Payton was great, but...
although I criticized Earvin Johnson's high dribble, I contend he was the best player ever.
Point guard, power forward, center. Passer, scorer, low-post defender, rebounder.
Magic could do it all.
The NBA's only "point-forward". For a brief interval, everyone in the Western Conference drafted huge guys who could dribble. Only Nate McMillan made the transition, and he did it on the defensive end.
Nate was great, though, obviously, not an offensive player.
