    Lebron needs to win 2 more championships to even enter the Jordan conversation again, and he's hard pressed to win 1 right now... and if he creates a superteam it would just destroy his legacy even more as a front runner / sell out who listens to his little posse that is all about $ and not about winning.

    Teams make playoffs. Players dont.

    Likewise I'm pretty sure Michael Jordan was STILL the best player in the world in 1994, 1995 and 1999 even if he wasnt in the league.

    Kobe was obviously the best player in the world in 2006. The guy is a total but his talent cant be denied .

    And in 1994, when he wasn't even practicing basketball, he was the best player? LOL. People will do all they can to avoid giving Hakeem his due respect.

    Noticed how he said also Jordan was the best player in '99. Just a bitter suns fan taking shots at Duncan and Olaujuwon.

    And yes they did blow it. In '94 it was kinda taken from them but in '95 they choked, for certain.

    Actually a pretty good list, except for excluding 04 Garnett and for including 05 Kobe.

    Shaq was better than Kirby in 2005: Kirby missed the playoffs & was only All-NBA 3rd team.

    Shaq was absolutely the best player in the league in 05. Nash's first MVP was a joke

    Good list aside from the "dad killer" troll. Though I disagree with a few years:

    2002: I think it's Shaq/Duncan, not Shaq alone. Duncan was incredible that year.
    2005: A player who does not make the playoffs does not belong on the list. You could argue him for other years if you want.
    2008: I would say LeBron/Chris Paul. Paul was the real MVP that year imo. He was excellent.
    2011: No Dirk mention?

    I believe Kobe's best individual year was 2005... and that his prime years were not in 2009 and 2010 when he won the championships... and from 2000-2002 he was the beta to Shaq.

    I'm not saying the list is perfect, I'm open to other opinions. I could see the case for KG in 2004, and even in 2008 KG was a MONSTER that year.

    Obviously the list is just a matter of opinion... even having MJ as the best player in the world is "technically an opinion"
