First, larry bird.
Compared with other top small forwards, Bird is not the most athletic player. His outside shooting is unstable, especially at the critical moment. He is not an expert in one-on-one defense, but his brain can help him defend better. Although his speed is not fast, he knows how to use it correctly. Bird's greatest advantage is that he is an alert passer, a keen rebounder and a prolific shooter. His desire for competition is unprecedented. Moreover, he can always realize the coming of danger faster than others.
Second, John Havisek
He never knew fatigue, even in back-to-back playoff games (playing in new york on Saturday and returning to Celtic's home court on Sunday afternoon). In the "Russell Dynasty", it was Havrisek who kept running and created opportunities for his teammates again and again. His breakthrough speed is the fastest in history, which can maximize the efficiency of pick-and-roll cooperation. At the critical moment, his breakthrough jumper can also play a role. His starting speed made his opponent unable to keep up, so no one wanted to defend this small forward. 197 1-74 season was selected as the first team of the "best team"; 1972-76 season was selected as the "best defensive team".
Third, Scott Pippen
Pippen is a dynamic scorer in positional warfare; In the fast break, he is a cold-blooded killer. His comprehensiveness is unparalleled, and it is the interpretation of the "triangle attack" to the extreme. Pippen's defense is impeccable. He can defend many other players-shooting guard, point guard and small forward. Pippen's only weakness is three-pointers. Michael Jordan was free to criticize any teammate in the Bulls, but he never criticized Pippen. If the offensive core of the Bulls is Jordan, then the defensive core is Pippen, who directs his teammates (including Jordan) to attack and change positions. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the coach of the Bulls.
Fourth, Julius Erving.
Owen is a winner. At the crucial moment, as soon as he took the ball, the fans, coaches and players held their breath. What will Dr. J do next? Fans who like him have never been disappointed-a layup in the crowd and a strong dunk from a distance. He is a veritable champion. His greatest contribution is to bring the hovering and flying movements into the NBA, and the flying of rebounding in the frontcourt is a must. He is also the commander on the field, and his fighting spirit always inspires the fighting spirit of the whole team. His weakness is also three-pointers. In Aba League 15 1, his three-point shooting percentage was only 32.2%. In the NBA's 1 1 season, he averaged only 26. 1%.
Fifth, rick barry.
1966-67 averaged 35.6 points per game, ranking first in the league. His trademark is fast break scoring, high efficiency and ruthlessness, as well as accurate hitting ability on the outside. His comprehensiveness is also reflected in the free throws. He is one of the few players in his career who hit more than 90% of free throws. Barry is also a deep-water bomb for basketball reform. He was the first "ball striker". As the offensive core of the Warriors, he led the team to win the finals with a score of 1975. His defense belongs to orthodoxy. Although he lacked some wonderful blocks, his faster steals created countless fast break opportunities. His weakness is that he is too arrogant and thinks he knows more than the coach.
Sixth, Elgin Baylor.
Hall of Fame players 14 averaged 27 points 13.5 rebounds per game, which is a technical statistic that many power forwards are difficult to complete. Running on the basketball court has always been a deep knowledge, and many opportunities are obtained in running. Of course, running alone is not enough to beat your opponent. If the opportunity runs out, you will do it, too. Baylor is a model of running and shooting. So his teammate Jerry West said, "He is one of the most enjoyable pitchers in basketball history." Baylor is the boss of the team, and he asks his teammates to keep improving in training, so the Lakers have created a brilliant NBA history record of 33 consecutive victories.
Seventh, billy cunningham.
During the 1 1 season of his career, he never felt at a loss. He is the best rebounding small forward in NBA history, especially offensive rebounding. The scoring ability is not strong, with a career average of 2 1.2 points. It was not until the end of his career that he became a stable middle-distance scorer. When the game is deadlocked, he can always find a way to score. His defense is tireless, because he moves very fast, so he can be called "defensive terminator". After retiring, he succeeded as a head coach and businessman.
Eighth, dominique wilkins.
Dominique wilkins, the essence of human movies, is a super scorer and a slam dunk master. He can always score with his body close to the basket. Although his outside shooting is not excellent, no one can stop him from scoring when he reaches the inside. His defense is average, and he is often dazzled by his opponent's pick and roll. His rebounding is average and his ball control is worse. The ratio of assists and mistakes in career is as high as 1- 1, and there has not been much breakthrough in career.
Ninth, joe fulks.
He is the pioneer of small forward. Before the birth of NBA 1949, he was already a famous basketball player. At that time, an average of 20 points was enough to make headlines. He averaged more than 20 points a season. Folques plays the role of small forward in his own way, scoring, defending, rebounding and stealing are not bad, so he is the first truly "all-around small forward".
Tenth, paul arizin.
Arikin is a pioneer of basketball, and jump shot is his invention. /kloc-joined the Philadelphia Warriors in the NBA in 0/950. At that time, the offensive rhythm was slow, and most of the players stood on their feet and shot with their hands holding their chests. Arikin's jump shot is known as the "new weapon" of Philadelphia Warriors. The following year, Arikin won the title of NBA scoring champion with an average score of 25.44 points per game. Arikin himself is very comfortable with the ball and can have a certain time to fly when taking off. In addition, he is a very rare national defense expert. At that time, when the score was generally low, Arikin averaged more than 20 points for nine consecutive seasons, which was a very remarkable achievement in the 1950s.
