NBA superstars who failed to win a Championship

As we approach the final round before the NBA Finals, some of the NBA's shining stars have again failed to take their team to glory.

Throughout history, some of the NBA's Stella players failed to win a championship, despite all the personal accolades they had won.

Here are the greatest players in NBA history not to win a championship in their years as players!

Two-time regular season MVP Steve Nash was one of the premiere players in the league during the 2000s and made the Phoenix Suns genuine title favorites in his years in Arizona.

Nash is the only player on this list who failed to make it to the NBA Finals throughout his career. He joined up with Kobe Bryant in his final years but only managed to make it to the opening round of the playoffs.

Karl Malone is the third top scorer in NBA history but is one of the marque players Michael Jordan stopped from winning a championship in the 1990s.

Malone lost two NBA Finals to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls whilst playing for the Utah Jazz. In the twilight of his career, he joined Kobe and Shaq in LA but ultimately lost with them in the 2004 finals to Detroit.

John Stockton leads the league in steals and assists in all of NBA history, but like Malone, he failed to get past Michael Jordan and The Bulls, playing for Utah.

Stockton earned multiple All-NBA and All-Defence selections, but his masterful defensive capabilities were not enough in his career to win a championship.

Allen Iverson is one of the most electric offensive players the league has ever seen, and at his height, probably, the most intimidating player in NBA history.

Iverson never had a squad that could compete in winning a title. The closest he came was in 2001 after securing his only MVP, meeting Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal in the finals and losing in five games.

'The round mound of rebound' Charles Barkley won everything except a ring in his basketball career, securing Olympic golds, an MVP, and multiple All-NBA and All-Star selections.

The closest he came was in 1993, the season he won MVP, losing to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls when he played for the Phoenix Suns.

Hall of Famer Reggie Miller is one of the NBA's star-studded clutch-time shooters, scoring big time buckets up until his retirement in 2005.

After numerous playoff runs in his time with the Indiana Pacers, Miller finally made it to the finals in 2000, but like Iverson, he was stopped by Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal.

Los Angeles Lakers' all-time great Elgin Baylor made the NBA Finals more than most in his career, reaching the championship series eight times.

Baylor's prime came amid Bill Russell and the Boston Celtic's surge to NBA domination, resulting in the NBA legend never winning a ring.
