8. Gary Payton
The starting point guard for the 2004 Lakers squad that fell to the Pistons in five games in the Finals, the aging Glove averaged 14.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game while starting all 82 regular season games. He’d end up getting that elusive title in 2006 as the Heat’s backup point guard.
