1. Giannis Antetokounmpo
   LeBron James
2. James Harden
   Stephen Curry

Known as the "Greek Freak," Giannis Antetokounmpo truly is an anomaly on the court. Despite standing nearly 7 feet tall, Antetokounmpo has the ball handling skills of a point guard and the ability to slam it down from the free-throw line.

1. Kevin Durant
   LeBron James
2. Anthony Davis
   Blake Griffin

LeBron James went to the NBA Finals for eight straight seasons with the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers. From those eight appearances, James walked away with three NBA championships.

1. Damian Lillard
   Bradley Beal
2. Stephen Curry
   Kyle Lowry

Stephen Curry is a two-time NBA MVP and a three-time NBA champion. However, he hasn't played his best basketball in the NBA Finals, evident by the fact that he hasn't been awarded a Finals MVP.

1. Paul George
   Anthony Davis
2. Chris Paul
   Russell Westbrook

The first overall draft pick in the 2012 NBA draft, Anthony Davis has lived up to the hype in the regular season, but that hasn't translated into the playoffs quite yet. His move to Los Angeles will give him the opportunity to play alongside another star, LeBron James.

1. James Harden
   Blake Griffin
2. Joel Embiid
   Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi Leonard has taken down two of the most dominant playoff teams in NBA history: the 2014 Miami Heat and the 2019 Golden State Warriors. Those two playoff victories have given Leonard the only two titles of his career.

1. Chris Paul
   Damian Lillard
2. Kemba Walker
   Klay Thompson

Though he can score and defend, Chris Paul really shines on the basketball court when it comes to setting up his teammates. He has led the NBA in assists four times in his career, holding a career average of over nine assists per game.

1. James Harden
   Russell Westbrook
2. Paul George
   John Wall

Russell Westbrook was only the second player ever and the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple double for a season. To add to his greatness, however, Westbrook did it for three straight seasons.

1. LaMarcus Aldridge
   Damian Lillard
2. Karl-Anthony Towns
   Paul George

After a few seasons with the Indiana Pacers, Paul George showed he could be a star in the NBA. However, he suffered a devastating leg injury in training camp for the U.S. National Team that forced him to miss most of the 2014-15 NBA season. He wouldn't return to form until his next season with the Pacers.

1. James Harden
   Blake Griffin
2. Bradley Beal
   Joel Embiid

James Harden has benefited greatly from the new NBA rules that favor offensive players, particularly in the regular season. He has struggled in the playoffs, however, when defenses play tougher basketball and referees let more contact go.

1. DeAndre Jordan
   DeMarcus Cousins
2. Blake Griffin
   Kevin Love

Blake Griffin began his NBA career as a high flying monster, who could grab alley-oops and slam them down from anywhere around the basket. He changed his game in recent years, though, and has developed a three-point shot to help him fit into the modern NBA.

1. LaMarcus Aldridge
   Kemba Walker
2. Dwight Howard
   Joel Embiid

Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers suffered a devastating loss to the Toronto Raptors in Game 7 of the 2019 NBA Playoffs. Embiid's conditioning was called into question, which has inspired him to focus on getting in better shape heading into the 2019-20 season.

1. Damian Lillard
   Kyle Lowry
2. John Wall
   CJ McCollum

Damian Lillard had a great run in the first two rounds of the 2019 NBA Playoffs. However, in the Western Conference Finals, his Portland Trail Blazers went down in four games to the Golden State Warriors.

1. John Wall
   Bradley Beal
2. Kyle Lowry
   Kemba Walker

Bradley Beal has carried a Washington Wizards team that has struggled to find much success due to salary cap issues. Beal made his second straight All-Star Game in 2019, however, showing that he can be a major piece in a championship contender team.

1. Jimmy Butler
   Andre Drummond
2. LaMarcus Aldridge
   Rudy Gobert

When LaMarcus Aldridge first got to the San Antonio Spurs, expectations were high because he had the responsibility of replacing Spurs legend Tim Duncan. Aldridge ended up finding his own role on the team and has been a big reason they keep making playoff appearances.

1. Dwight Howard
   DeMarcus Cousins
2. Klay Thompson
   Kevin Love

While recovering from an injury, DeMarcus Cousins signed a one year deal with the Golden State Warriors in 2018. He became a significant contributor to the team, but injuries to other players kept the Warriors from winning their third straight championship.

1. Kyle Lowry
   Karl-Anthony Towns
2. John Wall
   Ben Simmons

Kyle Lowry isn't the flashiest player on the court, but he is one of the most determined. A double-digit scorer with a high basketball IQ, Lowry is one of the best at orchestrating an offense.

1. John Wall
   Jimmy Butler
2. CJ McCollum
   Kemba Walker

Prior to joining the pros in 2011, Kemba Walker won the NCAA championship with UConn. During that run to the championship, Walker put on some stellar performances and was named the NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player.

1. Karl-Anthony Towns
   Kevin Love
2. Dwight Howard
   Andrew Wiggins

There was a time when Dwight Howard was an MVP candidate and one of the most dominant players on both ends of the court. Though he can still produce at a high level, his inability to shoot three-pointers has been somewhat of a detriment for the big man in recent years.

1. Ben Simmons
   DeMar DeRozan
2. Klay Thompson
   CJ McCollum

Even though he had a stellar start to his career, Klay Thompson really exploded onto the scene in the 2012-13 season, the year he broke the record alongside Stephen Curry for the most threes by an NBA duo. They topped that record each of the next two seasons, finally winning an NBA title in 2015.

1. Khris Middleton
   Jimmy Butler
2. Kevin Love
   John Wall

John Wall is undoubtedly an All-Star caliber player when he's on the court, but he has spent much of the last two seasons recovering from injuries. Considering he signed a huge four-year deal in 2017, the Washington Wizards can only hope he gets back to form.

