#1 is easy. Jason Kidd, who I was lucky enough to see in person at St. Joe's HS in Alameda, CA.... 70 games' worth. He did things that, even 30+ years later, you almost never see done in high school hoops. For the opponents, it was like playing 5 on 6. His passing and court vision were (and still are) the stuff of legend...

#2, Steph Curry. Revolutionized the game with his long-range shooting.

#3 Magic Johnson. Jason Kidd's childhood idol, nuff said.

John Wall - Most electric PG I've watched in-person... in his prime, I'm not sure you could find anyone faster
Kemba Walker - Of course
Rajon Rondo - One of the best passers of all time, highly underrated

Wilt………….because I loved him while hating the Celtics.

Jim McMillian….because I guarded him in college and held him to 2 points.

Geoff Petrie…..because I guarded him in college and held him to (oops) 32.

Allen Iverson is the reason I started following basketball and the NBA, he’s my favorite of all time. A flat 6’ (probably less), skinny, and he was absolutely unstoppable

#2 is Kemba Walker. Mostly for obvious reasons but similar feelings on a small guard that was able to work his way into being an offensive weapon

#3 is tough. I’m a Nuggets fan so Melo and Jokic come to mind. Also a huge fan of stars like Kobe, Derrick Rose, Hakeem, Dirk. For some reason I’ve really liked random players over the years like Monta Ellis, Danny Granger, Josh Smith, Rashard Lewis.

But I think I’ll have to go Steph Curry. His greatness is obvious even if you don’t watch the games, but if you watch Warriors games over the years and focus on only him, it’s pure magic

Bird, Magic and Jordan in that order.
