Best player to never make the Finals

[SouBeachTalents]

I don't feel like getting into semantics, but no, T-Mac in 2013 for example wouldn't qualify. I'm referring to players who never got even marginal playing time in the Finals

[Real14]

Melo.

[Legends66NBA7]

George Gervin.

Maybe Steve Nash. IDK this is a tough one. Oscar never made the finals while he was still in his prime.

No, Prime Nash was nice but not better than Prime Melo.

Nah, Oscar was still a great 2nd option. He counts.

George Gervin, Dominique Wilkins, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Pete Maravich, and Chris Mullin are all good candidates.

[Fire Colangelo]

Surprised nobody mentioned Chris Paul.

[Fire Colangelo]

Melo.

Who would you say was better, Melo or Bernard King?

Has to be the Iceman, my bias pick is Pistol Pete.

[Smook A.]

Surprised nobody mentioned Chris Paul.
Forgot him :lol

Alright I added him to my list

Melo with a slight edge.

Arguably still a top 5 player in the league.

He orchestrated the best offense in the league. Bucks surged like 8 SRS from the previous year without Oscar - not that Oscar was worth 8 SRS, but he was a big part of it - and he was a great leader on both ends of the floor. Even on defense he was important as a pseudo on-court-coach.

Chris Webber deserves a mention.
