rank the top 5 players mj and bron beat in the finals.

[Bronbron23]

1. Magic johnson: he was only 31 and still putting up around 20 and 12
2. Charles barkley: in his prime and a mvp that year and an absolute beast
3. Kd: he was young but still a great scorer.
4. Steph curry. Unanimous mvp that year but hes always underperformed in the finals.
5. Clyde drexler: in his prime so Could easily be considered better than young kd and finals steph but it just didnt seem right.

This obviously isnt a overall top player list. Both kd and steph would be ahead of barkley. Its strictly comparing each player at that time. 93 Mvp barkley was better than 23 year old kd and almost any version of a finals steph.

So 07 Duncan wasnt better than Steph Curry?

3. Barkley
4. KD
5. Malone

lol @ Curry at 4 he literally had one of the greatest regular seasons ever :facepalm

[SouBeachTalents]

This seems like a really disingenuous way to look at things. If you made this thread about Durant or Curry I'm sure 2018 LeBron would be the top choice for many, but does them beating the 2018 Cavs as humongous favorites make their Finals win more impressive than the likes of '93 Jordan or '06 Wade? Context matters, as does the rest of the team these guys were facing

[OrlandoMagicGuy]

1.Charles Barkley
2.Karl Malone
3.Clyde Drexler
4.Kevin Durant
5.Magic Johnson

Magic was already a 5-time nba champion by the time the bulls made their maiden finals run in 1991. But for sure, he was on a great decline by the start of that decade.

[Roundball_Rock]

1) Magic
2) Duncan
3) Durant
4) Malone
5) Barkley

91 Magic with Aids and retiring? Or what?

Nothing tops unam mvp curry

Best regular season in the sport of the game. Seventy theee wins with a unam mvp and only player to grab a 50/40/90 with 30 points scoring loads

And do not @ me you dont want that path

I'll take Payton and Kemp over Drexler, thank you very much.

Barkley's performance was appreciably worse in the playoffs and worse than KD that year, if we're talking just the playoffs.
