Scouting Report
Arguably the most explosive leaper in basketball history, he was a gifted scorer who was also an above-average passer (when in distributor mode). A truly rare athlete, he was blessed with long arms that helped him defend, rebound and shoot over defenders well. Later on in his very lengthy NBA career, he provided a spark off the bench and loads of locker room leadership. He became increasingly streaky and prone to injury with age. Drove the lane less over time but became a more rounded shooter. Was criticized as a selfish player earlier in his career (but eventually proved those criticisms to be unfounded as a strong veteran leader).
Long Range Potential: Superstar swingman and all-time dunking legend.
