Greatest NBA player who never got a ring?

[peskypesky]

Wondering what y'all think. Top of mind I think of Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, George Gervin.... Who are some of the others?

(I'd add AI and Nash to the list, but I guess theoretically they both still have chances.)

[monosylab1k]

Elgin Baylor

[YellowFever]

Gotta be Moses Malone.

OOppps..meant Karl Malone....but nevermind..I'll go with Baylor

[peskypesky]

how the hell did Elgin Baylor never manage to win one?

Bill Russell played in that era. The year he retired. The Lakers won 33 in a row and won the title.
He retired in the middle of the season.

Lost 6 times to the green pukes.

Elgin is by far the best player to not get a ring.

Barkley and Malone are a close 2nd... but Baylor changed the game. The first real high flyer.

[peskypesky]

People really think Barkley over Karl Malone when it comes to greatest PF without a ring?

[Boston Pancake]

I thought Laker fans would homer vote Elgin Baylor.

Like any Lakers fans these days even know who he is. They probably think he's just the guy that used to be the shitty GM for the Clips :lmao those fucksticks would never admit liking a guy that spent his entire career getting his teeth kicked in by the mighty Celtics.

1-3 roadtrip...Lakers beatdown on the Celtics messed them up even more than I thought.

"Bynum made no difference", KG...my how the "mighty" have fallen.

[peskypesky]

okay, after checkin out Elgin's stats, especially his playoff stats, I'm agreeing with the first answer that was given: Elgin Baylor.

The dude averaged 27 pts and 13 rebounds in 134 playoff games...which puts him slightly ahead of Barkley (23pts, 13rbds,123 games), who just barely squeaks by Karl Malone (24.7pts, 10.7rbds, 193 games), IMO. Then comes Ewing, Gervin and Dominique.

[YellowFever]

Did Artis Gillmore win any rings?

I thought the guy was a fantastic player.

Only problem with him was he had to play in the same time frame as Kareem.

I'll never forget watching those two go head to head when I was around 7 or 8.

And he by far had the best fro around. :lol

Tracy McGrady. LMAO! "And a good time was had by all!"

Steve Nash and Allen Iverson each might have a case as they start seeing the ends of their careers. LeBron if he doesn't win one in his career.

For the retired players, like many have mentioned already, I'd say it's a toss-up between Karl Malone and Elgin Baylor. That's just for me though.

Did you read my blog? I dealt with this issue there, a similar NBA.com link and all. Let me repeat it. All sports data before the internet's existence comes from a paper trail. Someone concluded Baylor had no ring when they wrote that without knowing the whole story, which is in my blog.

[balli]

Stockton. No doubt the single best player without a ring.

Malone was a better player than Barkley overall, but Malone choked in the Finals; brought on his own demise. That has to be taken into account. Not only does it hurt Malone, but I think it helps Stockton because I view him [Malone] as the force that prevented Stock from getting a ring.

I disagree. I have been a Laker fan as long as you and Baylor's ring to me and most I know was a token gesture. He retired. Yes he had an injury, but it was not a season ending injury. He decided to retire rather than go through rehab and rejoining the team. Yes he has a physical ring. Yes he played 9 games that year. But he retired. To say he earned the ring on the court in my opinion is just not real. Don't get me wrong. I have nothing but admiration for the man. He was Dr J before Dr J. The first real flyer in the game. He did things no other player imagined before him. Arguably one of the best forwards to ever play the game.

Where did I say he earned the ring? My blog post was did he ever receive one. You should know this story as well! A postscript would be suppose the Lakers didn't win in 1972. He could still rejoin the team if he wanted one that badly and try again.

Elgin is clear cut #1,

There are a few more:

Barkley

:toast

All due respect to the great Elgin Baylor...but he played in two games in the 70-71 season...and nine games in the 71-72 season, so to say that he was a Champion in '72 is pretty far-fetched.

I wish there was more footage available of him playing...

[Lakers_55]

Phil Jackson has two rings as a player. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Jackson He cowrote a book about the 1969-70 New York Knicks championship, a season he missed entirely due to injury, http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/NYK/1970.html yet he got a ring for it! He played for them the year before and a few years afterward. Elgin getting one for playing 9 games is not unthinkable.

