Elgin Baylor was undoubtedly one of the greatest players of all time. He is the third-greatest scorer ever in terms of points per game. Not only that, but his entrance to the NBA revolutionized the game forever. He was the first person to really use his incredible jumping ability to create a deadly advantage, turning an otherwise horizontal sport into a vertical one as well. He could stay in the air for what seemed like forever, and players like Dr. J, Kobe Bryant, and even Michael Jordan have copied this part of their game from him. Without Elgin Baylor, we might never have seen the greatness of a lot of the players that have come since his time.
