The Honor Roll: Scoring Title, Finals MVP and the Hall of Fame

Rick Barry's trophy room carries both weight and "uniqueness." He owns one championship (1975) and that year's Finals MVP; the 1967 NBA scoring title was the earliest certification of his firepower; 10 All-Star selections span both NBA and ABA.

In 1996 he was named to the NBA 50 Greatest, and entered the Hall of Fame in 1987. Together these honors say: whatever you think of his personality, the data and historical standing speak for him—he is an officially stamped legend.

Worth noting, Barry is among the few with All-Star footprints in both NBA and ABA. Stack the two leagues' achievements and his "All-Star count" and "scoring-title coverage" are nearly unmatched among peers.
