In the history of the NBA, there are many players who are known for their outstanding personal abilities and dominance. However, it is regrettable that there are some players who, despite their talent, have failed to win the championship. These players may be due to various reasons, such as injuries, poor quality of teammates or poor luck, but they are still admired and remembered by the majority of fans.
One person might think of Cameron Anthony. He is one of the best scorers in NBA history and has always attracted attention for his excellent scoring ability and courageous performance at the basket. However, Anthony failed to win the championship for his team. This is not because his skills are not good enough, but because he has failed to work with the right teammates and the team has been in a long-term rebuilding state.
Erwin "Magic" Johnson is also a legendary player who has not won a championship. As the soul figure of the Lakers, Johnson led the team to the finals many times, but failed to win again after 1980 and 1991. In 1991, Johnson announced that he had AIDS, making it impossible for him to continue playing for the team. Still, he is considered one of the greatest point guards in NBA history.
In addition, Carl Malone is also a representative of a player without a crown. Malone partnered with Michael Jordan during the Chicago Bulls, and the two formed the feared "power duo." However, after many fierce confrontations with the Detroit Pistons and Stockton-led Utah Jazz, Malone never failed to win the championship. Regrettably, in the final year of his career, Ma Long joined the Lakers to pursue the championship, but he still couldn't achieve this goal. After retiring, he became one of the most outstanding players without a crown in NBA history.
We cannot forget that according to the statistics of the 2019-2020 season, Anthony Davis and Cameron Reddy are still the players in the NBA who have failed to win the championship. As a core player of the Lakers, Davis led the team to the championship in the 2019-2020 season, but before that, he played for a long time for the Udiger Hawks, who were unable to compete for the championship. Red Di left the Armored X team and played for teams such as the Detroit Pistons, but failed to win the championship for himself.
There are many outstanding players in the NBA who fail to win the championship. This is not only a matter of their personal abilities, but also related to various uncontrollable factors. However, the contributions and honors of these players still deserve our praise and remembrance.
