In the 90‘s, it was the common opinion that Michael Jordan was the best player in the league, even if he didnt win the MVP every season. So at least from 1991-1998, Jordan was the leagues best player.

But after 1998, which players would you say held the unofficial title of „the best player in the league“? What were the time spans between the respective passing the torch?

    I think this is the most accurate timeline. Duncan and the spurs won the finals after Jordan retired.

    Shaq won a mvp and then 3 peated. From 99-01

    Duncan won 2 mvps and a few more titles up from 02- 07.

    Then Kobe won his mvp and 2/3 finals. From 08-10

    Next Lebron won his mvps and made 8 straight trips to the finals. From 2010-2018

    After he left the cavs, it was a toss up. Between kawhai, Durant, curry, Giannis.

    And then jokic has won back to back mvps followed by a finals run.
