NBA fans have had the privilege of watching some of the best players in the world play in the league. Out of various legends of the game, choosing just 5 is a tedious task. However, some names like Michael Jordan and LeBron James are always in the mix.

Interestingly enough, former college basketball star, Adriana Hahn feels otherwise. When asked about her all-time starting 5, she made some interesting choices. Although she named Kobe Bryant in her lineup, she excluded the likes of Jordan, LeBron, and even Shaquille O’Neal!

Former college star skips Michael Jordan and LeBron James in her starting 5

One of the biggest debates in the world of basketball is the Michael Jordan vs LeBron James debate. Although the two belong to two very different eras, fans and analysts can’t get enough of comparing them.

Despite all the comparisons, the greatness of both the players cannot be undermined. While Jordan has 6 NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls, LeBron has 4 with 3 different teams. Similarly, Shaquille O’Neal is regarded as the best center to ever play in the NBA.

However, basketball star Adrianna Hahn does not feel like including these 3 in her starting 5. Talking about what would be her ideal starting lineup, she made some interesting choices.

Hahn said, “Kobe Bryant and that was my number 1 in terms of player of all time. Person, personality, demeanour, mentality, I mean, no question. Point guard wise, overall I love Steve Nash. I’m a huge Larry Bird fan. Steph Curry! One more….I’m gonna go with Kevin Durant.“

Although it is completely her own opinion regarding the starting 5, it is very surprising to see someone not name Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Shaq in her lineup.
