Best Player From Every Decade In NBA History - Sport
Disagree with any of our picks? Let us know what you think.
How can you specify "BEST PLAYER" and still put Bill Russell over Wilt Chamberlain!?
I have some questions over how this video isn't reaching a million views
I disagree with Kobe Bryant over Tim Duncan for the best player for the 2000s
@@autumn8676 Kobe lead the lakers to two championship without shaq help and drop 81 points and score way more points than anyone in the 2000's
bird & tuncan than magic & kobe
Funny how breaking it down by decades means a player like Shaq gets forgotten. If the "decade" was 1995 to 2005, Shaq would've most definitely been at the top. But Shaq shared most of the 90s with MJ, and was on the decline after 2005. So...
Shaq is a good player a super star even but not close to the best player of the decade
Hell nah. MJ and the bulls completely ruled the NBA until 1998. Maybe still 1999-2005 shaq would've be the best player
@@patrickbatemansrightbuttch9897 only because its front loaded? shaq was an absolute monster to start the 2000s go look at him finals avgs it's insane. but he quickly fell off by 2005 he wasn't anywhere close to being that dominant. that's what the og comment means if shaq starts in 2000 instead of 1995 he would of easily been the best player of the 2000s
I feel you. If it was broken down by every 5 years, Shaq would have been the guy from 2000-2005.
For the most part, MJ was still the best from 95-98, then Shaq from 98-02, in the 02-03 season Kobe was just better simply because Shaq didn't play as much and he came into his own, too bad Kobe got injured in the 03-04 season on his shooting arm and was forced to play injured in the playoffs, they would have won against the spurs had they both been fully healthy.
Mikan, Kareem, Magic, Kobe, LeBron. All played for the Lakers. Amazing. And I am a GSW fan.

2000 Finals MVP Shaq
2001 Finals MVP Shaq
2002 Finals MVP Shaq
2006 Champion Shaq
@@Soldier979 Shaq was dominate in the paint but Kobe won those games with his 2 way basketball skills. You dont have a 3-peat with out Kobe. 2006 MVP was Kobe Bryant i don't care how good Steve Nash was. Straight robbery. Kobe was basketball in the 2000's.
@@Soldier979 you’re not wrong and Shaq was incredibly clutch. However Kobe also led all playoff players in fourth quarter scoring in the 2001 and 2002 playoff runs and averaged 28 ppg to shaqs 29 ppg. Not to mention a number of games shaq fouled out or was pulled on the fourth during those playoff runs due to hack a shaq and gave up a lot of points on defense. Shaq never won before playing with Kobe as well and rarely found success after despite playing with incredible talent almost every year he was in the league. It’s easy to knock Kobe but it can be easy to knock shaq too. That’s what makes them a duo
@@StephenDeiss 2000-2002 Shaq era
2003-2007 Duncan era
2008-2010 Kobe era
@@StephenDeiss "X doesn't win Y without Z" is such a bad argument. Jordan wouldn't have double-three-peated without Pippen -- true, but irrelevant to the fact that Jordan was far and away the MVP of those teams. Kobe, on the other hand, was never the clear-cut MVP on any of his championship teams.
Regular seasons:
1999-00: Shaq 18.6 WS, Kobe 10.6 WS // Shaq 9.0 VORP, Kobe 4.5 VORP
2000-01: Shaq 14.9 WS, Kobe 11.3 WS // Shaq 7.1 VORP, Kobe 4.7 VORP
2001-02: Shaq 13.2 WS, Kobe 12.7 WS // Shaq 6.1 VORP, Kobe 5.2 VORP
2008-09: Gasol 13.9 WS, Kobe 12.7 WS // Kobe 5.9 VORP, Gasol 5.0 VORP
2009-10: Gasol 11.0 WS, Kobe 9.4 WS // Kobe 4.4 VORP, Gasol 4.2 VORP
Playoffs:
2000: Shaq 4.7 WS, Kobe 2.1 WS // Shaq 2.6 VORP, Kobe 1.4 VORP
2001: Kobe 3.8 WS, Shaq 3.7 WS // Kobe 1.5 VORP, Shaq 1.4 VORP
2002: Shaq 3.8 WS, Kobe 2.6 WS // Shaq 1.9 VORP, Kobe 1.3 VORP
2009: Kobe 4.7 WS, Gasol 4.3 WS // Kobe 2.6 VORP, Gasol 1.7 VORP
2010: Gasol 4.3 WS, Kobe 3.6 WS // Kobe 2.1 VORP, Gasol 1.8 VORP
(WS = Win shares, VORP = Value over replacement player)
So, in conclusion, he was *very slightly* the best player on a championship team like...*maybe* two times out of five?
Also, he never once led the league in VORP in 20 seasons. He came in 2nd a mere one time. He never once led the league in WS. He never once came in 2nd or even 3rd in WS. He came in 4th three times.
Did he deserve to be a multiple-time All-star? Absolutely. But to claim he somehow deserved more accolades than he got is ridiculous. He won the 2007-08 MVP despite being 4th in WS and 3rd in VORP. He won the 2010 Finals MVP when it easily could have gone to either him or Gasol. He was on the All-Defensive team 9 times (tied for the most selections ever), despite only being in the top 10 in defensive win shares once in his entire career (and he was 10th that one time) -- to put that into perspective and compare it with some other guards, Jordan was in the top 10 in DWS 8 times, Kidd 5 times, Stockton 4 times, Rondo 4 times, Blaylock 4 times, C. Paul 2 times.
People frequently put him in their top 10 all-time, and many even in their top 5 or top 3. What other player frequently makes top 10 all-time lists despite never having cracked into the TOP 3 in WS once in their entire career? Let's see:
Jordan: 1st nine times, 2nd two times
Lebron: 1st nine times, 2nd two times
Kareem: 1st nine times, 2nd one time
Wilt: 1st eight times, 2nd three times
Harden: 1st five times
K. Malone: 1st three times, 2nd three times
Jokic: 1st three times
Dirk: 1st two times, 2nd three times
Shaq: 1st two times, 2nd three times
Robinson: 1st two times, 2nd two times
Bird: 1st two times, 2nd two times
M. Malone: 1st two times, 2nd one time
Garnett: 1st two times
Duncan: 1st two times
O. Robertson: 1st one time, 2nd four times
Durant: 1st one time, 2nd three times
C. Paul: 1st one time, 2nd three times
Dantley: 1st one time, 2nd two times
Russell: 2nd two times
In conclusion, Kobe Bryant is the most overrated played in the history of basketball. He was a gifted All-Star and a champion, no doubt. He was not, however, a top 10 all-time player.
George Mikan is the only player ever to win 7 titles in 3 different leagues! Amazing player during his time.
TD is one of my favorite players but Kobe is undoubtedly the NBA icon of the 00s. Three peat, back to back championships and crazy scoring streaks and offensive performances in a decade.

