    I think Vinnie Johnson is the most iconic. People always refer to him, and the "Microwave" nickname.

    do this include player who dont play 6th man but would be best suited for it because lebron jame is greatest six man ever if we look at it this way. he dnot have to carry hes team, be leader, dominateb game, or do noything he is no cut out for doing. he can play well against weak comptition ( opposing bench ) just like he do for many year now by stack his team nd erase all copetition hes conference. lebron as six man is a microcosm of his actions with ' decision ' fro past few year. because thes he is best six man of the times ever in nba .

    Can't talk for pre mid-90s but Gino is the best I've seen.

    He also had the inner drive that characterized "Celtics pride." After his first year Havlicek went home and worked hard to improve both his outside shooting and his dribbling. The next season he led the team in scoring, averaging 19.9 ppg and he showed that he was ready to assume Ramsey's position as the Celtics' all-important sixth man. Despite Cousy's retirement, Boston won 59 games in 1963-64 and vanquished the San Francisco Warriors in five games for the NBA crown. Havlicek made the All-NBA Second Team.

    For the next five seasons Havlicek was the best nonstarter in basketball. As Boston's "supersub" he came in at either guard or forward and was usually on the court at the end of a game. Along with Russell, Havlicek routinely accumulated the most playing minutes among the Celtics during a season.

    Havlicek didn't mind the sixth-man role. "It never bothered me," he once said, "because I think that role is very important to a club.. One thing I learned from Red Auerbach was that it's not who starts the game, but who finishes it, and I generally was around at the finish."
