Zebra Sports NBA Ranking: The NBA stars with the worst winning percentages ever

Ranking: The NBA stars with the worst winning percentages ever



https://hoopshype.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2025/03/2202754068.jpg?w=640

A few days ago, we posted the list of players with the worst winning percentages in NBA history. As usual, it featured considerable star power, but also included players who were more passengers than leaders in their teams’ victories and losses. Consequently, we decided to filter out players without All-Star appearances, focusing solely on the big-name guys with at least one All-Star under their belts.

The Top 50 of this refined ranking includes nine players currently in the NBA. Check out the full list here:
