Shaq missed the playoffs in the 2008-2009 season. He and the Suns went 36-46.
Was it Shaq?nope
Was it Kevin Garnett?nope
Was it Dwyane Wade?nope
Was it mother in Tim Duncan?nope
Kobe Bean Bryant holds this distinction as the last NBA champion to miss the playoffs. I don't think anyone miss the playoffs and shot 6-24 in any game 7 NBA finals game.
Congrats to Kobe.missing the playoffs.
Shaq missed the playoffs in the 2008-2009 season. He and the Suns went 36-46.
Read the description again, who was the last NBA champion?
So Shaq isn't a champion? Oh god Spurfans
That don't count. He got shipped mid-season to Phoenix in a panic move to combat the earth-shaking Pau acquisition.
I see what you're trying to say, but it's not interpreted like that. This thread is about last NBA champion, a champion who was recently crowned that missed the playoffs.
Clearly that isn't what your thread le is saying. Either you are misleading or too dumb to comprehend.
Last NBA champion-HOF to miss the playoffs: An NBA Champion who missed the playoffs most recently.
Last year's NBA champion-HOF that miss the playoffs: Pau Gasol. Don't tell me he's not going to the HOF.
Last NBA champion, not championsGet it straight Laker fan.
Come on Venti... if that is good for luva in the other thread, it's not good for kamikaze on this one?
Anyways, this thread is 2/10 just like the other one, tbh
Oh so now Pau Gasol isn't a champion, a two time champion at that?![]()

When you're making threads, please think of semantics or what you're trying to get across. God 90% of trolls are better than you
We could argue if he's a Hall of Famer, but I surrender. You won
Fail troll thread.
P.S. this is why I don't trollI can't seem to do a good job
The term needed is "most recent NBA champ to miss the playoffs".
Continue.
Shoulda put recent NBA finals champion to miss playoffs
Most recent 5-time champion. However, it still depends if Fish missed the playoffs more recently than Kobe
Most recent FINALS MVP and you would hit the target right between the eyes.
Shoulda just not made this thread... much like luva
Confusing thread but technically Duncan and Garnett qualify. Both were NBA champions, 1999, 2008, and missed the playoffs the following season due to injury. Their teams made it though. I don't see how Kobe gets on the list. He was champ in 2002 and made the playoffs two more years before missing. Shaq and Wade both missed the playoffs after Kobe. The latter three were all former NBA champions when they missed the postseason.
I see, but let us put closure to this thread. It's already done and over with.
I immediately regret clicking on this thread.
