The NBA players with the worst point differential ever

Last month, we released a ranking of the players with the best accumulated point differential in NBA history, a list that heavily features Spurs from the golden era. Today, we flip it to the worst point differential of all time. Making this one requires a rare form of consistency… You have to be good enough to stick around for a long time, but do it while playing for lousy teams.

At No. 1, you will find shooting guard Doug West, who spent his career with two expansion franchises: the early-’90s Minnesota Timberwolves and the Vancouver Grizzlies, where he happened to overlap with our No. 2, one-time All-Star Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

Below, take a look at the Top 30.
