Making it to the NBA Finals is no easy task, but that’s just half the work. Ultimately there can only be one winner in a season and the other team is destined to lose in the final stage. Not many players have appeared in the NBA Finals more than once and not lost in the season finale.

Here’s a list of the top six NBA players from the few who’ve made it to the NBA Finals more than once and never lost.

6 best players who never lost in NBA Finals

1) Robert Horry

Robert Horry, a.k.a ‘Big Shot Rob,’ is one of the most recognizable players in NBA history to have a perfect 7-0 record in the finals. He secured titles from the Houston Rockets in 1994 and 1995. Then, he secured titles from the Los Angeles Lakers in their three-peat from 2000-2002. Finally, he secured titles from the San Antonio Spurs in 2005 and 2007.

3) Scottie Pippen

Scottie Pippen was crucial alongside Michael Jordan for the Chicago Bulls dynasty and shares Jordan’s record for the 6-0 record in the NBA Finals.
