We are going to put the best NBA stars to never win a championship into a tier list. All the ringless superstars from over the years, or most of them, obviously not all of them. I have 19 of them right here that I think kind of tell the story of especially the modern NBA, our era. Let's start off with one of the most infamous players that obviously belongs on this list. James Hardin, where do you want to go with him on here? He could fall into a lot of these categories.

I think you got to consider him as a ringless goat. Oh, my God, no. He's definitely not, you're not that guy. That's ridiculous. He literally turned into the guy where he choked every single year and you look at him and you're like, you're not that guy. Maybe you can go play off Rod if you want to say he loses because of his own fault every time.

It's very much on him i'm not giving james we're not giving james hard and excuses and out here okay so it's either playoff fraud because you think he's never going to succeed the playoffs we're not giving him excuses i was going to say if man is possible if you want to say if you didn't have to play the greatest team of all time, you would have won in 2018, that's fair.

He did just play the best team ever assembled.

Or we can go play off rod and say, you've had a lot of opportunities and he choked every time. He lost to them in 15 before they were the greatest team ever assembled. I don't know, man. He wasn't really like championship ready though at that time.

People were arguing that it was him or Steph for MVP.

And there was a game five closer where he literally... the championship ready though at that time. People were arguing that it was him or step for MVP.

And there was a game five closer where he literally set set a playoff record for

turnovers in an elimination game, 13 turnovers.

So am I hearing playoff rod?

No, we can't do playoff rod.

Why?

If there was ever, I mean, these are all great players, obviously.

So it's not, if there's ever somebody that is known for being a great player that fails in the playoffs over and over again, it probably would be James Hardin. I'm looking at these other tiers and I'm like, other than ringless goat, he doesn't fit any of the other than any of the other than literally one season. But that was his year to win. So like that is a, that's a realistic if.

But there's more years he failed and went outside. Exactly. He still went outside in his later years. I think playoff rod is fine. He did. They should have beat the Nuggets last year. They went to game seven and don't look up his staff. You'll fucking throw up. You're my goal in my hour,

Hardin.

Damn.

Carmelo Anthony.

You're not that guy, pal. up a staff you'll fucking throw up you're your you're my go in my hour hardin damn carmelo anthony

you're not that guy pal you should have never been that guy in the first place simple as that

can't say he's a playoff rod because yeah you know is that you're not that guy pal is he just like

not good enough to be the number one on a championship team? I think so
