:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

2 assists, 6 TOs, worst +/- on the team & worst ORtg among the starters by a mile in the biggest game of the season: http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200505280SAS.html

where does wardell's 2015 0r 2016 peak rank?

We need to see more of his career. He played like a mad man 4/5 of the session with that one fifth being playoffs. I wouldn't rank him high until he actually dominated a final. That's why Kirby gets a low rank, peak occurred outside finals.

Good list.

Switch TD and Shaq though.

Just because fat fuck Shaq got away

with BLATANT OFFENSIVE fouls all those

years, don't make the fat fuck's padded stats great.

[Gummi Clutch]

06-07 Kobe

97' Jordan

03' Duncan

12' Lebron

11' Dirk

06' Wade if you count 40 FTs

[barbacoataco]

The list is pretty good. DRobinson at 16 is about right. Steve Nash is way too high. Lebron should he higher, but the list at the top is pretty competitive. The top 10 guys are all really strong.

[barbacoataco]

Julius Erving was often considered the best ever while playing, maybe should be higher. I know he didn't play a lot of defense, but it was a different era.

[ElNono]

2011 - Monosylabik
2013 - HarlemHeat37 (& Timmy2Zo, tbh)
2012 - m>s
2009 - DOK
2014 - DMC
2010 - Kool
2008 - Crippler
2006 - Luva
1879 - Thread/Culburn

IMO

[Clipper Nation]

:lol DK over Shaq
:lol Russell, Kobe, Nash and Choke Paul on the list at all

[Killakobe81]

Not a bad list ...but its just a list ...

[Killakobe81]

I actually agree on shaq as #2 wish he maintained it longer ...
But lol on "voting"

[dbreiden83080]

where does wardell's 2015 0r 2016 peak rank?
Since he lost in the Finals, somewhere around Steve Nash.

[DMC]

Where is Isiah Thomas?
Probably sucking Magic's last T cells from his cock.

One on five to be honest, especially when Chandler and West got injured in game 5.

[spursistan]

.most of these all-time greats on the list reached their highest ceiling of performance at avg age of 27-28..

since the Spurs are probably not winning a title with current roster surrounding him, I'm most intrigued by how Kawhi's peak will turn out in next 2/3 years..He just turned 25 and his rate of development has been staggering: From a hopeful 3&D guy in 2011 to an MVP candidate and bonafide top 5 player in the league in 2016 :lol..

The deepest playoff run gotta be worth something! ;)

[Arcadian]

03 Duncan has to be top 5. Better than Magic's peak.

[Killakobe81]

03 Duncan has to be top 5. Better than Magic's peak.

Of course you think it is!!!

[Donkeybong]

I'd take 2000 Shaq over anyone. He was just a monster.

[I. Hustle]

Best peaks? I think either of the Vanessas. Macias or Bryant. Both have magnificent peaks.

[Fabbs]

How would you guys rank NBA peaks, tbh?
How are you defining "peaks".
Best playoff year?
Best reg season year?

year(s)?

[Arcadian]

Of course you think it is!!!

Of course you disagree :lol
