Adrian Dantley

Anyone who thinks efficiency was boring probably never saw Adrian Dantley play. Knowing that his Detroit Pistons frontcourt mates were skilled at gobbling up defensive rebounds, Dantley instinctively races the other way in anticipation of a Philadelphia 76ers miss. After catching a long outlet pass, the six-time All-Star adds some razzle dazzle to a routine finish, badly fooling the lone defender left in front of him by wrapping the ball around his back and capping the play with a stylish deuce. A bonafide scorer, Dantley was his normal efficient self, posting 27 points, four rebounds and four assists in his squad’s 120-110 road triumph on November 21, 1986.
