Which NBA superstar is most likely to win at least ONE ring in their career?

[Versa]

Rank them in order from most likely to least likely to win at least ONE RING at some point in their career.

A. Chris Paul

B. Kevin Durant

C. Carmelo Anthony

D. Dwight Howard

E. Derrick Rose

F. Stephen Curry

And before someone hits me with the for including Stephen Curry, I went back and forth between including him or not and decided to do so at the last minute. I think his stock only goes up from here - as will his stats and reputation.

Factor in best current situation, best situation in the future, overall skill set, and how it meshes with a championship team's DNA.


I will go

1. Kevin Durant
2. Dwight Howard
3. Derrick Rose
4. Chris Paul
5. Stephen Curry
6. Carmelo Anthony

- As long as he's healthy Dwight Howard has the type of game that can compliment any strong wing presence or 3 point presence. I believe it's only a matter of time in Houston.

- Kevin Durant is the best player of the bunch and already got very close. Can they get that Alfred to go with him and Westbrook like Harden did? Martin wasn't the answer...maybe a more offensively deveoped Serge Ibaka is.

- Derrick Rose has the best coach and good pieces around him and Noah is a great Alfred. Not sure of how willing Chicago is to shell out the cash to get him a true Robin though.

- Chris Paul is a great point guard who I believe needs strong pieces around him to truly flourish - more so than a Derrick Rose and a Westbrook who might not be as dynamic of a passer, but have a more disruptive and impactful offensive skillset. I don't know if Blake Griffin is a strong enough piece, but the Clippers have certainly improved a lot in the off season.

- Stephen Curry has the shooting skill, passing ability and handles to be the best player on a championship winning team, but I don't know how good the Warriors will be in the future.


- Carmelo Anthony is a great offensive talent, but lacks the defensive fortitude and overall game to do it without lots of help. The Knicks aren't providing said help at the moment. Hope he does though.

[really]

pointless question, as it all depends on who they will be playing with in the future.

Good list I'd probably flip Paul and Rose, but other than that, ur list is fine. If Howard gets back to Orlando form tho,

 

[Dwight Howard]

D-Rose easily.

Best defensive coach in the league, 2 all-stars in Noah/Deng, rising star Jimmy Butler...its only a matter of time imo

Take into consideration current situation and current skill set if you think factoring in the future is pointless. What does your list look like?

U picked Rose over Durant and urself, are u retarded?

 

[AVXL]

A better question would be who will be the first to win a title among that list. I'd say KD only b/c he & Russy will be the most dynamic team in the West for the foreseeable future & outside of Dwight has actually been to the Finals.

Don't think Curry should be on this list tbh

 

[Dwight Howard]

U picked Rose over Durant and urself, are u retarded?

the difference between Scott Brooks and Thibs is great enough for me to justify thatr...Dwight not winning shyt unless Harden and Parson take drastic leaps. No championship pedigree on that squad and they have losing ass McHale as a coach.

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

Durant best player best 2nd option and best GM of all those teams

 

[feelosofer]

Durant

Durant Howard Rose CP3 Curry and Melo. And i thought about putting Paul in front of Rose because i question the Bull's ability to get another star player to team up with him. But by time KD is about 28 or 29 he will have a ring or two and we will be laughing at the thought of ever doubting him being a champion. It is inevitable that he takes over the league as Bron gets older. I think Dwight may get one t eventually if he gets back to his previous level of play. I could see them winning one in 2014 if things go right with him and Harden and they find more pieces to put around them.

 

[Versa]

I'm surprised more people aren't saying Howard with a nucleus of him, harden and Parsons.

McHale and a shaky PG situation over there got people doubtful?

They both have a greater effect on the game than Rose tho, and both have more reliable 2nd options. But we'll see

Can't rely on Howard in crunch time, and Harden I feel is overrated. I'll eat my words if I'm wrong tho
