2. Michael Jordan – Shooting Guard

Six-time champion. Five-time MVP. Ten-time scoring champ. Jordan, he’s the standard. His dominance in the clutch and consistent will to win makes him a non-negotiable pick for many, including Giannis.

3. Kobe Bryant – Small Forward

A mirror of MJ in many ways, Kobe brought a tough work ethic, scoring versatility, and defensive excellence. His “Mamba Mentality” shaped an entire generation of hoopers, including Giannis himself.

4. Kevin Durant – Power Forward

One of the most unstoppable scorers the game has ever seen. A 7-footer with guard skills, KD adds elite shooting, rim protection, and matchup nightmare potential at the forward spot.
