    Derrick Rose. He did win an MVP, but he stayed injured so much that he never got the chance to show his true greatness. If he had stayed healthy and been able to play 18 seasons, he would have been a Hall of Fame player easily. He was extremely talented.

    No ring Barkley.

    Barkley was a great player and for an extended time. Not fair to say he didn't achieve greatness because he never won a ring. Many great players (NBA specifically) were unfortunate enough to have their careers coincide with that of a guy named Jordan.

    Oh no denying Barkley as a great player, I just think the ring aspect hangs over him a bit.

    I would say Grant Hill due to injury. Len Bias never made it to the court but I believe he would have been great

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    I would have been great if I was about eight inches taller, no way I could have been stopped.

    He got no rings as punishment for making us watch him swing a golf club.

    Who is the Golf Card Guy?

    So many. Drazen Petrovic is a sad case.
