#3 Giannis Antetokounmpo: 2016-17
Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the most impressive players in the NBA today. Winning his first NBA Championship and Finals MVP in the 2020-21 season with the Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis is a true inspiration to players all around the world.

As Giannis continues to develop as a player and dominates on both ends of the floor, it is a wonder as to how high his ceiling really is.
#4 Alvan Adams: 1975-76
Alvan Adams was drafted by the Phoenix Suns in 1975. Over the course of a 13 year career he would stay with the franchise and also take them to the NBA Finals alongside Paul Westphal.
Alvan Adams played center and power forward in his time with the Suns. Over his career, he has averaged 14.1 points, seven rebounds and 4.1 assists.
Adams had a game that would've been suited to the modern NBA. Playing as essentially a stretch four, Adams was able to shoot the ball from distance while also effectively distributing it out of the low post.
In his rookie season, Alvan Adams recorded 1,519 points, 727 rebounds, 450 assists, 121 steals and 116 blocks. In the process of recording these numbers, Adams won the NBA Rookie of the Year award.
#5 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: 1975-76
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is one of the greatest big men in NBA history. Playing for the Milwaukee Bucks and LA Lakers over the course of his 20 year career, he is the NBA's All-Time Points leader with 38,387 points. He is also a six-time MVP and six-time NBA Champion.

To add to all his awards, his statline for the 1975-76 season saw him record 2,275 points, 1,383 rebounds, 413 assists, 119 steals and 338 blocks.
The unreal statline was in his first season with the LA Lakers. To top it off, he also went on to win the MVP Award.
#6 Kevin Garnett: 1999-2001, 2002-2005
Kevin Garnett is one of the most skilled and dominant big men in NBA history. With his intensity and defensive mindset, Garnett was a threat on both ends of the floor. With a penchant for mind games and trash talk, Garnett was a beast on the court.
Drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 1995 NBA Draft, Garnett joined the league fresh out of high school and immediately made an impact for the team. Turning the Timberwolves into a playoff team in his second year, Garnett was a rare talent.
What makes Garnett great, however, can be seen in his durability and consistency to produce on both ends of the floor. All the other players on this list were able to do both and at a very high level. But Garnett did it five times.
Barring the 2001-02 season, from 2000-2005, Garnett recorded over 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 400 assists, 100 steals and 100 blocks for each season. His numbers are as follows:

2003-04: 1,987 points, 1,139 rebounds, 409 assists, 120 steals, 178 blocks
2004-05: 1,817 points, 1,108 rebounds, 466 assists, 121 steals, 112 blocks
For his performance in the 2003-04 season, Garnett was named NBA MVP. He went on to join the Boston Celtics where he would become NBA Champion in the 2008 NBA Finals.