1. Karl-Anthony Towns
   Andrew Wiggins
2. Andre Drummond
   Ben Simmons

Coming out of Kentucky, Karl-Anthony Towns was the first overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft. In his first season, Towns averaged 18.3 points and 10.5 rebounds, earning him the NBA Rookie of the Year award.

1. Nikola Jokic
   Kevin Love
2. Rudy Gobert
   Al Horford

Prior to joining the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kevin Love was an MVP candidate with the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, once he joined LeBron James, Love had to take a step back and fit into a different role as they competed for championships.

1. Paul Millsap
   Jusuf Nurkic
2. Rudy Gobert
   Nikola Jokic

Nikola Jokic can do it all as a big man, but it's his vision that separates Jokic from other centers on the court. Always willing to set up his teammates, Jokic averaged 7.3 assists over the course of the 2018-19 season.

1. Andrew Wiggins
   Ben Simmons
2. DeMar DeRozan
   D'Angelo Russell

After signing a five-year contract extension worth $148 million with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Andrew Wiggins' heart has been called into question because he hasn't lived up to the contract. If he couldn't stay healthy would be one thing, but Wiggins' problem is more about consistency.

1. Rudy Gobert
   Andre Drummond
2. Al Horford
   Tobias Harris

Though he can score in the double digits, Andre Drummond's main focus has always been on the boards. He has led the league in rebounds three times in his career and has a career average of 13.7 rebounds per game.

1. Khris Middleton
   Devin Booker
2. Ben Simmons
   Andre Iguodala

Because of his size, ball handling skills and court visions, many analysts thought Ben Simmons would be the next LeBron James. He hasn't quite reached that level, though, because he can't shoot the ball from the outside to keep defenses honest.

1. Jimmy Butler
   D'Angelo Russell
2. Draymond Green
   Mike Conley Jr.

Looking to play for a title contender, Jimmy Butler forced his way out of Minnesota in 2018. He was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, where he became a closer for the team in the fourth quarter.

1. DeMar DeRozan
   CJ McCollum
2. Devin Booker
   Tobias Harris

It took CJ McCollum three years to work his way into a starting role with the Portland Trail Blazers. Once he earned that spot, however, he proved his worth, averaging over 20 points per game every year since he became a starter.

1. Derrick Rose
   Pau Gasol
2. Draymond Green
   Rudy Gobert

With a 7 feet, 9-inch wingspan, Rudy Gobert has the ability to clog the lanes on the defensive side of the court. Offensive players have a difficult time getting shots off over him, as he swats away ball after ball when they go up.

1. Chris Paul
   Kemba Walker
2. Kyrie Irving
   Russell Westbrook

Kyrie Irving demanded a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers after reaching the NBA Finals three times with the team. He hoped to lead his own squad to a title, as he was the sidekick to LeBron James in Cleveland, but he hasn't quite been able to do that yet.

1. Mike Conley Jr.
   D'Angelo Russell
2. Devin Booker
   Paul Millsap

Evidence of Devin Booker's potential was shown in 2019 when he scored at least 50 points in consecutive games against the Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards. Unfortunately, his team lost both of those games.

1. Andre Iguodala
   Khris Middleton
2. DeMar DeRozan
   Al Horford

DeMar DeRozan helped the Toronto Raptors reach the playoffs for five straight seasons. However, these appearances were during LeBron James' reign over the Eastern Conference, and the Raptors never made it to the NBA Finals.

1. Tobias Harris
   JJ Redick
2. Paul Millsap
   Mike Conley Jr.

Knowing they needed more three point shooting to complete the process in Philadelphia, the 76ers traded for Tobias Harris in 2019. The trade wasn't enough to get them to the NBA Finals, but they are one of the favorites going into the 2019-20 season.

1. Malcolm Brogdon
   Khris Middleton
2. Eric Bledsoe
   Derrick Rose

For a second-round selection, Khris Middleton has definitely played beyond expectations. He finally made his first All-Star Game in 2019 after averaging 18.3 points, six rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.

1. Pau Gasol
   Jayson Tatum
2. Gordon Hayward
   Al Horford

Prior to joining the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2019 offseason, Al Horford played for the Boston Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks. He helped each team reach the playoffs every season, except in 2014 with the Hawks.

1. D'Angelo Russell
   Draymond Green
2. Eric Bledsoe
   DeAndre Ayton

D'Angelo Russell came into his own during the 2018-19 season, making his first All-Star Game with the Brooklyn Nets. However, following the season, the Nets acquired Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, so they traded Russell to the Golden State Warriors.

1. Paul Millsap
   Mike Conley Jr.
2. Shaun Livingston
   Andre Iguodala

Andre Iguodala isn't one of the most glamorous players in the league, but he is one of the most accomplished. A three-time NBA champion, Iguodala was named the Finals MVP in 2015 after the Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers.

1. Paul George
   James Harden
2. Kawhi Leonard
   Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant's decision to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder to join the Golden State Warriors was heavily criticized by both his peers and analysts across the league. It wasn't that he left the Thunder but was more the fact that he joined a team that had won 73 games the year before.

1. Jayson Tatum
   Derrick Rose
2. Gordon Hayward
   Jaylen Brown

There was a time when Derrick Rose was one of the most athletic players the NBA had ever seen, even winning the NBA MVP in 2011. That season, Rose was electric on the court, averaging 25 points and 7.7 assists per game.

1. Paul Millsap
   Mike Conley Jr.
2. Draymond Green
   Ricky Rubio

Draymond Green has been an integral part of the Golden State Warriors' three NBA championships. Green plays both ends of the court and was named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2017.
