LeBron is way bigger and stronger; his size/quickness/speed ratio is one of his defining characteristics.
Kendal Gill was a good starting shooting guard on an elite team. He was not a star player and really was a #3 scorer on a championship team.
I'd call him the shooting guard version of Dirk. He didn't play as much in the post, but he would always drive and pull up for an off balance mid-range jumper. He was absolutely lethal with it. He was lanky and looked bigger than a prototypical shooting guard. You'd have to see his shot to see what I mean, but he would pull up at the most unexpected of times and do a sort of fade away or lean in jumper.
Maravich averaged 67% from the three point line. Granted the three point line wasn't introduced until the end of his career.
All I know is, for someone to have the nickname "Black Jesus" he had to be great. Put up steady 23+ PPG for many years and played in NYC for most of his career. Also an NBA champion to boot.
A very unique player. Very flashy, great ballhandler and a great passer. A heck of a guy to watch. I don't really know how to compare his play style. In his prime? The 2nd-best two guard of his era.
Second best SG of all time in my opinion. Had Jordan never been born or suffered an injury early in his career I think we have a discussion for greatest SG ever. 20/6/6/2steals is a pretty impressive. If only there was more turn over on teams like todays NBA, this guy would not have had to suffer years of Kevin Duckworth.
I'm a little too young to have seen the late 70's/early 80's Rockets teams. Just how good was Moses Malone?
Chris Webber filled up a stat sheet with his rebounding, passing and shooting. He was probably the most clever big man I've seen play. He was frequently set up at the high post and if he hadn't dribbled yet, look out. He could find an open man for easy points like you wouldn't believe, but if you sagged off of him he'd shoot or dribble in closer for his own easy baskets. He made me a fan of the Sacramento Kings.
