Ranking the Top 10 NBA Players who never won a championship ring...
10. Carmelo Anthony
- 10x All-Star
- 2x All-NBA Second Team
- 2013 Scoring Champion
Carmelo is one of the smoothest scoring wings the NBA has ever seen. His career 22.5 points per game, including a 2013 scoring title (28.7 PPG), point to his midrange and isolation mastery.
Anthony also won more than people give him credit for. He led Denver and New York to playoff runs, reaching the 2009 Western Conference Finals (not to mention Melo's legendary run in college leading Syracuse to a national title as a freshman).
Despite defensive critiques, Anthony’s offensive impact reshaped modern scoring.
Even without a ring, his legacy as a Knicks icon and offensive force endures.
Here's what Miami Heat exec and legendary coach Pat Riley once said about Anthony (per New York Post):
"He's one of the great players, ever. Really. A tough guard. Can shoot. Good size. Athletic. And carried a franchise in Denver for a long time, went to New York. Always a tough cover so you had to game plan for him every night. And had a great career."
But who ranks ahead of Melo on the list of the greatest NBA players without a ring? Find out below.
