An NBA Title With Five or Less Finals Minutes Since 1990

OrlandoMagic.com's Josh Cohen researched the players since 1990 that won an NBA title, participated in the playoffs the year they won but played five or less minutes in the NBA Finals.

CRITERIA:

1) The player won an NBA title between 1990 and 2013
2) The player played in the playoffs the year he won the title and logged five or fewer minutes in the NBA Finals (therefore, Brian Scalabrine does not get included because he didn't play in the playoffs at all when the Celtics won in 2008)
3) A player is discounted from making this list if he had won a title prior to 1990 and registered more than five minutes in the NBA Finals (as a result, Earl Cureton (1994, Rockets) and Robert Parish (1997, Bulls) do not get included despite playing five or fewer minutes in the NBA Finals the years they won a title between 1990 and 2013 because they each won titles in the 80s and logged more than five minutes in the Finals)
