Barkley always is mentioned here but there are others Ewing Stockton Malone Kemp Payton Reggie Miller Which one stands out as the best player without a Ring? Which one is the most 'tragic' I guess? Barkley is Probably the one I would want to have one. The ones that seems to make me happiest are Stockton and Malone. This one stands out most for me because you have a team with what folx call the 'BEST POWER FORWARD OF ALL TIME' and 'TOP 5 BEST POINT GUARDS' and were together for double digit years and they NEVER GOT ONE! I guess we could attribute that to the 'THE ARGUMENT' . . . . they didn't play with anyone . . or whatever Reality there didn't get it done! Rocket River
Karl Malone. He was arguably the best power forward of all time until Duncan( I consider Duncan a center) came along.
I don't know why but sometimes I secretly root for Steve Nash. He is an excellent pg and makes so many good plays in a game that you enjoy watching him. Plus I still hate Horry for that cheap shot he gave Nash for no good reason. The Suns would have won that series and possibly a championship.
No way can you hate a Houston legend... Horry will forever be a hero and can do no wrong in my book! Chilcutt
Elgin Baylor (in a sense), he wasn't really active when the team won the Title in his last year... he was on IR, I believe. Nate Thurmond Kevin Johnson Tom Chambers Who active might be added to this list? Jason Kidd Steve Nash Dirk Nowitzki Tracy McGrady Vince Carter Yao Ming
I don't know why you want to label "Best Player with No Rings" as "Biggest Loser." "Loser" has a pejorative connotation. There are many factors that contribute to winning a championship. Not winning one does not make a player a loser. That aside, of the players on the list, I'd say Stockton was the best player. It is very debatable whether Barkley was better than Malone. (I can't believe I am propping up those two guys! ) But these are some of the most notable players who never won a ring. Did Dominique Wilkens win one? I don't think so.
Dominique Wilkins David Thompson George Gervin Patrick Ewing Elton Brand Alex English Adrian Dantley Bob Lanier Artis Gilmore
Lebron will eventually win a ring AFTER he leaves Cleveland. T-Mac is on his way to the exit door and will join the list soon. Melo is the new T-Mac, gifted player with all the right tools to win but lacking hunger and drive. Kidd is onboard so is Nash. Put Iverson and Carter on there as well. Stockton and Malone take crown for this one. Top 3 PF and Top 3 PG and still couldn't get the job done? Jazz are cursed forever
I'll try to use people who haven't mentioned: Nate Thurmond Aryvdas Sabonis Jeff Hornacek (another Jazz...player) Steve Smith Norm Van Lier CALVIN MURPHY and RUDY TOMJANOVICH
