Bernard King is a retired American professional basketball player at the small forward position in the NBA and one of the league's all-time greatest scorers. He played all or part of 14 seasons with the New Jersey Nets (1977--1979, 1992-93), Utah Jazz (1979-80), Golden State Warriors, (1981--1982), New York Knicks (1983--1987), and the Washington Bullets (1987--1991).
carmelo anthony is the closest thing to being compared to bernard king. antawn jamison is distant second imo.

I remember back in the mid 80s, me and a couple of guys would try to shoot jumpers with our fingers taped. One of my friends wore a white T-shirt with "KING 30" on the back written in magic marker. King was the truth!

100th of a second 1inch separation is all it took .Hard as nails too I saw him land from the top of his jump he got under cut hit dead's center on his tail bone you could hear the impact iin the nose bleed seats. For sure he's not going to continue but no he shakes it off and played like nothing happened . I thought he's down the game stopped player on both sides were scared. That dude is a bad ass

King had a bad knee injury at the height of his career. He missed a whole season and when he came back he wasn't the same guy. If he'd stayed healthy and had another three or four seasons like the ones he had before the injury he'd be considered one of the top eight or ten players of all time.

No question. He's one of the top 5 small forwards ever.

I'm sure if he had Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant on his team, he would have passed more. Why would you expect a small forward to rack up Guard assist numbers? A career 3.3 assists per game is respectable for one of the best scorers in NBA history. He was also a great defender.

haha no Bernard King was not known as a great assist man. But he sure could put the ball in the basket
