As far as a power forwards go, he's one of the best who never gets talked about. Terry Cummings was a hybrid forward with the size and skills to play positions 3 through 5. He starred at DePaul University, playing alongside Mark Aguirre during one of the Blue Demons most winningest stretches. He would play briefly with the San Diego Clippers alongside Tom Chambers to start his career; before beginning his best stretch with the Milwaukee Bucks, alongside Sidney Moncrief and Paul Pressey in the mid 80s. After this he would be sent to San Antonio as a great scorer and veteran presence for the Spurs; alongside David Robinson and Sean Elliott. But a freak knee injury suffered in 1992 would completely change the trajectory of his career. He would still last 8 more years in the league, but he was nowhere near the level he was at during his first decade in the NBA. Even so, he had a full decade as essentially a 20 and 10 guy on perennial playoff teams, even getting some MVP consideration. Yet for some reason, Terry Cummings name is almost unspoken nowadays, it could be due to playing in Milwaukee's small market, or being overshadowed by David Robinson. But The Preacher is now one of the most overlooked stars of his era, who embraced whichever role he was given. And even though he retired with the most career playoff games without a Finals appearance, TC did all he could to get there, and deserves nothing but respect.
