It's not trolling if you don't believe they are top 10...

Pretty good list though. Should probably have some Karl Malone season up there though.

I expected to come here and see either bron or kobe in OP, I left surprised. Karl could be there somewhere probably.

[Svendiggity]

dirk in 2011 was the most amazing run I've seen by an individual. shooting nearly 50 percent on almost all contested jumpers

Wade in 2006 was amazing too but I didn't follow it as much as I did in 2011 so it's more of a vague memory. but it was probably just as good

[LAZERUSS]

McAdoo's '73-74, '74-75, and '75-76 seasons. And his '75-76 season was one of the greatest in NBA history (including the playoffs.)

BTW, for those that would claim his scoring was "inflated"...

In his '74-75 season, he averaged 34.5 ppg on a .512 FG%, in a league that averaged 102.6 ppg on a .457 eFG%. Compare that with this past season...

100.0 ppg on an eFG% of .496.

[SuperPippen]

West peaked in the 1970 season. Should've won MVP that year.

Most underrated peak ever.

Sir Charles Barkley in 88'
28-12-3 on 59% 1.3 bpg, 1.3 spg, 27.6 PER

Obvious recent selections:

Durant 14'
Wade 09'

[Young X]

'09 CP3

22.8 - 11.0 - 5.5 - 2.8 (124 ORtg - 30.0 PER)

[ClipperRevival]

David Robinson 94 or 95 ?

Robinson from 1994 - 1996 (3 seasons) had a PER of 29.8 (led league all 3 seasons). Like Davis, today, he really filled up tne stat sheets.

[riseagainst]

09-15 Lebron :oldlol:

:lol
:roll:

[SHAQisGOAT]

No particular order...

'77 Walton
'83 Moses
'93 Barkley
'76 Dr J
'64 Big O
'14 Durant
'65 or '66 West
'95 D-Rob
'04 KG
'75 Barry

Factoring post-season play more than anything else, '11 Dirk definitely has to be there... Bounce off David Robinson or something.

Edit: Forgot to mention '63 Baylor and '97 Malone. Wade also had a terrific peak.

[RRR3]

03 McGrady :dancin




What about 12 Chalmers though, OP?

[Round Mound]

1990 Charles Barkley should also be mentioned.
