Who are the best small forwards in nba history?celtics ,nba teams

Elgin Baylor, Bird, Bernard King, Rick Barry, and Hondo(who played quite of bit of guard too) !
My favorite tonight as I'm pleasantly drunk...... is 'never nervous' Pervus Short and his 'rainbow jumper'.
Larry Bird. He had the will power to carry his team to victory. Great physical defender, great shooter, great passer and motivates his teammates so well.
Scottie Pippen hands down. He was a great team player and the duo of him and Michael Jordan is without a doubt the best ever. He had a long career and was an asset to any team he played on.
I would say Scottie Pippen in modern basketball. He was infact the most complete player, if you look at his stats. Just played under MJ's shadow.

about Lebron, is very young, and rather new, so I wouldnt really put him on the All time list, not just now.
all-time Larry Bird

rite-now LeBron James
Forgot to add Grant Hill...
How is Lebron James on this list? What four years in the NBA and your already one of the best small forwards in NBA history? Please atleast wait until he has been in the league for 10 years before putting him on any list.
I think everybody forgot Dolph Schayes. He was the George Mikan of small forwards during his era....my list:

1. Larry Bird

2. Julius Erving

3. Elgin Baylor

4. Rick Barry

5. John Havlicek

6. Scottie Pippen

7. Dolph Schayes

8. Dominique Wilkins

9. James Worthy

10. Chris Mullin

notables: Alex English, Bernard King, Billy Cunningham, Adrian Dantley, LeBron James (too early to name him in the top 10), Paul Arizin, Dirk Nowitzki, Tracy McGrady, Tom Chambers, Paul Pierce, Mark Aguirre, Jamaal Wilkes.
Bird, Havlicek, Dr. J, Scottie Pippen, and Rick Barry. In that order.
If Grant Hill is listed as SF on your league, w/out the injury, he could have been the best of all time..

Pippen, Lebron, Glen Rice
bird...dr. j...scottie
