This is key. No Flyer, EVER, was as good at creating their own shot. Not B-Rob, not Negel, nobody. He didn't find his own shot by finding a soft spot on the court or dribbling and losing the guy guarding him, or by driving among the trees. He, with his back to the basket and 2 men in front guarding him, would do kind of dribble juke to his left, another one to his right and then fade and let go of a rainbow that swished more times than not. He was impossible to guard.
