Listen to this week's BIG SIX as Chris Broussard counts down the greatest NBA players who never won a championship.
Here are the rankings and the biggest takeaways.
6. Iceman George Gervin: “Tough call over John Stockton, Dominique Wilkins, Steve Nash, and Tracy McGrady, but I’m going with the ICEMAN. Led the league in scoring 4 times, and lost in the conference Finals three times, twice to the Showtime Lakers.”
5. Patrick Ewing: “Top 10 center of all-time whose legacy could have been much different had he been able to will the Knicks to victory in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.”
4. Allen Iverson: “Incredible phenomenon and icon whose style of play made it hard to win a championship with him as your number one guy.”
3. Elgin Baylor: “All the current above the rim players track their lineage back to Elgin Baylor. Led the Lakers to EIGHT NBA Finals.”
2. Charles Barkley: “Don’t let the blubber and silliness you see now on TNT fool you, Barkley was a flat out terror on the court and my favorite power forward of all time. Could do EVERYTHING offensively.”
1. Karl Malone: “Second leading scorer in NBA history and a two-time MVP. I give him the nod over Barkley because of his longevity and because he was a better defender.”
