A six-time All-Star, Guerin was truly something special.

Guerin’s crown jewel of a season was 1961-62. He averaged 29.5 points, 6.9 assists and 6.4 rebounds per game, which solidified his place as one of the most complete and unstoppable forces in basketball.

With three All-NBA nods and ferocious competitive spirit, Guerin was one of the most respected players of his time.
