Lebron plays alot like him.

You can't go wrong mirroring Baylor's game... His footwork and body control wrote the book for all future athletic forwards. He does sh*t that players today won't even try. Some of his finger rolls and reverse layups have such a soft touch I haven't seen players pull em off since MJ. Some of his passes look Magic Johnson'esq. He was just the right size for a small forward - Google Newspaper Archive reveals he was typically 230lbs when healthy, never dipped below 213, and was as high as 236 and was 6-5 in his barefeet. Good for a list height of at least 6-6 in today's league with modern shoes. So picture dis - he about as tall as MJ but with a wide heavy frame. I bet he could play against the leagues top SF's today and easily hold his own. Prob take em to school on a few plays. Guy knew how to please a crowd I still can't wrap my head around the pass @ 8:30
