Which of these generation's superstars wont get a ring? 

Post#1 » by sdeezy » Mon Aug 11, 2008 11:29 pm

Every generation, there are those great players that go their entire career without winning a championship as the # 1 option due to a variety of reasons: Bad management, poor supporting casts, getting 'ring-checked' by other transcendent players (Malone/Stockton-Jordan) etc. If you had to pick out one of these guys to enter the greatest-players-never-to-win-it-all HOF, which one would it be and for what reason?

Melo and Bosh, most likely. This is too hard to predict though.

I don't see LeBron winning one till later on in his career. I see Bosh as a Kevin Garnett player (besides the skillset) Garnett was a elite big man who never won anything till he was traded Bosh may go down as the same thing. In 2010 we may find out who has the last laugh. The Raps will have loads of cap space and could be looking at acquiring somebody to play with Bosh to get them into elite status. Insert one of Wade, Miller, Kaman (I think he's a FA then), Joe Johnson or somebody like that and Bosh may get his

Deron Williams won't get one if he plays for the Jazz for the rest of his career.

I think LeBron, Paul and Howard will all win rings, they are elite. The other 3 are a step below, albiet still very good players.

You can build a championship team around any of these players IMO.

I agree, but Anthony is the only player who I feel has absolutely no chance. Not as long as he is a Nugget.
