31. Shareef Abdur-Rahim

Shareef Abdur-Rahim was a better player than he really got credit for, but when you always play for bad teams, it is easy to forget you.  Abdur-Rahim actually holds the distinction of playing the most games in his career (Vancouver, Atlanta, Portland, and Sacramento) before finally participating in the playoffs. 

Regardless of being unable to lead a team into the postseason (he was a bench player when he made the postseason with Sacramento), this was still an excellent scorer who averaged 20.4 Points and 8.9 Rebounds per Game and went to his only All-Star Game as a Hawk.  He was with Atlanta for only two and a half seasons, but his offensive production earned him a place on this list.
