Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter and Jerome Kersey
Portland Trail Blazers, 1985-1994
You have to feel bad for this team, as they were oh so close to claiming a ring. The core of this team stayed together just as long, if not longer, than anyone on this list, but could never get over that elusive hump.
Porter was every coach’s dream in running the point, while Drexler was the Western Conference’s version of Jordan in his heyday.
Kersey was a banger and finesse player rolled into one. I just knew that if they ever got the chance to take on the Bulls they could come out on top, but my prediction didn’t come true. I still take my hat off to this team for their hard work and dedication over the course of their run.
