#3 Kevin Garnett
Kevin Garnett started his NBA career while playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves and reached 8 playoffs with them. In his career-best postseason performance, Garnett averaged 24 points and 18.7 rebounds. That season, at 2001-02, he maintained a 50% three-pointers made.
Garnett was known as one of the greatest shooters ever in the NBA. The 6' 11" power forward could knock down jump shots from any position and still dominate the paint. "Whoever controls the rebounds controls the game" was one of the most memorable lines from the 90s anime Slam Dunk. Kevin Garnett was the personification of this line.
He played his NBA Championship-winning run alongside his Boston Celtics teammates Paul Peirce, Rajon Rondo, and Ray Allen. He averaged 20.4 points and 10.5 rebounds in that playoffs.
#2 Jerry West
Jerry West is on the list of greatest scorers and players of all time and he has the numbers to prove that. He averaged an unbelievable 27 points, 6.7 assists, and 5.8 rebounds over the span of his 14-year-long career. A great ball handler and shooter, Jerry West was called Mr. Clutch for being the most reliable player on the court at crucial moments. His incredible focus and will to win made him the legend he was.
The LA Lakers legend took his team to the NBA Finals nine times and is rumoured to have scored a quadruple double in his career. During West's NBA days, blocks were not an official statistic, but he is rumoured to have scored 44 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists, 10 blocks and all that while standing only at 6' 3".
Those numbers should be reason enough to understand why Jerry West ranks second on this list. Another interesting fact about Jerry West is that the NBA Logo is allegedly his silhouette. Mr. Clutch won his only championship ring in 1972, when he averaged 22.9 points and 8.9 assists in the playoffs.
#1 Oscar Robertson
"The Big O," a 6' 5" guard who grew up in poverty in the city of Charlotte, Tennessee, is the No. 1 NBA player to have won exactly one ring. Oscar Robertson played for the Cincinnati Royals and Milwaukee Bucks in his career and averaged 25.7 points and 9.5 assists.
He was the only player before Russell Westbrook to have averaged a triple double over the duration of a season. He averaged an unbelievable 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 11.4 assists. It is safe to say that Oscar was the perfect example of a complete basketball player.
He was good at dominating under the rim, scoring lethal jumpshots, and driving-in to score quick layups. Another one of his lesser acknowledged abilities was rebounding. He would regularly compete with big men and snatch rebound after rebound, helping his team constantly attack the opponents.
Oscar won his only NBA Championship ring in 1971 with the Milwaukee Bucks.
