Who is the best basketball player to NEVER play in the NBA?

Question

Sure, we all know the best players in NBA history, but who is the best player that no one has ever heard of?

Answer 1

Oscarf Schmidt is surely one. Given his size and shooting stroke he should always be a potent threat.

Another great shooter who has never been playing in NBA is the recently-retired Dejan Bodiroga, probably the best Serbian shooter over the last 20 years (and I just know that he is a close relative of Drazen Petrovic - see Wikipedia link). An undisputed leader, he possesses more deadly shooting than Peja - his mid-range shooting is smooth, plus all-around skills that he could be employed in roles other than SG/SF.

Answer 2

the professor

Answer 3

Pee Wee Kirkland, by far......he got drafted by the Bulls, but turned the money down, cause he was making more money selling dope..........here is more on him, http://hoopedia.nba.com/index.php/Pee_We...

Answer 9

Len Bias- people said he was better then MJ while in college. He was taller, more muscular, athletic and was a better shooter at that time.

Answer 10

Oscar Schmidt.

Answer 11

Hot Sauce

Answer 12

It might be Len Bias. It was a shame that he died, not only because he could have been the one to continue the legacy of Celtics pride, but because he was so young and so talented. It was a waste, his death. Maybe he just wasn't destined for it.

There have been others, anyway. Not only those playing in the AND1 tour or other leagues inside the US. There are many foreign players who may have made an impact in the NBA if given the chance.

In the Philippines, there are some players who may have made an impact in the NBA. Among them are Samboy Lim, whom people call the Skywalker (you can guess why). There was also Alvin Patrimonio, the Captain, and arguably the best basketball player ever in the Philippines, Robert Jaworski. Look them up.
