The
shortest MVP in NBA history... Was the best scorer in
the league... Very quick... Outstanding ballhandling skills...
Killing crossover... Was one the best players in the NBA
one-on-one... His shooting percentages are poor, but went
to the free-throw line more often than almost any other
player... Quick hands... Plays with heart... A shoot first,
shoot second type of guard... There are questions about
his ability to play in a spread-it-around offense... Doesn't
make teammates better.
