<h1>There are only four people left in active duty:</h1>
Number one: LeBron James
James was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the 1st pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA Draft and was named NBA Regular Season Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2009 and 2010. In 2010, James moved to the Miami Heat. In 2012, James won the third regular season MVP, the first championship and finals MVP of his NBA career, and won the London Olympic gold medal for the U.S. men's basketball team, equaling the record set by Michael Jordan in 1992. In 2013, James won his fourth regular season MVP, his second NBA championship and his second Finals MVP, achieving two consecutive championships. In 2014, James returned to the Cavaliers. In 2016, James led the Cavaliers to a comeback victory over defending champion Warriors to win the first championship in team history and his third finals MVP. On July 10, 2018, James officially signed a four-year, $153 million contract with the Lakers.
Second place: Cameron Anthony
In 2003, Anthony led Syracuse University to the NCAA championship. He competed in the 2003 NBA Draft in the same year, was selected by the Denver Nuggets with the third overall pick in the first round, and was named MVP of the NBA Rookie Challenge in 2005. He led the Nuggets to the Western Conference Finals in 2009, was traded to the New York Knicks in February 2012, and was named the NBA regular season scorer in the 2012–13 season. He was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder in September 2017, joined the Houston Rockets in August 2018, and joined the Portland Trail Blazers in November 2019. He has been named to the NBA All-Star Team 10 times in his career, twice to the NBA All-NBA Team Second Team, and four times to the NBA All-NBA All-Star Team Three. [1]
As a member of the "Dream Team" of the American men's basketball team, Anthony has represented the American team in four Olympic Games, winning three gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the 2012 London Olympic Games, and the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, and is the top scorer and the player who has won the most gold medals in the history of the American team. After the Rio Olympics, Anthony announced his retirement from the U.S. national team.
Third place: Uduñis Haslem
After losing the 2002 NBA Draft, Haslem played in the French league for a year. He joined the Miami Heat on August 6, 2003 and was named to the Rookie Team for the Rookie Season. After joining the Heat, partner Shaquille O'Neal allowed his stats to rise rapidly. In 2006 , Haslem helped his team win its first championship in franchise history.
At the beginning of the 2006–07 season, with the increasing number of injuries to Dwyane Wade and the departure of O'Neal, the team's record has been difficult to achieve. In 2010, LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined the team, and Haslem also chose to cut his salary to stay in the team. In 2012 and 2013, he helped the Heat win the championship.
Haslem is not tall enough as an interior lineman, scoring methods are mainly empty jump shots and secondary offense, fierce defense, and active rebounding. Weak capping ability, not afraid to fight against the inside line of height and weight, and his iron-blooded style has won him a lot of praise.
Fourth place: Kyle Korver
In the 2003 NBA Draft, Kyle Korver was drafted by the Brooklyn Nets at no. 51 in the second round and then sent to the Philadelphia 76ers. He has played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Utah Jazz, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Milwaukee Bucks in a career of 127 consecutive three-pointers on March 6, 2014, and was named to the NBA All-Star Team in 2015 and won the 2014–15 NBA Sportsmanship Award.
