NBA獎盃是每個球員最期盼的幸運獎盃，但以下這五位超級球星，比起其他人來説更需要一次總冠軍去證明自己，哪怕是一次總決賽之旅來安穩人心。他們被公認為某個位置最好的或是最好之一的球員，他們還從未帶領球隊摘得冠軍榮耀。籃球是一項團體運動，不能對這些球員過分苛責。可這五位球星是各自球隊毫無爭議的領袖，在某種意義上，他們被期待領導球隊邁向成功。首先來看第一位領袖——甜瓜。

1卡梅隆-安東尼——紐約尼克斯隊

2012-13數據：28.7分，2.6次助攻，6.9個籃板

2012-13球隊狀況：常規賽54勝28負，二輪出局

2012-13 Stats: 28.7 PPG, 2.6 APG, 6.9 RPG

2012-13 Team Outcome: 54-28 Regular Season, Second-round exit

         安東尼繼續成為今日聯盟中兩極最分化的球員之一。不是因為任何醜聞或是不和諧事件，僅僅是因為球迷對於他的比賽評價就將安東尼推上了風口浪尖上。一些人會爭得面紅耳赤，認為無論是球隊還是球隊戰績，安東尼是全聯盟最好的球員；而另一些人的批評則尖刻了許多，他們認為安東尼缺少組織進攻的能力，在攻守兩端也缺乏持續度。

       事實是，無論你覺得安東尼怎樣，他不僅是全聯盟最好的進攻手之一，還是近30年來我們見過最致命的進攻武器。安東尼也認為現在是時候在他的職業生涯中跨出下一步了。

Anthony continues to be one of the more polarizing basketball players in today’s league. No, not to any fault of his own, and not due to any recent scandal or negative event, but simply due to how his game is judged by the hoops-loving public. While some will argue until blue in the face that Anthony is one of the league’s best regardless of the game or season outcome, others are far more harsh in their criticism of his lack of playmaking and consistent effort on both ends. The reality is, no matter how you feel about Anthony, he remains not only one of the best offensive players in the game, but one of the more lethal offensive weapons we’ve seen over the last 30 years. Even though Anthony’s Knicks qualified for the semi-finals for just the first time in well over a decade, the time has come for him to lead this team even further. After witnessing, or even suffering through (if you will), several of his 2003 NBA Draft class contemporaries win multiple titles, we are sure Anthony would also agree that it is well-beyond time for him to take that next step in his career.
