Answer 1

Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame = HOF

Legendary NBA players who never won a NBA ring in their careers by playing for a NBA championship team in the NBA Finals:

1) Elgin Baylor (14 years, HOF)
2) Karl Malone (19 years, retired)
3) Charles Barkley (16 years, HOF)
4) Allen Iverson (11 years, still active)
5) George Yardley (7 years, HOF)
6) Kevin Garnett (12 years, still active)
7) Dominique Wilkins (15 years, HOF)
8) George Gervin (14 years, HOF)
9) Harry Gallatin (10 years, HOF)
10) Patrick Ewing (17 years, retired)
11) Vince Carter (9 years, still active)
12) John Stockton (19 years, retired)
13) Lenny Wilkens (15 years as a player, HOF)
14) Jason Kidd (14 years, still active)
15) Tracy McGrady (10 years, still active)
16) Adrian Dantley (15 years, 2 NBA scoring titles, retired)
17) Pete Maravich (10 years, HOF)
18) Bob Lanier (14 years, HOF)
19) Dave Bing (12 years, HOF)
20) Paul Pierce (9 years, still active)
21) Alex English (15 years, HOF)
22) Grant Hill (12 years, still active)
23) Chris Webber (14 years, still active)
24) Ray Allen (11 years, still active)
25) Tim Hardaway (13 years, retired)
26) Dick McGuire (11 years, HOF)
27) Nate Thurmond (14 years, HOF)


Malone, Barkley, Iverson, Wilkins, Ewing, Stockton, Hill, Webber, and Hardaway all ran into the prime of Michael Jordan's Bulls at some point in their playoff careers at least once.

Answer 2

John Stockton and Karl Malone have the best chances because they made it to the finals twice just to lose the Bulls. Next up would probably be Patrick Ewing since he did face the Bulls pretty often playing in the East Conference playoffs. Charles Barkley only made it the finals once so I wouldn't say he would have won a ring had Jordan's Bulls not have been there to stop him but Stockton and Malone were definitely robbed of their potential rings because they did have a more well-rounded team.

Answer 3

Patrick Ewing

Answer 4

Charles Barkley!

Answer 5

Karl Malone hands down!

- He holds the records for most free throws attempted and made, he is first all-time in defensive rebounds, as well as being second all-time on the NBA career scoring list, behind only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
- A two-time Olympic Gold medalist.
- NBA Most Valuable Player awardee twice.
- One of NBA's 50 Greatest Players.
- Voted to 11 All-NBA first teams, two second teams and one third team.
- Voted an All-Star 14 times. MVP of the All-Star game in 1989 and co-MVP in 1993 with Stockton.
- Voted to three NBA All-Defensive teams and one second team.

It's really a shame that he has no ring to go along with those records.