Dude the comments is a war zone between who was better in 00s Kobe or Duncan. Can ppl just chill it’s fine to disagree.
Like honestly chill out we all know it’s ZAZA PICHULIA
Let’s have a nice calm discussion I think Duncan was just fundamentally better but Kobe was just something else I pick Duncan though
It was definitely Duncan
Suuuupeer close,can't go wrong with either but I pick Duncan

3 rings
2 fmvp
2 mvp
best player on his team for entire decade and best player on his team for every chip

4 rings
1 fmvp
1 mvp

I Agree

@@ezra7249 I refuse to argue that it's NOT CLOSE - and the careers of Larry and Earvin were linked even before they entered the NBA.
2 of the all time greatest, and one of the greatest RIVALRIES of all time - right up there with Bill and Wilt, who were even closer friends for most of their years off the court despite being very competitive ON the court in their matchups.
Larry at his best was better than Magic. Magic was healthy for pretty much the entire decade though while Larry fell off a cliff after the '87 season due to injuries. It's a classic case of peak vs career. Magic had the greater career and Bird had the greater peak.
magic is the best of all time
4:07
That Finals MVP should have gone to Kareem, who did more for the Lakers during the SERIES as a whole, even if Magic was critical in the last game.
I would definitely put Bob Pettit in the 50s and Wilt in the 60s and maybe Bird in the 80s
no way it is all about winning...that is why Karl Malone is not mentioned anywhere....if he had won 4 or 5 some would call him the GOAT.....
Seth kettel “The Celtics also ran the pick-and-roll over and over again, freeing up Sam Jones and John Havlicek for open jumpers as Wilt again showed himself reluctant to leave the paint and cover the shooters who had been freed by Russell’s picks.

You cannot say that Hakeem dominated the 90s as much as mj. Same with shaq or curry. Shaq had Kobe and Dwayne wade carrying his ass up and down the court. Steph only dominated the turn of the decade. For 4 seasons only. And he did it with the best catch and shooter in nba history and kd. A walking cheat code. And it has recently been proven that curry can’t lead a team to even make the playoffs on his own. Hakeem dominated one season. The only season that Jordan was busy playing baseball. Otherwise he couldn’t pass Jordan
@@drainwater978 Hakeem dominated for one season?I find it funny that Michael chose Dream over ever center in history for to he his starting dream 5 including himself.Anyways Hakeem dominated in multiple years I'm the 90s not to mention the 1980s....In 1994 he won the MVP,DPOY,Finals MVP n NBA champion.The very next year he was even more dominant in the playoffs 33/10/4.5/2.8/1/on 52%
The previous year he put up 29/11/4/4/2/ on 51%/

