Larry Bird
The thing that Bill did, and you see a lot on tape, is he didn't just swat it to embarrass the guy out of bounds play. He tried to keep it in play because it's just like a rebound. The offense is on the outside, defense is on in. If he could get his hand on it, one of his teammates could get to the ball faster. That's what led to fast breaks.
