Albert King actually had more physical talent than Bernard. He was being compared to Julius Erving, Connie Hawkins, and Marques Johnson. He was never as good any of those guy's. I think the strain of having to live up to Bernard got to him and he was being compared to those three players I named as a high school senoir. Hard for a young player to live to such comparisons.

Underrated no doubt. Has he made it to the Hall of Fame? Does anyone know? And in fact ow about his brother too? Great players for the era of basketball. I remember watching those guys when I was growing up in Philly, and they would play the Sixers. Great times in sports those years...............
