Wilt Chamberlain

A decently long break

Michael Jordan

Kareem Abdul Jabbar

Kobe Bryant

Larry Bird

LeBron James

Shaquille oneal

Steph Curry

Giannis ant..eto..koun...mpo

Nikola jokic

I think the last two break the mold that today's greats wouldn't stand a chance in previous decades leagues, Steph may not have survived, but giannis and Nikola would've wrecked 90s basketball.

And #11 goes to dirk nowitzki, because my grandma was in Sacramento for a doctor's visit when the Mavericks were in town, and she got in an elevator with him (she had no idea), and she hit him with "you're so tall, do you play basketball?" (She was like 85 at the time) and he was apparently super sweet to her, we had to look up who was in town that night and gave her a lineup of faces, yup, she picked out one of the taller people in the NBA! I bet he was a mountain compared to her!
