HoopsHype: The Peak GOATs; Ranking The NBA's Best At Their Best

[TD 21]

NBA ranking: The best five-year peaks in NBA history

14. Duncan
16. M. Malone
17. Robinson

Too high: Olajuwon, Russell, Bryant, Curry

Too low: Duncan, Robinson, Garnett

Replete with the usual inconsistent messaging out of them. In addition to their metric they cite, there's no clear criteria (regular season or playoffs counting/advanced stats? accolades? narrative? popularity?).

Giannis is way too high as well. I have no problems with curry being that high. He did absolutely change the game. If anything I’d say he should be higher.

Hakeem I can see, the advanced stats don’t back it up but the narratives are most definitely there.

For me,
Jordan, lebron, bird, shaq, Jokic, duncan, curry. In that order.