Duncan Wins in the 2000s for my money. Duncan's overshadowing isn't hard to understand, his game didn't have the flash or power of most of the NBAs other big names, even pundits called the 2003 team that won the championship, boring to watch. That's the thing that makes Duncan so great, he was so good and so consistent and so predictable, that you were bored watching because you knew what was coming, and yet nobody could stop him. Coming off a finals MVP in 1999 for the shortened season Duncan was a model of consistency, winning, and ultimate fundamental skill. There is a reason he was known as Mr. Fundamental, he had every bit of the most basic parts of the game down so well, he only needed a couple moves and he'd get his buckets. Nobody knew how to shoot a better bank shot or use simple techniques to get what they wanted and needed. Man never let his team finish with a below 50 win record for the entire decade while averaging 20pts 10rbs and 2blks. If you look at the per 36 for his career of 19 seasons, it is so absurdly consistent, you can't believe it's the same guy from year 1 to year 19.
Haha is this a joke literally nobody looked at Tim as the best in the league he wasn’t his sells prove it there’s a reason y the nba was struggling during that time Kobe is clearly the best of that era and it’s not close at all nobody wanted to watch Tim play that’s a fact
@@The_king567 Conflating attention with value is the mark of a sucker. By that metric Lebron is better than Kobe, so either your metrics are not telling the story you want it to, or you are talking out of your ass.
In the 90s I would mention Dražen Petrović. Such a loss. Rest in peace.
We’re talking about the play skill right cause then it would be wilt over bill
I think they’re talking about skill and success
Yes, but 'skill' is more than just scoring. Wilt was obviously more skilled than Bill at scoring, but Bill was arguably a better rebounder, a much better defender in general, specifically a better shot blocker, much better passer, and less selfish, which allowed others in the offense to flourish, thus fostering a more team oriented style of play which was obviously the path to winning consistently. They were 'skilled' in different ways. Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan are the two most dominant scorers of all time, but Bill Russell and LeBron James are the two most consistent and effective leaders of all time.
@@thareelhelloagain wilt averaged 27 rebounds in a season(nba record). He also led the league in assists one time and he only did for fun💀😆 wilt was obviously better. It’s easy for bill to be perceived as the better player when you got like 10 hofs on the team making the team unbeatable.🥱😴

I'm older than most here. I witness the merging of the NBA and the ABA in the 70's. That merger bought forth the GOAT who put the NBA into the American conscience. Dr. J. Most don't know it, but TV use to go off. 12:00 midnight, the National Anthem, TV go off. Dr. J. was so exciting, people wanted to see him and the NBA. In the 80's the internet was made available to the masses. Remember AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy? The 80's had Magic and Bird. 2 Goats going head to head. And the internet got popular and TV forgot how to turn off. Then the 90. MJ. 3 peat, took 2 years off then another 3 peat. 90 GOAT. 2000's. Kobe. Damn near another MJ, 5 Rings 3 with Shaq and 2 with Gasol. 2010, The new King arrives, Lebron James. He had to leave Cleveland, go the Miami, where there was already a NBA champ, Wade, where he learned how to lead and become a Champ. He won 2 rings, went back to Cleveland and against all odds, lead his team back from being down 3-2 to win Cleveland its only NBA Title. Then he bailed on them again and went to LA. There he one another ring with the help of Anthony. That's 4 for James, 5 for Kobe, and 6 for Jordan. For me, Jordan is GOAT. But I realize to for others, it maybe Kobe, Russell, Earving, Johnson or Bird or anyone of the other many greats. Today's GOAT, maybe Curry. The GOAT depends who a person grew up watching and admiring. Plenty to choose from. Of course, this is just my silly opinion.

Wilt didn’t show up during the playoffs 👌👌👌 his stats got worse
2020’s gonna be between
Antetokounmpo
Zion
Luka Dončić
giannis
nah i take it back luka
tbh i love them both but I gotta go with giannis
No it’s still gonna be LeBron bc rn we’re in 2021 and LeBron is the goat
@@babou3191 lebron is going to retire like after 3 years or something
I there should be another video of the top 3 best because there are so many more amazing super stars and am sad that most of them was not on here like larry bird shaq and even stephen curry
Dude all of these are my 2k player
Dead meme
All these are great players but if I was given the opportunity to pick I immediately pick Bill Russell followed by Magic Johnson followed by Bird. All these guys are great though. It's just that those three guys can play in a team setting with such great will and dominance that they can actually change the momentum of a game. Jeeze, I keep catching myself thinking of the others and asking myself who's better than them, but those are my choices.
I like these lists, different decades has different rules. For example,
If 89-90 Badboys play in today’s NBA? They will not win the Championship as they will all foul out before halftime.
Or all the scorers in 80-00 will have higher field goal percentage with today rules ect.
So splitting the list into 5 or 10 years is better.
You guys know that game Kobe put up 81 he also shot 60 times
Kobe is probably the all time leader in shot attempts. People don't mention that though
Kobe deserve at least 3 MVP's
What year did u think he should won the MVP?
No he didn’t

