Spur's fans won't forget the team's NBA championships, but that's not the case for one media personality.

During ESPN's Get Up! morning sports talk show Monday, analyst Jalen Rose compiled a ranking of his "Top Active NBA Players to Never Win a Championship." The list included players like James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and Anthony Davis.

Rose and co-host Michelle Beadle then asked ESPN analyst Mike Greenberg if he had "any thoughts or disagreements" with the list, to which he emphatically replied, "Yes!" before arguing that Rose had left out "the best one" - San Antonio Spurs small forward Kawhi Leonard.

Only problem is, Leonard has a ring, as Beadle - an avid Spurs fan - is quick to remind Greenberg.

Watch the full clip below (Greenberg appears around the 2:40 mark) and listen to the audience's reaction at the flub:

Kawhi Leonard won an NBA championship and was the Finals MVP in 2014. Beadle spoke for all Spurs fan when she cried, "How dare you respect Kawhi Leonard," before making a jab at Leonard's uncertain future with the Silver and Black

Greenberg offered an apology, saying, "That's my bad. You're exactly right," and admitted that the error was an "embarrassing shame."
