    The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
    My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!

Many players are incapable of entering the league at 18 now that the rule has been changed.

    Although this was a great video and I mostly agree with this list, I strongly disagree with 2013 LeBron James at #8. This was the most complete LeBron we've ever seen, he shot incredibly efficient, and he led the Heat to 66 wins and a 27 game win streak. 2013 LeBron was arguably the greatest basketball player ever, as he now had a good post game and an elite 3pt shot, while being at his athletic and defensive peak. And he was runner up in DPOY and a vote away from unanimous MVP. I think this season should've been at least in the top 5. Although I really did enjoy this video and I can't wait until you get 100k, which will be well deserved!

    I would've included Moses Malone's 81/82 season as an honorable mention. With 31.1 PPG, 14.7 RPG, 1.5 BPG and 52% he played a killer season. But maybe I'm a little bit biased because Malone is far too underrated in my book. But it's a great list nevertheless.

    You should do best seasons from players that didn't win MVP

      @@Aggelaki777 In 63 his team only won 31 games man - his 40+ppg did not get the wins - same reason why MJ didn't win the MVP in 87
      He was getting beaten by Oscar and Bill, those guys were just as impressive (or very close) statistically as Wilt yet their teams won more games don't forget Wilt's era had so many available stats it's crazy (compared to mid to late 90's teams took 25 more shots, missed more shots and there were 30 more team rebounds available, points is similar

      @@bobbyd1632 oh yeah, but even if your team isn't amazing you get the mvp for 50ppg. it was up to the players to vote and none of them liked him so someone else won instead.

      @@Aggelaki777 Hey man I'm not arguing on the one season 1962 I think it was (his team won 45+ games) and he was 50/25 - Bill won it that year and his team won 60-62 games ( and I think Bill's team beat Wilts Philly easily). For me that was a tough call. But every other year Wilt didn't win the MVP I agree completely when you look at the other players who won

    Wilt 1967: If all awards existed:
    MVP
    DPOTY
    Finals MVP
    I got Wilt 1967 as the greatest season ever.

      Yeah add to that leading the league in rebs, asts, blks, FG%, and win shares. Certainly a strong choice for best MVP season ever.
