Cobb Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) With LeBron obviously winning one last night, ESPN First Take brought up this topic and I thought it was pretty interesting. Skip Bayless picked Philip Rivers, while Stephen A. Smith and John Salley chose Michael Vick. I personally would love to see Michael Vick win one, and he definitely has the pieces to do it. Who do you guys think is the best current athlete without a championship? Edited June 22, 2012 by Cobb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Its tough to judge baseball players individually with rings because there's so many other people they have to rely on. All time I'd probably say Barry Sanders or Karl Malone. Current athlete's I'd go with Vick, Durant, CP3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfish Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I think Durant has to take that title now. Or Mike Trout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunkinDerozan Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I would have said Ovechkin a season ago. Now its probably Durant, Philip Rivers, Stamkos. Durant and Stamkos I would really count though because they're so young. I think the question should be best current athlete who has played 7 or 8+ seasons without a championship.

Lkr Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Is Randy Moss still active? Ed Reed is also missing a ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Is Randy Moss still active? Ed Reed is also missing a ring Yeh the Niners signed him, and word is that he's in really good physical condition. I guess I don't understand this question though. How is Nash "the best" current athlete? He's not even a top 5 pg anymore. He's deserving of a championship, but I could name countless number of better players ahead of him.

If it means best career of an active player, then it is easily Nash. Don't forget that Nash is still probably a top 5 point guard, he put up similar numbers to his MVP years this year, didn't he?

I would take Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo, Derrick Rose, and Russell Westbrook over him age aside. At this point in his career he doesn't get the major minutes and doesn't have the multiple layers in his game as the other guys do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most pg's today are athletic and score first. Outside of Rondo and probably CP3, what elite pg plays the position traditionally? Plus Westbrook is still young. He has the playmaking ability in him as the postseason proved he just needs to play smarter at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
