Didn't I answer this in the OP?
I mis-labeled a "Mike Johnson" (it was Mike Mitchell I was thinking of; will edit); and I also forgot about Mike Conley and Bibby.
So, aside from the obvious GOAT candidate by that name, we could choose:
Michael Cooper (8x All-Defensive, 1x DPOY)
Mike Conley (1x All-Star, but obviously worthy of it more than that; 1x All-Defensive; 20.5 ppg/6.2 apg/only 2.0 topg thru three best years)
Mike Bibby (never an All-Star, but was one of the featured "big" players on a damn good team, averaging pretty close to 20/6 thru his three best seasons)
Michael Finley (2x All-Star, 5 consecutive seasons >20 ppg, adapted well to smaller role on title team later in career)
Mike Mitchell (had mis-called him Mike Johnson in OP [edited]; 1x All-Star who averaged 22.3/6.3 over a 7-year span in the 80s [some of that for decent teams])
Michael Redd (1x All-Star, 6 consecutive seasons >20 pgg [two >25 ppg])
Micheal Ray Richardson (3x All-Star, twice led league in steals, once led league in assists)
Micheal Williams (averaged 14.6 ppg/8.1 apg/2.3 spg over his three best seasons [albeit for mediocre-poor teams])
Mychal Thompson (was once nearly a 21/12/4 player for a fair-decent team, transitioned well to a lesser but solid contributor to a contender later)
Mike Brown
Michael Cage
Michael Adams
Michael Carter-Williams
Michael Olowokandi
Micheal Beasley
You don't see that as overly loaded compared to other names (again, considering we can stack Michael Jordan on top)?
Isn't Kevin better?
Kevin Garnett
Kevin Durant
Kevin Love
Kevin McHale
Kevin Johnson
Kevin Martin

Nash and Curry literally have the same name, don't really care about the others, can fill with more Pauls, too stacked.

Holy cow, I actually never knew Stephen was only his middle name. Well yes, then DEFINITELY disqualifying it (had done so already just due to differing pronunciation; this detail surely puts the cap on it).
