NBA Finals

I did a little research, and according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_Conference_Finals check out the list) every single NBA Finals, all 62 years, since 1949 every single finals featured at least one of these players:

Bill Russell -                   12 (57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,68,69)
Kareem Abdul Jabaar -  10 (71,74,80,82,83,84,85.87,88,89)
Kobe Bryant LAL -         7 (00,01,02,04,08,09,10)
Michael Jordan -            6 (91,92,93,96,97,98)
Wilt Chamberlain -         6 (64,67,69,70,72,73)
Larry Bird -                    5 (81,84,85,86,87)
George Mikan -              5 (49,50,52,53,54)
Tim Duncan -                 4 (99,03,05,07)
Elvin Hayes -                  3 (75,78,79)
Julius Erving -                3 (77,80,82)
Harry Gallitan -              3 (51,52,53)
Clyde Drexler -              3 (90,92,95)
Hakeem Olajuwon -       2 (94,95)
Dwayne Wade -             2 (06, 11)
George Yardley -           2 (55,56)

First of all, if any one is wondering where Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Scottie Pippen, Shaq, etc., I'll explain it right now. This list is to find the least amount of players that have been featured in every single NBA Finals. So, since, for example, Magic Johnson won all of his titles with Kareem Abdul-Jabaar, I don't have to include him. Same with Jabaar and James Worthy, Pippen, and Jordan, and Shaq and Kobe.
Also, this list shows how little parity the NBA has. A similiar list in any other sport (especially the NFL), would need at least 40 players. If anyone finds a mistake, please say so by commenting or e-mail me.
