2) Teammates of both Chicago Bulls legend MJ, and LeBron: Larry Hughes

Potentially the most notable name on this list that made the most noise during his NBA career, that also played alongside both LeBron and Jordan, is the 6-foot-5 and 185 pound shooting guard/wing Larry Hughes. The only years where Hughes was a Jordan teammate was in the early 2000’s with the Wizards.

The former St. Louis Billikens guard/wing and St. Louis, MO, native was the first round pick (eighth overall) of the Sixers in the 1998 NBA Draft. Hughes was also a one-time steals champ and a member of the 2004-05 NBA All-Defensive Team.

Hughes played with Jordan in the former Bulls great’s two seasons with the Wizards. In the nation’s capital, Hughes started to make some headway as a quality starter at the two or the three in the NBA. His career best 22.0 points per game in any regular season in his career for Hughes came during the 2004-05 campaign in D.C.

Moreover, Hughes played for eight different teams in his NBA career. Most of his career was spent with the Wizards, Warriors, and Cavaliers. He had a few seasons in Cleveland with LeBron as a teammate.

In more than 720 career regular season games played, Hughes averaged 14.1 points per game, 4.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.4 blocks. He shot 40.6 percent from the field, 30.9 percent from beyond the arc, and 75.7 percent from the free-throw line.
