Giannis
James/Jordan or Jordan/James - bit of a wash for me. But if it came down to it final moments, in the half court, I wouldn’t want Jordan guarding my team’s go to guy. More of a killer mentality.

Giannis >> Lebron > Jordan
Giannis is clearly the best defender of the bunch, he's the most versatile and is basically the perfect defender in the modern NBA, he's long enough, athletic enough and strong enough to guard basically anyone. An offensive player might be faster or stronger than him but he can still cover them effectively due to his athletecism, height and wingspan. Lebron is more versatile than Jordan but lacks the length of Giannis. Jordan is the the best at guarding small guards and probably the best 1 on 1 defender on the wing but I'd rather have Lebron or Giannis as defenders due to their versatility and incredible help defense.
