Yak man...I'll say it's Larry Bird. Multiple MVP's, ASG appearances, Championships...he's really the true standard of how a SF should play.

first of all mj was a SG not a SF, so with that said, Dr. J was great, but Larry Legend is the greatest SF of all time. His rebounding, and passing abilities alone put him up near the top, but then you add his scoring ability and his leadership and it is not even a debate.

Larry Bird, aka Larry Legend. He pretty much redefined the small forward position throughout his career.

Larry Bird, no question. Super smooth, unconscious from the three point line and a 89% free throw shooter. Gritty, dive for loose balls, rebound like a madman and passes like a guard.
He could do it all...

THERE WOULD BE A VERY LIVELY DEBATE. I SAY THAT BIRD AND DR J ARE TIED FOR NUMBER 1.
USING MY POWER RATING SYSTEM. POWER RATING = POINTS + REBOUNDS + ASSISTS. HERE IS THE LIST:
BIRD - 24.3 + 10.1 + 6.3 = 40.7
DR J - 25.4 + 9.4 + 4.4 = 39.2
BARRY - 26.9 + 7 + 4.6 = 38.5
CUNNINGHAM - 22 + 10.8 + 4.9 = 37.7
IF YOU RANK BAYLOR AS A SMALL FORWARD WHICH I RANK HIM AS A POWER FORWARD, BIRD WOULD BE SECOND.
BAYLOR - 27.4 + 13.5 + 4.3 = 45.2

No contest!!!!.........Michael Jordan........Michael made his team far better than it was.........He made so-so players play above and beyond even their own expections and talent.......His dedication to the games and his never ending striving to be the best made him the best.......Players will sit out games due to very minor injuries but the 5th game of the championship series, where Jordan played sick as could be from food poisoning, and still put up 35 points shows his dedication to the game...........His drive for winning and perfection was contagious to his team mates.......When he stepped on the court he didn't just control Michael Jordan, he controlled nine other players every time with the Bulls........Oh yeah, I'm definitely a Jordan fan thru and thru............CAT
