NBA Overtime: Rick Barry 1986

[hooperqi]

For him not to win the MVP in 1975 was a crime. He had an amazing year that year and again in 1976. He was the best all-around forward of all-time, along with Larry Bird. Great deep shooter, great passer, could drive to the hoop, and had a post up game. One of the best transition players ever too. Barry terrorized the passing lanes and started many fast breaks with steals. One of the best ever.

Sounds like Ron Howard narrating.

the most underrated player ever . The most underrated Team ever. Ask the big E or Unseld if the GSW and Barry were the best and underrated team. Hmmm I know the answer a bigYES

Mr Barry was a pure scorer plain and simple. When he got hot 25' shots were like layups. I watched it happen many times; He'd make 1 or 2 then hit 5 in row. Stealin the ball was his forte too. He played in an era when players took care of the rock. But he played the lanes so well no pass was safe from him jumping in and taking it. He was a nightmare for any of the premier defensive stars in his day to guard. Top 50 all time with out doubt. Use MJ as the standard of competitiveness. Barry was #1
