To this day Tom Chambers still holds the single-season record for highest scoring average over a season with 27.2. A record that may not be broken for a very long time, prime Chambers would not only light up the score board, but be one of the best reserve power forwards in all of the all-time rosters.

But then imagine this: Tom Chambers in his scoring prime coming in for Amar’e Stoudemire in his  scoring prime. Even the best all-time teams would have an extremely difficult time matching that ability to score from the power forward position.

Yet even after those two, there is still one more that might actually be the best true scorer of them all.