No arguments. Many people receive rings. I believe even a few Laker supporters were given rings during the Kobe/Shaq wins. I always felt bad that Elgin wasnt on the floor when they won it that year. He certainly deserved one (earned on the floor) with the career he had.

Although I truly dislike Simmons of ESPN... he wrote a great article on Elgin in Oct

Um, Moses Malone swept the Lakers in the 1983 Finals.

[Chieflion]

Penny Hardaway as honorable mention. He was good before his stupid injuries.
Chris Webber. One of the best passing big men in the last decade and this decade. Although his immaturity in his early years in the NBA does not help.

[baseline bum]

Barkley and Baylor are the only two I'd consider top 15-20 players all-time who didn't win a championship, and to me it's a coin flip between those two.

Webber had too much Karl Malone in him at the end of games. Hardaway loses based on his ridiculously sour attitude after Shaq went to LA. If we're going to name players who had 4-5 great years and later fell of a cliff, Grant Hill would surely have to trump the Nickel.

He came close, getting traded midseason for Mark Aguirre the year the Pistons won it. He had to at least get a playoff share, per the one given to Baylor as mentioned in my blog. Detroit fans were campaigning hard to get him a ring for his many and great contributions before his departure. We would need a longtime Piston fan to answer this. Jamstone, you still viewing this?

Walt Bellamy
Dick Van Arsdale
Tom Van Arsdale (He never even made the playoffs! Damn Cincinatti Royals, lol)
For those that never heard of the Van Arsdale's, they were twins. Dick was a guard, Tom a forward. They did play against each other in at least one All Star game. They could get you 20 points or more in any given game. They finished their careers playing together in Phoenix.

I never saw Baylor play, unfortunately. So, excluding active players (Nash, Dirk), my starting five would be:

- Stockton

I really disliked all these players, except Barkley, he played with balls. It was a joy to watch him play with intensity even with his fucked up back in his last days.

It's because Isiah Thomas is one of the biggest dicks ever. He couldn't stand Dantley. Isiah had Dantley traded before the deadline so he couldn't receive any type of championship compensation.

I don't think he's better than Barkley or Baylor, but I will say Stockton has to be the most underrated player in the history of the game. I still can't believe the Bulls survived the 98 Finals, especially after Stockton hit that go-ahead three with like 40 seconds left in game 6 (if Malone holds onto the ball, Utah is the 98 champ). Stockton alone willed that team to victory in the series with Sacramento the way Michael Finley single-handedly dragged the Mavs past them a couple of years later.

Barkley.

I didn't read this entire thread but definately Kobe.

Do you mean Koby Karl, son of coach George, who was put on the inactive roster by the Lakers during the playoffs last year? If you are thinking of Bryant, he has a 3peat. Not many players can attest to winning three rings in a row.

I'd take Barkley over Malone everytime, I watched his greeatness and I wouldn't argue with one person about that choice. Keep Malone I want Barkley every single time. The dude was a beast and very undersize but he was truly great. He used his gifts to the best of his ability. He never choked in the Finals either.

[galvatron3000]

In my lifetime, Stockton and Malone. And those late '90s Utah teams would have smoked anyone other than Chicago in those Finals.

Not sure about that because the East had teams that could have won if not for the BUlls being so good, Pippen on Stockton killed the Jazz. Bulls were too versatile. Pacers, Knicks and the Jazz had two chances the years prior and afterwards they lost to Seattle or someone else, Portland I think.

That's not true. By his own admission, he didn't work as hard as he could have. He was a great player, and was a beast, especially when you consider he was a 6'4 power forward, but Malone was a much harder worker than Barkley.

I have no knowledge of him making such an admission but it has nothing to do with what I said. He used his ability not honed, which is what you are referring too. AT 6'4 he used his strength, his athleticism, basketball smarts and whatever to the best of his ability. If he could have done more I don't know what it could have been. Perhap he coould have been a better defender but you never got the sense Barkley was close to pulling a Vince Carter, never!!

Barkley has stated in print on multiple occasions (notably in his first biography Outrageous) that he would have had a ring if he had been a better team leader on defense and/or a better individual defender. He admits that he never fully appreciated the value of team defense until he retired.
