LJ pre-injury was the heir apparent to Charles Barkley. Might have ended up being better.

pre-draft scouting report said he was quicker than power forwards and stronger than small forwards. but he was more like slower than small forwards and weaker than power forwards.

I don't know what your point is, but in his first two years, before his first major injury, he averaged 20 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists per game. Who's the last 6'6" guy capable of that?

he often played the "i can beat you on your game" game like often trying to post up bigger defenders and shoot fadeaways instead of going around them.


*looking at that charlotte team* man, they are short!

Say what?

Great player who's career was shortened by injury and played on crappy teams in his early years. Not a perfect analogy, but he's who came to my mind first. Maravich was a player no one really should have liked, but you couldn't help yourself.

Larry also had a complete offensive skill set. He had both inside scoring and jump shooting ability. That was pretty common even in the '90s, but really rare now.
