The world unfair. In particular, the NBA can be a cruel mistress. The ultimate goal, an NBA Championship, has passed by so many of the greatest talents to ever play the game. Meanwhile, year after year undeserving coattail riders who would otherwise have unnoticed careers latch onto the glory and snatch a ring (I’m talkin’ ‘bout you, Jared Dudley).
For longtime basketball fans the names roll off your tongue- Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Steve Nash, and Reggie Miller come to mind (basically anyone not in a Bulls uniform throughout a majority of the 90s).
