    Started watching it in High school. (I'm 26.)

    2010-14 - Kevin Love
    2014 - 2016 - Lebron James
    2016 - 2021 - Karl Anthony Towns

    I vaguely knew about Kobe Bryant as a kid in the way non-tennis fans know who Federer is and non-golf fans know about Tiger Woods.
    My one regret is that I didn't get into the NBA a tiny bit younger, and would have gotten to watch the 08' and 10' finals live.

    First finals I ever tuned into were the Heat - Dallas finals. (Watched 2-3 Replays the day after, because they were aired late at night in Israel.)

    Actually playing:
    1994-97 Shaq - had his rookie card as a kid
    1997-1998 - Jordan - he had become impossible to ignore esp after so many titles and space jam
    1998-2000 - Shaq - Still dominating after MJ
    2001 Jordan coming back
    2002-2004 Iverson - "cool"
    2005-2007 LeBron - local hero but eventually got tired of his pound the ball at the top of the 3 point line while 4 guys stand still
    2007-2009 Duncan - learned to respect fundamentals without flash
    2009-2016 Kobe - mamba mentality, really cultivates a winning attitude
    2016-2018 Kyrie - Best finishing guard I've seen, despite his flat earth weirdness
    2019-2021 Embiid - I like his passion for the game and my actual favorite position is center

    All-time:
    1994-97 Shaq - again, rookie card
    1997-2001 Jordan - again, impossible to ignore
    2002-2004 Iverson - again, "cool"
    2005-2006 LeBron - again local hero
    2006-present Wilt Chamberlain - most dominant ever, jaw dropping stats and stories - collecting footage and testimony only revealed more and more greatness

    OP had me thinking , because it has been so many years -
    I had to leave off Pistol Pete , Iverson , Clyde , Moses (But I loved watching them all)
    Please remember prior to cable or weekly TV I was at the MECCA watching the Bucks every season.
    69-72 Lucius Allen (My game was tailored to his)
    73-75 Dr. j
    76-78 Earl the Pearl
    79-83 way to many players
    83-84 Paul Pressey
    85-87 Ricky Pierce
    88-92 Akeem
    92-98 MJ
    (92-93) Drexler
    98-03 Karl Malone
    04-15 Dwade
    16-21 Giannis

    fun audio of Allen talking about the Bucks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-qrBduv7k0
