15. Tom Chambers
Tom Chambers perfectly defined the new role of the big man. At six foot eleven he could run like a shooting guard and could finish anything. His jump shot was unblockable due to his size and though he never was a great post player, he did not shy away from contact. Chambers scored over 20,000 career points and made four All-Star games. He was not on winning teams but Chambers was a great offensive player and players today such as Dirk Nowitzki owe their careers to his influence in changing the way the game thought of big men.
