Rashard Lewis was one of the best three-point shooters in NBA history. He made the NBA Finals with Orlando during Dwight Howard’s prime and won an NBA championship with the Miami Heat teaming back up with Ray Allen. Lewis was drafted 32nd overall in 1998, but he declared for the NBA straight out of high school which hurt his draft stock. Nevertheless, he became one of the best forwards in the league who could play small forward and power forward. Lewis was also one of the original stretch fours who helped change the game in that direction.

Notes:

  • Rashard Lewis’s height in shoes is 6 feet 11.5 inches tall.
  • Rashard Lewis’s playing weight was a consistent 235 pounds throughout his playing career.
  • Rashard Lewis is one of the most underrated NBA players in history in my opinion. Fans quickly forgot that he was a main player on an Orlando Magic team that went to the NBA Finals against Kobe Bryant in 2009. If not for Kobe Bryant, they may have been NBA Champions.
