Notable NBA Players without a title




 

Chris Webber

(1993-2008) 

 Career averages: 20.7 ppg  9.8 rebs  4.2 Ast

If only Webber's Kings had gotten past the Lakers in the controversial 2002 Western Conference finals -- surely Sacramento could have dominated the Nets in the Finals like L.A. did. In fact, Webber played on four 55-win teams with the Kings without a Finals appearance to show for it. Webber's crunch-time shortcomings have led to much debate surrounding his Hall of Fame candidacy.

Reggie Miller

(1987-2005)  Career Averages: 18.2 ppg .471% fg  .395 3p%

    Reggie earned the name "Knick-killer" after a series of clutch performances in the postseason against New York, including a 1995 playoff game when he scored eight points in 8.9 seconds to shock the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Miller played in 144 playoff games over an 18-year career, all with the Pacers. His Indiana teams lost in the Eastern Conference Finals four out of six seasons in the late 1990s before breaking through to the NBA Finals in 1999-2000. But the Lakers' duo of Kobe and Shaq was too much for the Pacers, despite Miller's best efforts, and L.A. took the series in six games. * Miller is the all-time NBA leader in total 3-point field goals made (2,560) and ranks 12th in total points (25,279 7th in free throw percentage (88.8%), 6th in minutes played (47,619) and 7th in games played (1,323).  He is also the all-time leader in three-point field goals made in the playoffs (320).

    Elgin Baylor

    (1958-72) Career Averages: 27.4 ppg  4.3 Asts  13.5 REBS

    The spectacular 6-5 forward averaged 27.4 points and 13.5 rebounds in 14 seasons with the Lakers, who ran up against Bill Russell's Celtics throughout Baylor's tenure. A knee injury ended Baylor's 1970-71 season after two games -- the same season the Lakers ripped off an NBA-record 33 victories and won the championship. <!-- BEGIN rightcol area --><!-- 300x50 Promo -->

    Charles Barkley

    (1984-2000)

    Career Averages: 22.1 ppg 11.7 rebs  .541 fg%

    Sir Charles played on 50-win teams with three franchises (Philadelphia, Phoenix and Houston). The 1992-93 Suns were the best of those teams, as Barkley led them to an NBA-high 62 victories, won the MVP award and made his first and only Finals, where Phoenix lost to the Bulls in an entertaining six-game series

    John Stockton

    (1984-2003) Career Averages: 13.1 ppg  10.5 Asts  2.2 Stls

    Like pick-and-roll partner Karl Malone, Stockton piled up individual accolades (all-time leader in assists and steals, 10 All-Star appearances) and spearheaded Utah's sustained run of excellence but couldn't surmount Michael Jordan's Bulls in the Finals. <!-- BEGIN rightcol area --><!-- 300x50 Promo -->

    * NBA's all time leader in assists

    Pete Maravich

    (1970-80)

    Maravich never played on a serious contender in the prime of a career in which he averaged 24.2 points over 10 seasons. In his final season, he played limited minutes for the Celtics, who went 61-21 before losing to the 76ers in the Eastern Conference finals. <!-- BEGIN rightcol area --><!-- 300x50 Promo -->
