It used to be that the shooting guards were the most explosive and nasty scorers on the court (MJ & Kobe nomeansno Bryant). But it seems the evolution of the game has allowed the elite and uber scorers to move up to the small forward position.

Best player in the NBA is a 3. The best scorer is a 3. And the Spurs have been undefeated since they got their indispensabe 3 back.. Center? Power Forward.. Not anymore...

What say you?

At one point Bird was the best player in the game with (arguably) King being the best scorer, also with dudes like Dantley, Wilkins or English, you had Pressey who was very all-around and major for the Bucks, Erving still around, so on... So I don't know about that "evolution" of the game lol.
