The worst players on the last 5 NBA championship teams

3. Brian Cardinal (2011 Dallas Mavericks)

Brian Cardinal

He played in all 56 games of the regular season averaging 11 minutes, 2.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 56 games. Coming off the bench, his role was to give either of the key players Dirk Nowitzki or Shawn Marion a rest. His minutes per game average clearly shows him roughly play two minutes a quarter, perfectly fitting the role described above.

In the Playoffs with an expected drop in playing time, his post-season averages too took a beating. He averaged 4.1 minutes, 1.1 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.2 assists.

Over a career spanning 12 years, he has played for 6 teams.
