Gus Johnson: The First Glimpse of the MODERN Power Forward

Gus Johnson was one of the first glimpses into the modern power forward. Even though he was only 6’6, his athleticism and power made him a handful to guard. But he wasn’t just a bull in a china shop, as he could put the ball on the floor and hit from 15 feet. Gus was also one of the first big dunkers, as he shattered 3 backboards in his career. He was a great defensive player as well, quick enough to check guards on the perimeter but strong enough to hold it down in the paint. Gus got a relatively late start to his career, but he was the best player on the Bullets in his first 8 years, although they never got over the hump. Chronic knee problems would hamper him going into the 70s, but he would have to go to the ABA in order to win his first ring. Honeycomb was a revolutionary talent in the league, but for some reason, he’s not mentioned with the top forwards of all time, but today’s video might change the minds of those who think so. https://www.basketball-reference.com/...
