It was a different game back then but Barry could have adapted to any era. Barry was extremely quick and is one of the greatest all-time from the triple threat position - shoot, pass, or drive. He would have easily adapted to the modern, over the top ball handling rules because he was so quick and coordinated. I once saw the dude hit a game winning shot shot while falling out of bounds in a game he had over 50 points. Lol

eb There is a difference between quick and fast. For example, Larry Bird was slow as in foot speed but had very quick hands. I’d say Barry had average speed getting up and down the floor later in his career - although he had good endurance. When he first came into the NBA he was faster when he averaged 35 a game and was more of a slasher. Throughout his career he had quick hands in addition to a highly developed court sense like all the great players.

As far as Barry’s speed goes, he also had to adapt his game after a knee injury because he lost speed and jumping ability. But he was still great - the year he led the Warriors to the title he averaged over 30 a game and the offense went through Barry.

Barry is an all-time great for sure - he was a great passer, great shooter, and was extremely disruptive on d because he was such an intelligent player. Early in his career he was more of a slashing player that was really quick to the basket. With injuries and age he developed his outside shot and was good deep shooter. Barry was a great scorer that adapted his game over time but was also one of the greatest passing forwards of all-time. The dude was flat out great.

@G23Farrakhan52 I think he was just a flat out scoring machine in the NBA before he left for the ABA. When he came back to the NBA in addition to being a very good scorer I think he was a much better passer his sole title year than he ever previously was. He didn't have this sort of vision during his 1st tenure as a Warrior. I might be mistaken but he was like the first "point forward" in NBA history. I cant think of another small forward prior to him with his vision. Baylor was a more athletic/acrobatic 1 on 1 scorer, but not someone who was renowned for court sense/passing. Havlicek was more of a less ball dominant movement type scorer. Interesting that you rank him above Bird.

Let's not forget that the Sixers had the Kangaroo Kid, Billy Cunningham, coming off the bench. Billy could jump out of the gym before he got hurt (later) and he could flat out score and had a high basketball IQ. Here endeth the lesson son.

Barry was Kobe Bryant's one true predecessor, right down to the hardcore perfectionist mentality and prickly attitude towards teammates who just didn't understand the kind of cloth he was cut from. Had the complete all-around game, much like Jerry West at the time but at the small forward position instead. Too bad there's not much footage of him from his younger days with the Warriors when he showed off lightning quickness on the hardwood (hence the "Miami Greyhound" nickname he was tagged with). Knee injury he sustained while with the ABA's Oakland Oaks during their championship 1968-69 season took away some of that blazing speed, but he still adapted successfully en route to a first-ballot HOF career. BARELY edges out Wilt Chamberlain for greatest Warrior of all time, in my not-so-humble opinion. ;-)

At present, as far as I can tell, he has been the only former great player with courage enough to publicly call the NBA management on the traveling, ball carrying, moving screens , etc., that are not being called by the refs, as they should be.

Weakest? Because you had rules that you had to play by???? Players from one generation to the next could not swap because NEITHER would have what they had in their generation. MJ would NOT have the slams and the fades he learned from PREVIOUS player observation. You know they don't just MAKE that up right? The various so called cross over dribbles wouldn't work because they would have been called carries all game long. And don't get me started on the step, hop, skip, pause plant and jump that is walking. This generation plays with so many relaxed rules. The same is with football. Players can be GOTE Greatest Of Their Era, but not a GOAT. Both sports have changed by either restricting or relaxing rules to ALLOW.... keyword: ALLOW... more scoring and dynamic play. People wanted to see more Globe Trotter stuff so the NBA relaxed many rules to ALLOW for it. The NFL restricted DBs press coverage, downfield contact, hits on receivers, etc... hits on QBs so much so they might as well eliminate them from being tackled and attach flags on them like flag football, etc... Here is one thing nobody picked up on from that era that is different from this era. You played your NATURAL game and NOT a cloned game whether NFL or NBA. Rick Barry could do the underhand foul shot and no one tried to change him. TODAY... instead of letting players play their natural way they bring in people to coach them to change how they shoot foul shots and how to throw the ball as a QB despite being successful through college. Then people wonder why some of these QBs fail. If you feel they need changing then don't draft them.
