Honorable Mention: Larry Bird, NBA

The UCLA and Los Angeles Laker legend was an overwhelming force at both the collegiate and professional levels. His six MVP trophies are the most won by a player in league history, fitting in perfectly with his six NBA championship rings. Abdul-Jabbar’s name has become synonymous with his patented “sky hook”, an unblockable shot that helped him become the league’s all-time leading scorer. He edges out Larry Legend by just a smidgen on basketball’s all-time ranking, in large part due to KAJ’s extraordinary longevity in the sport.
