2. Charles Barkley

From the day he entered the league, “Sir” Charles Barkley was a stud. He could score on anyone and he was always amazing as a rebounder. He originally began as a part of the Philadelphia 76ers where he balled out for years, but he became a huge star when he joined the Phoenix Suns in 1992. In fact, he won the league MVP in 1993.

He averaged 20 points from 1985 to 1996 and he usually had around 11 rebounds a game. Though he led the league in rebounds in 1987, yet put up stud numbers there yearly. Barkley is an 11-time NBA All-Star who made the All-NBA First Team 5 times and the All-NBA Second Team 5 times as well.

He did play in the NBA Finals when he joined the Houston Rockets for a small spell, yet he ended his career ringless. This makes Barkley one of the best players who never won an NBA Championship.

1. Reggie Miller

Reggie Miller is one of the most prolific scorers in league history. Known for his ability to shoot the three better than most, he could also shoot from mid-range and go inside. He averages just over 18 points per game for his career but regularly had season averages of 21, 22, and 24 points per game. Miller also made the All-NBA Third Team 3 times, yet was an NBA All-Star 5 times.

Miller still ranks as #2 all-time in total three-pointers made for a career, but he’s likely to be passed eventually. Despite this, he was a first-ballot Basketball Hall of Famer. Like many on this list, he played for only one team in his career, the Indiana Pacers. He also did appear in the NBA Finals with them, but sadly he ran into the Los Angeles Lakers and didn’t get a ring. Now he’s one of the greatest players who never won an NBA Championship.
