How good would Worthy have been as a #1? Paul Pierce level?

Could he have been Jordan’s sidekick as effectively as Pippen was?

I voted Elgin even though he's before my time. From my personal eyes it would be Worthy and a bit behind him Wilkes.

This to be henceforth known as the Big Game James award, given to the third most important player on a Lakers title team.

Glen Rice deserves a place on the list, even though it wasn't always pretty. Worked out better than Payton did, despite the flawed fit. But he was better than we remember.

‘71/72 on a 69 win team that won 33 straight, Wilt scored 14.8, which was less than Goodrich and West who averaged mid to upper 20 ppg. He also had 19.8 rpg and although blocks weren’t a stat that was kept, he had plenty. In a 162-99 win over the Warriors & Nate Thurmond, he scored 30, had 20 rebs, & 12 blocked shots, while sitting out the 4th qtr. Jim McMillan scored more per game, but Wilt provided offense whenever he chose to, while he concentrated on defense at Coach Sharman’s request.

Final answer: Wilt.

Was Elgin a third banana? I guess at the end of his career. Not in his prime. He scored 38 PPG in a season with 18 boards, another season with 35 / 20 / 5.
