The college thread got me thinking about all the great teams that never won ?

Sacramento kings-Chris Webber, Mike Bibby, Bobby Jackson, peja stoiokovich, Vlade them boys almost beat the Lakers a few times nice finals push just never could get Rick Adelman that one ring

Portland Trailblazers- Damon Stoudemire,
Steve Smith, Scottie ? Pippen, Rasheed Wallace I think shriempf was there center man that team was dragging ? until they took the 3-1 defecit to the Lakers they still almost won game 7

Feel free to add on

    '76-82 Sixers led by Dr.J

    3 losses in the Finals and 2 ECF losses before finally winning it all in '83.

    I'll always have '83 :D



    edit. Just realized that you mean franchises that never won and not particular squads that never won. So i choose Utah.

    I have to say the 2000-01 Milwaukee Bucks team. Not saying that they would have beat the Lakers that year but they had a nice squad. They had a young Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, Tim Thomas, and Sam Cassell.

    00-01 Sixers. I really wanted A.I and Larry Brown to win the championship that year after the Hawks not making it, but Kobe and Shaq was too much for them.

    Damn nggas literally listed my 3 favorite non-Jordan teams of my lifetime

    1) Portland- 10 deep. I somewhat Blame Pip for this. Was no longer asked to score. Was no longer asked to be an elite defender. YOU HAD ONE JOB! Be a leader, and he couldnt keep them together in that 4th.

    2) Sacrmento-What other team in history can say they have confirmed proof that at least 1 ref was conspirying against them. Donaghy confirmed it.

    3) Milwaukee- I blame Tim Thomas. He was supposed to be the x factor, 4th guy on a team with casell, Big dog, and Ray. He had sooooo much potential.

    That team wasn't great.

    96-97 Rockets. Made it to the WCF only to get soul clapped by John Stockton in game 6.

    Are we talking about never ever or never with a certain squad? if we are talking never with a certain squad again I have to mention the '76-82 Sixers led by Dr.J.

    3 losses in the Finals and 2 ECF losses.

    Some of the teams listed had a good year or didn't even make their conference finals.

    The late 90's pacers and the Malice era Pacers

    ^^^^^^^ 2005 Pacers would have had a major chance to win the ship if Steve Jack and Artest wouldn't have went in the stands in Detroit.

    Dont agree with the 00-01 Bucks mention. A hobbled AI took em out practically by himself
