    I'll probably say Iverson. He has accomplished the most. MVP, numerous scoring titles, led his team to the finals.

    But KG won two MVP's, and didn't have a Dikembe Mutombo in his supporting cast. I think it's KG, who did make it to the Western Finals. They lost to the Western Powerhouse Los Angeles Lakers before the Finals, when Philadelphia didn't have to beat any powerhouse teams in 2001. Just Milwaukee and Toronto.

    he didn't have a mutombo? who cares? Mutumbo was on the decline, and that team didn't have sh*t for talent. KG had Sam Cassell, Latrell Sprewell to help him out.

Like Dogma said his supporting cast was crap while KG atleast had two good second options on his side. Plus AI still has been in the playoffs more than KG anyways. He holds more records and tons of scoring titles. He's third all time in career ppg and 2nd all time in playoff ppg. Plus my personal favorite the only player other than the Big O to have more than one season averaging 30+ ppg and 7+ apg something even MJ never did more than once. I'm gonna go w/ AI.

    I dont think you can count Lebron. I'd say Kevin Garnett, with TMac and AI coming in 2nd. Maybe you could throw Jason Kidd in there too..

    Kevin GarnettAllen IversonJason KiddTracy McGradyPaul PierceDirkSteve Nash^^^ All deserve one.LeBron doesn't count for a list like this yet. I mean he's only 21 and he has lightyears ahead of him, I chose to put the veterans on my list.

    Oh, I'm also adding Ray Allen. He's a world class person, great leader, one of the sickest shooters I have ever seen, and has been a star basically the whole time he's been in the NBA. I love Ray Allen, and he's SO underrated.

    How about Elton Brand? He hadnt even made the playoffs before last season. He is one of the most consistent players in the NBA. He jolted his scoring up a notch last year too.

    All of the guys mentioned aboveI would add Mike Bibby on there too. I love watching him play, he was running that amazing Kings team in the early 2000's which could have probably won a title if it weren't for the Lakers dynasty during that same time period.

    Don't forget about Shawn Marion, Vince Carter, Chris Webber, Grant Hill, and Jermaine O'Neal.

    Well, best player right now that doesn't have a ring is LeBron. Best player over career that doesn't have a title and deserves on is either AI or KG.

    The best "current" player to never win a title is Paul Pierce. He just had a career year in every category. Allen Iverson is probably the best player to never win one over the course of his career, but not "currently".

    You honestly think Pierce is better than LeBron?

    You think Pierce is better then KG and Jason Kidd in his career? Heck, even Allen Iverson?You've got to be out of your mind. Pierce is a candidate, but he is not #1.
