Brought a rare mix of elite athleticism and selfless, team-first skills to the court. An exceptional passer, he was also an elite defender. Could out-jump most opponents for big dunks. Powerful for a wing, he was a solid scorer when he needed to be. His range was adequate. Usually did what his team needed. Sometimes, he struggled in the role of go-to scorer and deferred too much to his teammates (instead of dominating like he could one on one). Was not a consistent free-throw shooter. His overall leadership and unselfishness were legendary. | |
