There is no doubt that the championship is the highest honor that every NBA player dreams of, even if you are the top star, but if you lack the championship ring, then you will always have one less chip than others to compete for historical position. However, for some stars, although they have never been able to taste the champagne of victory in their lives, their strength is still recognized by many fans. Let's take stock of the top superstars who have not won their careers and give them a grade by the way.
Class A: Nash
As one of the best stadium commanders of the 21st century, Nash led the Suns to evolve into a popular bombardment team with his amazing passing skills and delicate offense, and he became a two-time MVP winner, and the honor of 5 assists and 3 first-team appearances is even more remarkable. Only in the face of the Lakers, Spurs and other giants, the Sun has never been able to break through the West, as Nash grows older, the championship can only be his inner regret forever.
S-Class: Stockton, Baylor
Like Nash, Stockton is one of the strongest traditional point guards in NBA history, even more so than Nash. In Stockton's 19-year career, he has reached 17 full-time seasons, which is evident in his outstanding physical fitness. In addition, Stockton also left a career record of 15806 assists and 3265 steals, and in addition to not having a championship, he can say that he can do the ultimate in a point guard.
If you want to name the most unlucky star in NBA history, then this award must be Elgin Belle. As the strongest small forward player in ancient times, Baylor Grandpa has been selected for a total of 10 first-time and 11 All-Stars, and has also helped the Lakers reach the championship stage eight times. However, despite many opportunities to compete for the championship, Baylor was never able to lift the O'Brien Cup, and the title of King of Baya became his lifelong nightmare. The joke is that after Baylor announced his retirement, the Lakers immediately won the championship, which is really time and fate.
SS Class: Barkley, Iverson
Scenes like this often happen in the TNT studio, where Barkley and O'Neal argue endlessly, and after the latter shows off 4 championship rings, the Fliggy can't say anything in an instant. It has to be said that the championship has indeed become the regret of Sir Bar's life, throughout his career, the average of 22 + 12 per game, the shortest rebounding king in history, and the MVP trophy stolen from Jordan's hand and other honors can not be unsurpassed, but the most important championship ring is missing. But this is not to blame Barkley, in front of the god of basketball, winning the championship is really a fantasy.
The name Iverson means too much, since entering the NBA in 1996, Iverson has given fans around the world one gorgeous performance after another with a gorgeous change of direction, and the honor of 4 scoring kings and MVP all show the horror power of AI. But unfortunately, even if Iverson's performance is no longer solvable, leaving more classic shots, he can't cross the OK mountain, until the fallen leaves choose to retire, and the lone hero still can't get a championship ring that belongs to him.
SSS Class: Malone
Needless to say, Karl Malone was duncan's all-time top striker, the second-highest total scoring record in history, 2 MVPs, 11 first-time appearances, 3 first-defenses, 14 All-Stars, and the steady 25+10 per game and attendance, all of which show the greatness of Malone's career. But tragically, the man who stood in front of Malone in the finals was called Jordan, and the existence of the latter also made Malone, who should have become the first big forward in history, lose the biggest chip to compete with Duncan, which is really regrettable.
