Lebron James, the player who has the court vision of a point guard, scoring prowess of a shooting guard, all around abilities required for a small forward and the power of a power forward, was recently named the greatest small forward of all time by ESPN.com.
Behind him is Larry Bird, whom basketball purists would object to him being second. Third is Julius “Dr. J” Erving and fourth and fifth is Kevin Durant and Elgin Baylor.
ESPN as a website and network is known for causing rapid discussion with either politically or non politically correct lists and articles. This for sure will have social media and the entire sports world talking.
