Ranking the 5 Best Players to never play in the NBA Finals

#3 Chris Webber

Chris Webber too has never won the NBA title

Chris Webber is another player who has had a lot of "what-if" moments in his career. Drafted #1 in the 1994 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic, he was traded almost immediately to the Golden State Warriors for Penny Hardaway and 3 future first round picks.

He established himself as a star on the Golden State Warriors and was then traded to the Washington Wizards/Bulltets, where he continued on his path to stardom. In 1997, he led the Bullets to the playoffs for the first time in 9 years but lost out to the Chicago Bulls.

He joined the Sacramento Kings in 1998 and that began the best part of his career. Kings became one of the best franchises in the league and Webber established himself as one of the best power forwards in the NBA.

Webber's best season was in 2000-01, where he averaged a superb 27.1 points, 11.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists. In the following season, he led the Kings to a league best record of 61-21. They faced the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals but a controversial Game 7 in overtime led to heartbreak for Webber as the Lakers triumphed.

Injuries in the next few seasons hampered Webber's chances to push for another chance at the NBA Finals and his career came to an end with unremarkable stints at the Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons and the Golden State Warriors. We can never tell, just as with Grant Hill, how his career could have panned out if the series against the Lakers had gone differently.
