Duncan never getting a DPOY.
I was thinking about championship teams and their roll players when I remembered that Antoine Walker won a ring as a member of the Heat 06 team. This disgusts me. When looking back through history at all the amazing players who ended their careers ringless, the though of this pathetic bas wearing one seems terrible.
What are some of the biggest injustices or disappointments you can think off?
Jerry Sloan never winning coach of the year – If nothing else he deserves it as a lifetime achievement award his dedication and successes have to be admired.
Kevin Johnson – As a Phoenix fan I loved him and always will. I wish his career could have been less injury plagued as I think I could have been one of the all time greats. You can throw Penny in here as well.
Steve Nash – Another homer pick. I love the man’s passion and I love what he has done for my team. Say what you will about his MVPs but one thing I think he DOES deserve is a ring. Throw Dirk in this category to!
Duncan never getting a DPOY.
Dallas not winning a 2006 championship
also Bowen
Shaq and Kobe not winning more rings
Teams who acquire top big men for a pittance.
This is terrible considering the last two winners of the award. I have watched alot of spurs games and I know first hand Duncan is a superior defender to both of them.
The outcomes of the 2002 WCF and 2006 Finals
The pussies lost both times. Seems pretty just.
Is it any worse than the other option: that Keith Van Horn would have a ring?
I think it's pretty ridiculous Shaquille O'Neal only has one regular season League MVP for his career.
Dennis Johnson and Bernard King still not being in the HOF.
Not so much an injustice, but more of a "so not fair"... David Robinson getting injured the draft year of Tim Duncan and the Spurs lucking out with the #1 pick.
Somewhat similar, the Orlando Magic landing the #1 overall pick two years in a row, but instead of keeping Chris Webber, trading him for Penny Hardaway and draft picks. Disappointment in that I would have really liked to see what Shaq and Webber would have done together.
Bowen/Duncan never getting a DPOY.
even worse considering DWIGHT HOWARD just got one...
and the entire 2006 postseason, an all-round travesty.
The death of the SuperSonics.
Hawks sucking for basically a decade, Mike Woodson being the coach of the Hawks, Joe Johnson playing like he's 5'11, Josh Smith's Jumper, Zaza pachulia's temper, Mike Bibby's defense, letting J-Chillz go for nothing, not drafting Deron williams. God, I think Im gunna cry...
The Phoenix Suns making the Conference Finals in 2006. They needed a broken playoff bracket (Dallas with 7 more wins, couldn't avoid San Antonio until the Conference Finals just because they won a division), Tim Thomas and Raja Bell lucky-ass shots, and the stolen MVP award. This is the season I was convinced the league was fixed and it's the season I learned to hate the Suns.

Chris Paul, too.
Nah, F Chris Paul. If you come around these parts more you'll see how much I hate him. And F Jannero Pargo wherever he is in russia.
I hate to carry on but this one is pretty bad, not taking D-Will or CP3 and then the following year not taking Brandon Roy, that's painful..
Just a couple of the biggest injustices/disappointments that jump out to me is the 2002 WCF game 6 and also naming a franchise the Thunder.
Seriously? Not that I pay attention to that but I figured he'd at least have 2 under his belt. Not many big men rotate from the weakside as well as he does.
yeah, boo ing hoo
Ben Wallace took his away from him in 2003.
Dirk not being born black and getting some tats.
Gerald Green getting removed from the rotation by Rick Carlisle.
Shawn Bradley never winning MVP
