40. George Mikan
George Mikan revolutionized the center position by towering over opponents with his 6’10” frame. Dominating the paint with his hook shot and rebounding prowess, he led the Minneapolis Lakers to five championships in the 1940s and 1950s. Famous for scoring and shot-blocking, he was the NBA’s first true superstar.
Named an All-Star four times and a three-time scoring champion, George’s impact on the game was immense. The two-time NBL champion’s presence on the court forced rule changes, including introducing the goaltending rule and widening the lane, cementing his legendary status.
