Perhaps the best all-around performer in professional basketball, Elgin handles himself with the dexterity and maneuverability of a small man. He is equally adept at bringing up the ball under the boards. He can shoot, rebound, pass, dribble and quarterback a club almost as well as any man alive. He has blistering speed, stamina, strength and tremendous spirit. It is difficult to say which is his best shot. He hooks from 20 feet out, drives for layups, jumps from the top of the key and hits with soft push shots from the corner. Here he hangs in mid-air as he gets off an under-the-basket shot with no one near him.
