I could come up with a long list of former players including Oscar Robertson, Bill Walton, Julius Erving ( The pride of UMASS), Larry Bird, Hakeem Olajuwon, Kevin McHale, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippin, Tim Duncan, Bob Cousy, John Havlicek, and of course Bill Russell.
In todays modern era, I can only come up with one player, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
