If we are talking about the players that already retire i will say Kevin Garnett and i did wrote a post here on Steemit about it more then two years ago.. i will add the link and since the post is so old i don't think it can count as spam: Kevin Garnett - the profile of a Champion, the image of a Legend!
If we are talking about active players then i will go for Lebron James. I think his mentality of a champion and his desire to win, plus his passion for the game brings him already to the Hall of Fame status and for sure he will be. I can write till tomorrow about him and this year with a new addition next to him i do think Lakers can reach the finals and why not win a championship... of course if he will remain healthy during the season and playoffs...
PS: I feel you when you are talking about the Jazz... but you never know...look at Raptors this year!
