Alam Mo Ba?
Was considered undersized at 6'1' but became the greatest point guard in NBA history by most statistical measures.
Never missed a playoff appearance in 19 seasons and never won a title — a combination that defines the tragic greatness of his career.
His Gonzaga career preceded the program's national rise, meaning he took a 'local' school path that almost no NBA legend has replicated.
Stockton is widely considered the best player never to win an NBA championship — a distinction he shares with his teammate Karl Malone.
