Your five GOAT peak seasons

[IncarceratedBob]

Not sure which year is the best for LeBron but he's easily top 5. Dominated the league as few ever did

[ClipperRevival]

Everyone chooses 91' MJ. Just wondering why? Was it his higher than usual apg numbers in the playoffs, especially against the Lakers? I thought he peaked in 1993 personally.

[AintNoSunshine]

00-01 Kobe
02-03 Kobe
05-06 Kobe
06-07 Kobe
07-08 Kobe

And a combined zero MVP to show for it.

that and the better fg%

[Dr Hawk]

What about 89 as Jordan's peak? He was insane that year

Regular season stats:

32.5/8/8/2.9 steals .538 FG% .614 TS%

Playoff stats through 17 games (long run):

34.8/7/7.6/2.5 steals .51 FG% .602 TS%

No ring but what else he could do, insane year

[Odinn]

Jordan '91
Shaq '00
Hakeem '94
Kareem '77
Bird '86 or Wilt '67

HM: '03 Duncan and '12 LeBron

[Mawly-G]

Durant's MVP season was pretty insane.

Beat the 2nd and 3rd seed as the much inferior 7th seed without HCA in either series. Insane.

[HOoopCityJones]

09 Kobe.

fucc everyone else.

[Dr Hawk]

Beat the 2nd and 3rd seed as the much inferior 7th seed without HCA in either series. Insane.

Yeah man.

He also forced 6 games against the Bad Boys in the Eastern Conference Finals.

He had an insane Game 3 in that series:

46/7/5/5 steals .615 FG% (16/26) .706 TS% 143 ORtg 106 DRtg

38.2 USG% 5.8 TOV%

Chicago got the W

[Badazzwriter]

00-01 Kobe
02-03 Kobe
05-06 Kobe
06-07 Kobe
07-08 Kobe

thats actually true

[ClipperRevival]

I'll take 93 MJ. The guy went off in the playoffs that year, averaging 35 ppg and something like 42 ppg in the finals. Granted, MJ was more efficient in 1991 but I thought MJ was at his best in 1993.

Pick your year, who cares. I actually think 90 MJ was his peak ability as a basketball player; he broke through in 91 simply because his team was better.
