Agreed, but then I'd have to go Bron-Dirk-Bron.
Cause Dirk's getting his championship year, dammit.

Tim Duncan is such a trip to me, man. What he accomplished in the first 7 years of his career (in the modern era) is absolutely insane....and doesn't get talked about a lot. Truly, on Par with Magic....just 17 years later.
20 & 10 All Star, ALL NBA FIRST TEAM as a rookie
Finals MVP his 2nd year
League MVP his 5th year
League MVP his 6th year
Finals MVP his 6th year
Finals MVP his 7th year
That's just insane man
. Imagine if LeBron did that. Hell, imagine if any perimeter player did that.
I'm sleep though.

I have no idea what criteria y'all are using. Sustained excellence + accolades + chips is what I'm using and by that measure Wavy had a perfect list. Duncan and Shaq ran the late early-mid 2000s, Kobe the mid-late 2000s, and Bron overall the beginning to mid 2010s.

Kobe 05-10. Keep it a buck. Those early teams were awful but he was putting up ridiculous numbers. Against everybody.

your first list made more sense. dont think the lebron era started till after 11... he was a top 5 player but not clearly the best in the game any of those years...i also dont ever think kg was the best player in the l at any point in his career . subjective tho , yeah i know.

Lebron hasn't been the best player for 10years, to me.
No way.

The teams featuring Shaq and Duncan were PROBLEMS for the league in the era Wavy listed.
The mid-late 2000s, we, the Lakers, were not a problem for the league. One of those years we missed the playoffs for the first time in forever by having the 5th worst Lakers record ever, and another year we were basically 50/50 and out in the first round after being up 3-1.
In no way was Kobe crushing the league and our squad was a problem for the league for as long a time as Wavy tried to sell.

Minus Wade too.
Not to mention Bosh is questionable.
These guys getting too old to seriously be an answer to this Warriors team.
Its not weird
Its straight up disrespect.

Nah, I love the discussion. I had thought about KG originally but went with Duncan for a longer stretch, then when I saw someone mention Duncan, I thought "Yeah, maybe he should be on there." So I put the 08 championship year.your first list made more sense. dont think the lebron era started till after 11... he was a top 5 player but not clearly the best in the game any of those years...i also dont ever think kg was the best player in the l at any point in his career . subjective tho , yeah i know.

The NBA is so different nowadays. I think Kevin Love was the tallest guy to step on the court the whole game and when he's not there, KD is the tallest guy on the court.
Some spurts, LeBron was the tallest guy for his team, and he's bringing the ball up. Literally 5 guys on the perimeter and no one is inside.

really what does that matter though. shaq might of been the most dominant big man we've seen yet was a liability when the game was on the line.
just not his game.
i do agree that lbj wasnt the clear cut best in the world till after the 10s.

Bean was the only player in the league to make All NBA 1st team and All NBA Defense 1st team from 06-10. Gets an MVP, 2 scoring titles, 2 rings, 2 Finals MVPs yet wasn't the best for that stretch? Wash ya faces.

He was giving teams 40 nightly tho. Tons of buckets to get wins. He had sewage as teammates. Plus he played in the west. Not locked he played against the weak east night in and night out. He was still the best player but there were also great players on better teams.

All that needs to be said.
And to not have MVP in some of those years is just downright laughable, yet folks think the "rules just changed recently" for Russ.
Man the rules aren't even rules, MVP is a crock no matter what *rules you want to assign it.
