Tier S: Lebron James(12-14)
Tier A: Shaq(00-02), Curry(15-17), Jokic(21-23), KG(02-04), Duncan(01-03)
Tier B: Kobe(06-08), Giannis(19-21), Durant(16-18), Wade(09-11), Chris Paul(13-15), Steve Nash(05-07), Dirk Nowitzki(09-11), James Harden(18-20)
Jokic and Shaq move up.
Durant and Giannis move up
Kawhi/AD peaked higher than some of these guys
Thanks for ur awesome list dude, great content
i would put shaq and jokic peaks on S tier
Shaq’s peak is higher than LeBron’s if it’s just 3 years.
Hate it all you want but Jokic 3 year peak is at or above lebrons 3 year peak from those seasons lol.
Putting into these types of tiers is silly anyways. Hardens peak is high even if people hate him. Only guy to put fear into KD warriors teams with Kawhi in b2b seasons boosts his peak a lot. No one else was touching those teams. What he did vs them is better than most teams title runs.
Kobe’s peak was 01-03 imo and in Tier A. So is KD. Shaq is on LeBron’s tier
Kawhi should be in tier B especially if Harden and CP3 are there. I could even see an argument for tier A though he doesn’t have the durability
I’ve always said I take peak Shaq over literally any other player in NBA history, including MJ, including LeBron. Too ridiculous, and so easy to build around.
whatever luka is doing already surpassed harden
Shaq averaged 37/17/2, 33/16/5, 36/12/4 on close to 60% shooting and 3 blocks in each finals when most teams struggled to score 90.
He’s number 1 and it’s not close
Serious question: How is Jokic getting in Toer A and Giannis in Tier B when they had near identical 3 year periods in terms of achievements, except Giannis also was DPOY?
Shaqs peak has to be equal to LeBron. I mean come on. They should be together or Shaq should be above LeBron if anything. If we’re talking 3 years.
Now imagine if Bron had Kobe
Dirk '05 to '07 was maybe even better. He arguably should have won 3 straight MVPs. He was a man possessed in 2011 though, never seen anything like it before or since.
LBJ definitely deserves Tier S, no doubt about it. But Shaq? Really? Dude was just big and could bully people in the paint. And where’s Kawhi on this list? He won a finals MVP back to back! SMH
