Grant Hill could have been amazing if it wasn't for those injuries.
Btw, Elgin Baylor got a ring in 1972. He played 9 games, didn't want Coach Sharman to bench him for McMillian (a guy with his career, obviously hurt him deep down) so he retired.
Then rode the bench for the rest of the season (cruel twist of fate with the Lakers winning 33 straight, going 69-13, and got LA their first title; 6th for the franchise). He was still part of the roster, got his ring, and a small share of the playoff money. Granted, he didn't compete or get any credit for it (Adam Morrison), he still has one. Just a minor technicality tho, if u don't wanna count it, that's fine.

Gary Payton won a ring with the Heat.

You say Elgin Baylor won a Championship ? well that does not seem to be the case according to NBA.com

I had Alonzo Mourning on my original list and removed him because I forgot he was on that Heat team. I guess I forgot the Glove too.
"Reggie Miller Patrick Ewing Steve Nash Dirk Nowitzki Jason Kidd Allen Iverson Gary Payton Chris WebberGrant Hill Kevin Johnson Dominique Wilkins Chris Mullin "
of this list I only agree with Iverson. all of those other guys are just really good or simply good players.
I've seen that page before, it's pretty outdated and I'm sticking with my source (Chick Hearn).
Baylor got playoff shares, there's an old storage cassette tape which depicts him celebrating after they won the championship, he could have came back from retirement but the Lakers were on the biggest winning streak in history and he didn't want to disrupt chemistry (he was told that if he stayed on the sidelines, he'd still get his ring), and bare in mind that this was all before the internet-era and NBA.com isn't 100% accurate.

Every Source I Have Ever Seen Says Elgin Baylor Retired and Never Won A Championship... and They Are Right... Even If Chick is Correct, Elgin Was Given A Championship After The Lakers Won in 1972 but Baylor Had Won No Championship With The Team Cause He Was Retired... Being Given a Championship Out of Sympathy and actually Winning a Championship Are Two Different Things...

We'll agree to disagree then. Nash has been All-NBA as many times as Iverson and is one of the best point guards in history. The rest of them also have many All-NBA team credits on their resumes.
