Today, Yahoo Sports reporter Ben Rohrbach ranked the first choices of NBA teams.

The author defines the first choice as follows:

He is the boss of the team - sometimes by character, but always by strength. In an ideal world, everyone recognizes him as the team's number one; teammates follow his lead, and opponents make him a top priority in their game plan. At critical moments, the ball usually has to be handed over to the top star. When the team is hit by a wave of offensive climax by the opponent, he can help you stabilize the position. When the offensive possession gets chaotic, he can step up and turn the tide. He always scores his own points.

They have different styles, but when you see him, you know it's him. Whether it’s LeBron James or Larry Bird; Michael Jordan or Moses Malone; Magic Johnson or Tim Duncan. No matter what form it takes, he is pursuing the highest honor of joining the Pantheon, because you can't go down in history as a second-in-command.
