Ben Simmons is one of the most unique basketball players of all time. But one of the original pioneers for his style of play was Rick Barry.
Much like Simmons, during his professional basketball career, Barry was celebrated for his versatility and his well-roundedness. He knows a thing or two about making an impact on his team in a variety of ways.
Barry and Simmons are two of ten players in league history to have career averages of at least 15.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. The others are Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Clyde Drexler, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and LaMelo Ball.
