Robert Horry (14 years), Tim Duncan (nine) and Rasho Nesterovic (eight) are among six active players with at least five years of NBA experience who have never missed the playoffs.

Well, Shaq is one, isn't he? Did he miss the playoffs when he was in Orlando?

Shaq missed the playoffs in his first season.

Jermaine O'Neal maybe?

Jermaine O'Neal - huh. He may have, technically, been in the playoffs for his whole career, because he was riding the pine in Portland when the Blazers were in their incredible run of consecutive playoff experiences. But does it really count if he never played?

Peja - Wow. I wouldn't have picked him for never missing the playoffs. But I think that's right.

As for the sixth player - could it actually be Nash or Nowitzki?

Duncan, O'Neal, Horry, Peja...that's some pretty good company for Rasho. It's not ALL luck.

Bobby Jackson and Bonzi Wells come to mind, as they both ended up on the Grizzlies at the right time.

Bonzi's first season in Portland, his team got swept out of the conference finals by the Spurs.

well...technically Tim Duncan didn't play in the 2000 playoffs so I guess we will cut Jermaine some slack...:lol

You are right. But he didn't play at all, that's why there are no stats for him.

He also missed the playoffs in 00/01 (injury?).

Since Duncan missed the playoffs with an injury as well, and he's included in the original statement, I don't think that's what the stat means.

He made it to the Euroleague Finals both years he played in Italy, as well, winning one championship there.

Nash and Nowitzki missed the playoffs in 1999 and 2000. Peja Stojakovic is one of them. His rookie season was in 1998-99, Sacramento’s first year in the postseason in forever. This was his eighth season in the league.

1998-99 is the cutoff.

I think this makes Rasho officially the third best player on the team.

The better joke would be about Shareef Abdur-Rahim or Lamond Murray. They both made their playoff debuts this season.

Kevin Garnett has made the playoffs 8 of his 11 seasons in the league.

No joke. What I really find impressive is how Rasho let the T'Wolves to the playoffs as a rooke when he only played 2 games. I mean, imagine how good he had to be in those 2 games to lead a team to the playoffs.

Amazing.

It is for guys who have five full years of experience. Officially, Tony has 4 full years of experience.

You do realize that Rasho joined the T-Wolves AFTER completing his season in Europe and the Euro-league Finals. He could have gotten more money and an additional year on his contract by just waiting for the summer like everyone else does, but he went to Minnesota and joined the T-Wolves as soon as he was free from his obligation to his Italian team in May 1999. That is why he only played 2 regular season games as a rookie- that's all he was there for.

You'll come around, timvp. I wouldn't be suprised if Horry had an eight of Slovenian blood... lol
