The US media has revealed 12 players who may not have won the championship in their current career. Who is the most regretful?

Who will win the championship in the 2024-25 season? The East and West have arrived at the finals, and everyone is curious about which players will end their championship drought. After Westbrook's Nuggets were eliminated, it may really lead to his retirement without a championship in his career. However, Timberwolves veteran Conley has the chance to end the championship drought, and there are still many players who have no championships in the NBA at present.

For this reason, Eddie Bitar, the author of the US media "Fadeaway World", posted 12 active NBA stars who may not have a career championship. Let's see who they are?

1.Embid

If Embiid has no championship in his career, almost no one will feel a pity, mainly because he has been on the road of injury so far in his career. In the 2024-25 season, the team won Paul George as a helper. As a result, they only played 19 games in the regular season and were directly reimbursed for the season, with an average of 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, which is also the worst performance in recent seasons. He is 31 years old and the team reportedly wants to trade him out or let him retire with medical treatment.

2. James Harden

The Clippers, whom James Harden plays for, are the team's starting point guard. In this year's playoff game, the Clippers lost to the Denver Nuggets and were unfortunately eliminated. In the 2024-25 season, he averaged 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game. Unfortunately, his poor performance in the first round tiebreak battle, resulting in the team missing the Western Conference semi-finals this season. James Harden is already 35 years old and has a NBA career of 2-3 seasons at most. If you want to win the championship, you probably have to join a more top team.

3. Westbrook

Westbrook averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists this season. There is a lot of controversy in his position in the Nuggets. We are all curious whether the Denver Nuggets have been eliminated and will they abandon Westbrook in the offseason. In the playoffs, Westbrook averaged 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. He had some unreasonable three-point shooting and some embarrassing fast break layup missed. But his attitude and enthusiasm can still help the team. But don't forget that he is 36 years old.

4. Chris Paul

Chris Paul has not decided whether to retire or continue to compete in the NBA. Chris Paul, 40, still has the ability, but he is prone to injury and slow physical recovery, and his explosive power, speed and defense are much worse than before. In the 2024-25 season, averaging 8.8 points and 7.4 assists. However, the Spurs had previously provided a contract renewal of about $8 million a year, and Chris Paul directly refused. He has the potential to become one of the greatest uncrowned kings in NBA history.

5. Paul George

76ers are really a big complaint. The Clippers are too lazy to trade Paul George. They actually provided Paul George with a maximum salary of $200 million for 4 years. As a result, in the 2024-25 season, Paul George averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. Paul George is already 35 years old and his focus is no longer on the NBA. He wants to win the championship unless Embiid remains healthy, and the team's lineup will have big reinforcement moves. However, there is also a possibility, that is, the Sixers will get rid of his big contract in the offseason.

6. Lillard

After Lillard joined the Bucks, he performed worse. It would be better to stay at the Trail Blazers. I thought I could partner with Antetokounmpo in the Bucks and won my first championship in my career, but in the playoffs, the team was eliminated in the first round due to an Achilles tendon injury. In the 2024-25 season, Lillard averaged 24.9 points and 7.1 assists per game. Lillard is 34 years old and has an Achilles tendon injury. Now Antetokounmpo has been revealed to be likely to leave the team. It is almost impossible to end his career as the title of Uncrowned King.

7. Devin Booker

Where will Devin Booker go next season? The Phoenix Suns cannot send Bradley Bill away, and Kevin Durant is likely to be sent away by trade. Devin Booker, 28, averaged 25.6 points and 7.1 assists in the 2024-25 season. If he wants to win the championship, the team probably has to send away Bradley Bill and Kevin Durant and rebuild the team around him to have a chance to win the championship. Otherwise, he would have to leave the Suns to have the chance to return to the NBA Finals and compete for the championship.

8. Donovan Mitchell

Who would have thought that the Cleveland Cavaliers, the first in the Eastern Conference in the 2024-25 season, ended in the second round of the playoffs and lost to the Indiana Pacers. When LeBron James led the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Pacers, he never lost to the opponent. Donovan Mitchell averaged 24.0 points per game in the 2024-25 season, and sacrificed a lot on the offensive end, but still couldn't help the team get better. He is only 28 years old. In recent years, he has been a regular playoff player, both in the Cavaliers and the Jazz, but he still cannot succeed in the playoffs. Perhaps, the Cavaliers can consider welcoming LeBron James back in the offseason and leading Donovan Mitchell to his first career championship.

9.Jamorant

Jamorant suffered some injuries in both the regular season and the playoffs. For the Memphis Grizzlies, they have begun to show doubts about Jamorant's future career. They cannot believe that Jamorant, who has been plagued by injuries for many years, can help them succeed in the near future. In the 2024-25 season, Jamorant averaged 23.2 points and 7.3 assists per game. He is only 25 years old. As far as he is frequently troubled by injuries, maybe the Grizzlies can really consider a deal to send him away.

10. After the Sacramento Kings missed the playoffs, there were many trading rumors about the Kings trading DeRozan. DeRozan averaged 22.2 points per game in the 2024-25 season. Recently, LeBron and James mentioned scoring in mid-range shots, which is still the most effective offensive scoring weapon in the league, which is a bit hinting at the Lakers' trade to win DeRozan. DeRozan, who is almost 36 years old, will never win the championship if he continues to stay with the Kings.

11.Zakraven

Zakraven's condition has recovered a lot after being traded by the Bulls to the King. In the 2024-25 season, averaged 23.3 points per game. In fact, his defensive weaknesses have always been obvious, and his personal ability to lead the team is average, and as a leader, he is not infectious. Zach Laven, 30, is at the peak of his personal career. If you want to win the championship, you may have to leave the Kings and join another top team. But almost no strong team is willing to accept his big contract.

12. Is Trae Young

Is Trae Young one of the most overrated players in the current service? As a point guard, he has good passing and scoring skills, but his physical weakness is too obvious and he is easily beaten by name on the defensive end. In the 2024-25 season, he averaged 24.2 points and 11.6 assists per game. Although he is only 26 years old and still has great potential and time to compete for the championship, his personal abilities are not favored. Unless the Hawks find him a top helper, or he is traded to a playoff team.
