mcdyess...jk, but he still is good. i'd have to say malone...he should have had a ring though when he played the pistons in 04. i mean we kicked their ass and it should have been the other way around.

In your opinion which one is the best?
To me it's between Malone, Baylor and Iceman

Sucks to be Baylor. Retired because of knee injuries, and his team goes on to win the le the same year. Talk about bad luck.
yeah that would be awful. "cruel twist of fate" no other words to describe it.
Definitely Malone.
Though Brand could take over that unheralded spot by the end of his career.
I'd also put Reggie Miller as a runner up in the mix too.
Lot of good players.
Baylor, Iceman.
KG is way better then Karl Malone. Malone had his chances and fumbled the ball away to MJ. Ditto Reggie Miller, he doesnt even belong. Got schooled by 23 year old Kobe in the Finals. Weak.
I don't know why they didn't have him or Payton.
No particular order...
Karl Malone
Elgin Baylor
Reggie Miller
Iceman Gervin
Charles Barkley
Barkley is sort of a sentimental choice. I've always liked that big goof.
There are a LOT of ABA people that deserve to be in the HOF, since it is the "basketball" HOF, not the "NBA" HOF. The HOF has not been kind to the ABA, considering the number of college players and coaches included. Dr. J. is the only player in the HOF to spend significant time in the ABA. I don't think Barry Sr. is in the HOF, but we would be another if that is the case.
There's quite a few I may be leaving out, because I'm not sure if they're in the HOF or not.
Dominique Wilkins is a funny case. I'm not sure he deserves to be in the HOF. At any rate, I don't put him in the same class as those above.
Charles Barkley.
By the way, a similar thing happened to Pete Maravich that happened to Elgin. Maravich frustrated at the end of his career in Boston retires, the following year Larry Bird takes the Celtics to a championship.
Pete Maravich should be somewhere down that list as well.
Reggie Miller
Grant Hill--Just because I like him
Allen Iverson
Chuck Barkley
Reggie Miller
John Stockton
Karl Malone

I'm sorry, but I don't think Reggie Miller is even in the top 25 NBA players never to win a ring.
Barkley
I don't know what it is but barkley was better than malone!
It's not about HOF and Rick barry is in HOF.
Talking about somebody who is not. Take a look at Artis Gilmore.

Sure Miller and Payton are the great excamples (additions) to that list. But if you put Miller you've got more ppl coming with him.
i dont think brand deserves to be mention, he chose to stayed on the clippers team even though they were losing and there owner is tighter than ours, plus he wanted his own team, now his team is winnin, but next season they will go back down to earth.
Allen Iverson
That's cuz you're Pistons fan
Sorry. I forgot to add a sentence in the middle like this...
"It seems like an NBA championship is becoming a prerequisite for the HOF for NBA players."
Reggie Miller's credentials:
Leads the NBA in 3-pointers attempted and made; Leads NBA in 3-pointers made in playoffs (Horry is Finals only);12th place total points (25,279); 6th place in games played (1,389); 6th place in minutes played; and 7th place career FT%.
Now who exactly are all the other players without rings that would be "coming with" Reggie?
Yes he is...he was the most prolific shooter in history and was more clutch than 85% of the players to ever play the game
I'd say AI & KG.
Charles Barkley.
NBA Career Points Leaders
1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 38,387
2. Wilt Chamberlain 31,419
3. Karl Malone 31,041
4. Michael Jordan 29,277
5. Moses Malone 27,409
6. Elvin Hayes 27,313
7. Oscar Robertson 26,710
8. Dominique Wilkins 26,668
9. John Havlicek 26,395
10. Hakeem Olajuwon 25,822
11. Alex English 25,613
12. Reggie Miller 25,279
That's more points than Barkley, Gervin (didn't add in ABA numbers, however), and Baylor.
On the above list, only Karl Malone, Dominique Wilkins, Alex English, and Reggie Miller do not have at least one NBA championship. Moses Malone, Hayes, and Robertson only have one. (I had to double-check on Hayes.) No matter how many times I see this list, I'm always a little bit surprised to see Hayes and English on there. For some reason, I keep thinking Russell is on this list, despite the fact that he hasn't been playing for more than two decades and obviously isn't adding to his total!
EDIT: I'm not saying career point totals is an absolute criteria for greatness. However, if anyone honestly thinks that Miller isn't even one of the best 25 NBA players without a ring, I double-dog dare you to name 25 then. I'm starting to think that people who haven't been following basketball until Reggie's declining years don't realize how good he really was in the '90s.

Malone.
Grant Hill for me. The guy is so insanely good, his injuries just killed him. Michael Jordan talent destroyed. What a waste.
