary, but a small part of them was trained before the BBs introduced potential or was trained at the higher multiplied training speeds even before potential was introduced, and the other part of them just trained considerably slower after hitting the cap, but did improve.
The allstar cap surely is around 50k. (maybe a few K less or more). A perfect example is this player;
Ziv Shpigler
(4192663)Weekly salary:
$ 48 281
DMI: 486500
Age: 23
Height: 6'9" / 206 cm
Potential: allstar *
Game Shape: proficient
Jump Shot: proficient Jump Range: atrocious
Outside Def.: awful Handling: inept
Driving: proficient Passing: inept
Inside Shot: wondrous Inside Def.: tremendous
Rebounding: sensational Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: inept
Experience: awful
As you see at the salary update he got exactly 48k, just under the cap. At the 1st training in the season he double popped IS and ID, getting him above 50k.
After that I wanted to squeeze another ID pop out of this guy, to increase his value a lot before selling him. This took me
7 weeks (!)
