The 5 most undeserving players to win NBA championships

#2 Brian Scalabrine - 2008, Boston Celtics

The White Mamba

“The White Mamba” is probably the most well-regarded of this motley crew. Not because of his numbers (3.1 PPG, 0.8 APG, 2 RPG), but the fact that he was one of the most relatable players in the league; Scalabrine looked out of his depth in the NBA, but his big mouth and conviviality made him a fan-favorite, a member of the junta amongst the elite.

After winning a championship with the Celtics, Scalabrine moved to the Bulls, where he made himself more valuable than he had ever been on the floor. Being a close disciple of Tom Thibodeau, who had drawn the Head Coach assignment in Chicago after steering the Celtics to their 17^th championship, Scalabrine was a reliable mentor to future Bulls mainstays Derrick Rose and Joachim Noah.

Whenever the blooming stars would stall in their execution of Thibodeau’ schemes, Scala would be their to give them a pointer or two. So despite the NBA ring he earned as a player , the more meaty contributions came when he was on the bench, with a different team.
