Paul Arizin was a high-scoring small forward and spent his entire career with the Philadelphia Warriors after getting selected by the franchise as a territorial pick in the 1950 NBA draft. He featured in the All-Star Game in his rookie season and averaged 17.2 points and 9.8 rebounds per game that season.

After a really good debut season, he came back stronger in his second season and scored 1674 points at an average of 25.4 points per game and won the scoring title. That season, he also went on to clinch the All-Star Game MVP.

The 10-time All-Star added one more feather to his cap when he won the NBA championship in 1956 with the Warriors. Paul continued his dominance from regular season and averaged a league-high 28.9 points, 8.4 rebounds per game to bring home the second title. The two-time scoring champ was named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history upon its 50th anniversary in 1996.
