    Invent your own criteria.

    I'm going to go with David Robinson. Anyone want to take a stab at describing my criteria?

    Actually now that I think about it, the luckiest player is Robert Horry. How many championship rings does he have now?

    a better thread would be to start the "unluckiets player in NBA history"
    Lots of choices there.

    I guess by your criteria, Shawn Kemp would be the unluckiest.

    Riding Duncan to a ring? Not having to truly serve in the Navy? Accidentally winning a league MVP?


    My vote?

    Juwan Howard. He was overpaid for more than a decade.

    Kobe Bryant!

    Lucky to get trade to LA the media wonderland and played with the most dominant player in his prime and won 3 rings. Without Shaq, he will be just another T-mac!

    Well, I was starting with the injury turned into improbable lottery win that landed Duncan who salvaged his legacy in a strike shorten asterix season.

    I could go on....

    15 responses and not a single Robert Horry mention?! :eek:

    There aren't many guys on this planet that can go to sleep at night knowing they've won more championships than MJ.

    Allan Houston. One lucky bounce saved JVG from firing and earned himself a 100 millions contract.
