Larry Bird. Julius Erving. John Havlicek. Scottie Pippen. Rick Barry. James Worthy. Lerbon James.
Pretty valuable players making pretty valuable contributions to the game and their teams.
Small forwards are the quintessential basketball players. They must be able to play both ends of the floor and both in the paint and on the perimeter.
Except not every team has one of these HOF-caliber players on his roster. On the other hand, the NBA is full of examples of regular run-of-the-mill small forwards who _cannot_ play both inside and outside.
