Without Magic, Worthy is never a 3-time champion. If you notice, in his entire career, Worthy never made all-league first or second team. The best he did was be named third team twice. He was a subpar rebounder for a guy 6-9. His career high was 6.4 and his career average was 5.1 His career scoring average was 17.6 He was a steady player and a good player. But nowhere close to one of the all-time greats. Where he made his name was in the playoffs. They called him "Big Game James" because he was a money player. But overall career, there were a lot of guys that rank higher than him. I would not have voted Worthy into the hall of fame.
