Scouting Report
One of the NBA's all-time great scorers, he had a true knack for finding his shot and beating his defender one on one. Employed great instincts and angles to get his jumper off, with a quick release. Had the size of a power forward and the skills of a guard; he rebounded well and was a solid passer. Performed well in the clutch and was a take-charge player. Took a huge volume of shots but rarely posted a top-tier field-goal shooting percentage over a full season. Was never a reliable three-point shooter. Was somewhat prone to injury and his defensive intensity was sometimes an issue. While a good athlete, he was not very explosive or fast.
Long Range Potential: All-Star scoring forward.
