Tmac is in his own league ha just cuz he was a top 3 player in the league for a while but never managed to win a round.
Definitely T-Mac, you could make the argument that he was on bad teams some years, but there is only so long that will stand. Also, its pretty weird that the one year the team plays a playoff series without him, they make it to the 2nd round. And like the guy above me said, T-Mac was more talented than any other person on the list, and "it was really on him" since he was "the man" or "co the man" on his playoff teams. At first, Yao might have been included in this list, but now, we can just say the other times he didn't make it, T-Mac was just pulling him down
Most talented player that never made to the second round? T-mac. Best playoff numbers but never won a series? T-mac. Overall? T-mac.
I'm thinking Marc Gasol and Best-Dunk-Over-Car-Hood-Evar Griffin if both don't leave their respective teams.
McGray is the obvious one. But I still think Garnett with Minnesota is right up there. He got to the WCF that one year because he had Cassell and Sprewell, and they were all healthy. Seems like Garnett can't win unless he has a healthy big-3 for his team. Anyway, all these don't say much about an individual player because winning is a team thing. I am really tired of people using playoffs or championship records to judge a player's greatness.
didn't shareef abdur rahim play exclusively for bad teams throughout his entire career and only made it to the playoffs once?
I'm pretty sure Elton Brand and Sam Cassell had more to do with the Clippers making it to the second round that year than Kaman...
