Players Who Retired Ringless And Had Their Team Win A Ring Directly After?

[UpAndComing]

Going old school with it but Elgin Baylor. Made the Finals 8 times with the Lakers and lost every single time, he then retired 9 games into the 1971-72 season because of injuries. The Lakers proceeded to go on the longest winning streak in NBA history and won the title.

They ended up giving him a ring for that year out of sympathy

For years I think, why couldn't the nikka just come out of retirement once he saw that 33 game win streak? Who cares, just play 5 min a game if you that injured

Don mattingley

Eddie Jones got traded in 1999 from the Lakers and they won 3 straight

Eddie Jones got traded in 2005 from Miami,
And they won it the next year

He must be at that shyt every night.

The Colts signing Vinatieri and letting Vanderjagt go ,then giving a ring to Edgerrin and not Vanderhagt was classic

Terry Glenn causing a disruption on team and rest was history

How bout Mark Jackson gettin fired with one year left on his contract, only for Warriors to win it that year, meanwhile you have to sit there during their playoff run calling games

True but the Raiders are about to come up on one and they owed him one since he came back

Mike Mussina played 8 seasons with the Yankees. They won a ring the year before they acquired him AND the year after he retired.
