Always the bridesmaids: these NBA legends never won a ring

[post_page_title]Nate Thurmond[/post_page_title]
Nate Thurmond may not be a household name, but he’s also not a name to scoff at. Thurmond was a rebounding machine, averaging double digit rebounds from his sophomore season in 1964-65 for a full decade, until 1974-75. At his height, in the late ‘60s, Thurmond was averaging over 20 rebounds and 20 points per game for the Warriors. During his 11 seasons with Golden State (who at the beginning of his career were still San Francisco), the Warriors made the playoffs seven times, including two loses in the finals. The Warriors would go on to win a championship the season after Thurmond was traded to Chicago, and Thurmond retired without a ring (he is 11th on the all time rebounds list).
