Dirk

7’1 center leading the fast brake

Go back and watch some prime Dirk on YouTube. His handles were crazy for someone that was 7’1. He was fast pushing the ball up

Most of the coli just remembers 30+ Dirk

Above the fray.
Magic Johnson
Absolutely .
Ahead of his time, and ended up changing the future .

Majority of coaches would NOT let players over a certain height handle the ball before that. Pros, college, and high school.
Your job was to grab rebound and pass it to the guard.
Teams having big guards, and big men being allowed to start the break, handle the ball in practices, and games was directly related to the Lakers success.
