My Take
Bernard King is the kind of scorer I deeply respect: not flashy, just relentlessly effective. A four-time All-Star and the 1984-85 scoring champion, he built his points with a deadly turnaround jumper rather than highlight-reel theatrics. But what truly earns my admiration is his comeback. After a catastrophic knee injury that many assumed would end his career, he fought his way back and kept putting up numbers. That refusal to accept the ending others wrote for him is what separates good players from unforgettable ones, and King belongs firmly in the latter group.
