Thoughts on:
Chet Walker (Cunningham was actually his 6th man on that 67 Sixers title team.

Why Jack Twyman over Cliff Hagan?

[tanibanana]

Chet was the more senior player in the team, best fit during that year 1967 was Billy playing as the 6th man.
A year later, in 1968, Cunningham became the 76ers' franchise player, with All NBA first team level of performance, which Chet Walker never came close to in his entire career.

[L.Kizzle]

Jim Pollard was the first high flyer in the league for the Lakers

Jumpin Joe Fulks was the first player with a successful jump shot as everyone was still doin set shots.

Bob Dandridge and Jamaal Wilkes were great 2 way players for championship teams.

Lou Hudson, Glen Rice and Peja were great long range shooters.
