The worst players on the last 5 NBA championship teams

4. D. J. Mbenga (2009 & 2010 Los Angeles Lakers)

D.J. Mbenga

He became a two time champion for the Lakers as a third backup center after Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol. He was initially signed on a 10 day deal with the Los Angeles Lakers after the Golden State Warriors had waived him midway through the 2007-08 season. They later signed for the rest of the year and in the following two years he saw two one year extensions with the franchise.

In his two years with the Lakers, with an average of 7.5 minutes on the floor he averaged 2.3 points, 1.5 rebounds and .8 blocks. His post-season numbers weren’t too great either. In 3.2 minutes per game average he recorded averages of 1 point, 1.1 rebounds.
