Everytime Worthy was guarded, in the low post, with his back to the rim, his opponent would be schooled. His unbeliavable speed, along with one of the best footwork in the hisyory of the game, made him impossible to guard. Like Riley said, in his prime no one coud touch James Worthy. Absolutely unstopable.
Watching this again, and man, @3:30... that wasn't even catching Bird napping, that was straight speed going around the legend like Bird was a statue and dunkin' it. o.O
Such a lunch pale type of guy, not all the hot dog and pomp just amazing player to watch, he's solely respiratory for two if Showtime's chips in the eighties.
How in the hell you guard a guy that fast, with that footwork who can make a jumper and beat you with both hands. What a player! We won't see a small forward like that in today's NBA.

Loved his game.
He just got the ball and shot or took a drive.
No messing around, no waiting and wasting time.
The low post game is such a lost art among small forwards in the NBA today. Worthy's quickness, footwork and coordination was amazing.
Agreed. It's the fundamentals that've been lost.
Worthy's post up moves were sweet!
Greatest small forward ever. Drop step move is amazing
It was fastest step ever

Its ridiculous how good Big Game James was with both hands, like he's ambidextrous. How do you stop him? Answer: you don't. ;}
