| Hint | Answer | % Correct |
|---|---|---|
| He is still ringless after getting his trade vetoed, his team's owner being racist, numerous injuries, being traded again, getting injured again, making a finals, then blowing a 2-0 lead. | Chris Paul | 79%
|
| After an incredible regular season and a fantastic playoff run, this player and his team are known for missing 27 threes in a row in game 7 of the conference finals. | James Harden | 79%
|
| His signature moves include foul baiting, free throws, crying in the hallway, lying to the Cameroonian national team, and the second round playoff exit. He deserved his MVP though. | Joel Embiid | 79%
|
| Has not had a good playoff since 2014 despite his self-imposed nickname. His podcast sure doesn't help either. | Paul George | 79%
|
| Statistically, this is the best player in the NBA. Unfortunately, Bill Russell and the Celtics denied his legacy as the most dominant force to grace an NBA court. | Wilt Chamberlain | 79%
|
| Leading a team to its first championship was an incredible achievement. However, he has played in less than 250 games since then (out of 492). His unavailability lands him on this list. | Kawhi Leonard | 74%
|
| While he is one of my favorite players, he struggles without the ball in his hand. His eye-popping stats come at the cost of ridiculous turnover numbers. | Russell Westbrook | 62%
|
| Get as mad as you want, but one finals appearance and some cultural changes does not make him a top 20 player of all time. Still really really good, but be for real. | Allen Iverson | 50%
|
| Easily the smoothest and one of the most talented players in NBA history. His weak mindset and controversial career decisions hold him back from a true GOAT case, though. | Kevin Durant | 47%

|
| While a transcendent scorer, his style of play was not conducive to winning in the regular season or playoffs, with one conference finals appearance in an 18 year career | Carmelo Anthony | 44%
|
| After winning one championship, this coach was riding high. Several years later, he is now known for his playoff meltdowns with multiple teams. | Doc Rivers | 44%
|
| Despite his Finals appearances, this man's production fell off historically when he reached the playoffs. Also the all-time leader in technical fouls. And that's not the worst thing he did... | Karl Malone | 41%
|
| The most well payed non-all-star in NBA history. His huge contract in 2019 stopped his team from being able to re-sign another star. His mediocre performances cement his spot here. | Tobias Harris | 18%
|
| Oh man it hurts to have him here, but he never even made a conference finals. He was well deserving of his nickname, however, as almost all of his plays were incredible. | Dominique Wilkins | 15%