i think part two should be the rival edition
This was the best video ever
Bird and magic should've been for 80's
Larry and Magic would say MJ in 80s
This is a correct list
For the 50s: It's a three-way tie between George Mikan, Bob Pettit, and Bob Cousy.
For the 60s: It's Wilt Chamberlain. (Not Bill Russell due to the fact that this is a Best Player video.)
For the 70s: It's Kareem. Obviously.
For the 80s: It's a tie between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
For the 90s: It's Michael Jordan. (Who wouldn't have had the success he did without Scottie Pippen.)
For the 00s: It's a three-way tie between Koby Byrant, Shaquille O'Neal, and Tim Duncan.
For the 10s: It's LeBron James.
Honourable Mentions: Dirk (10s) for almost single-handedly beating the Miami super team, Elgin Baylor for single-handedly reviving the Lakers franchise, and Bol Bol because he'll dominate 2022 - 2043.
Overall, though, great vid.
Michael Jordan is G.O.A.T
50s is clearly Mikan
60s is clearly Wilt. This is a list of best players, right? Not best teams.
70s is Kareem.
80s is a toss up between Magic and Bird.
90s is clearly Jordan.
2000s is probably Kobe.
2010s is clearly LeBron.
If you combine the Doctor's ABA and NBA careers he could be a candidate for Mount Rushmore or even the Goat.
ABA was inferior....
Naah, not really. If you use this argument regarding Bird, his entire career inside and outside the court, he becomes the GOAT right there, he is the only human being who won MVP, COY and executive of the year (also the Olympics for good measure), he literally mastered the sport, the greatest mind
The merger of the ABA with the NBA injected the NBA with a new electrifying excitement with athleticism and creativity setting the stage for a renaissance in global basketball and transitioning and setting the stage for today's game and the center piece for that transition was Julius " Doctor J" Erving. Today's game just wasn't going to be the same without him. So for the 70s it would be The Doctor and Kareem.
Don't forget about Moses, the single most underrated legend in the history of the game. Moses Malone imo is even greater than Dr. J. Unfortunately he wasn't flashy and he moved around from team to team so people don't remember his greatness, but he went head to head with Kareem and outplayed him quite often. He's also a three time MVP, putting him in the company of only Jordan, Wilt, Russell, Bird, Magic, Kareem, and Lebron.
Agreed
Larry bird was the best player in 80s
R.I.P. to the late great Kobe Bean Bryant but Tim Duncan ran the 00's in my opinion
arguable, both of them are the Magic-Bird of that Era
Nah he didn’t but ok
40's: Joe Fulks
50's: George Mikan
60's: Bill Russell/Wilt Chamberlain
70's: Kareem Abdul Jabbar
80's: Magic Johnson/Larry Bird
90's: Michael Jordan
00's: Kobe Bryant/Tim Duncan
10's: Lebron James
20's: Lebron James
Bron gon retire too soon. He not playing another decade. Giannis maybe
Bro have u seen him… this guy gonna be windmill dunking at 50💀
Now, this is worth talking about. We actually saw how they competed with their contemporaries. So it is not just a pure subjective argument.
The 2000's should be duncan but it's very close.
lol u have a jordan-lebron-kobe GOAT trio pic and u supporting duncan over kobe lolol.
Is it honestly even that close? Duncan is 6th all time in VORP, Kobe is 12th.
Duncan is 14th all time in PER, Kobe is 27th
Duncan is 7th all-time in Win Shares, Kobe is 19th.
Duncan is 16th all-time in WS/48, Kobe is 60th
Kobe was definitely the bigger star, and way more fun to watch casually.
And even though I think he was "overrated" I'm not at all saying he wasn't great. But more like "top fifteen or so all-time" not "in the discussion for the best ever"
@@Farwell3d so? Who won more rings in the decade, who dominated each other in the playoffs
How is Duncan the best when Kobe beat him 4 times that decade in the postseason?
You mention all of that but didn’t mention that Kobe and Duncan have almost the same True Shooting percentage
Brian Fowler stats are jus that
I think Larry bird should have been the one in the 80s
Thats rly hard both have differnt play style
He was great but magic won more championships and beat Bird 2 out of 3 times in the finals
@@vernonleewarren280 I agree magic is a great player I just think Larry was a better player. I also think wilt is a way better player then bill
@@jjfgaming6355 I agree with you about Wilt being better in overall ability but Bill Russell always came up big in big games especially in the playoffs and he did what ever it took for his team to win. In the year Wilt averaged over 50 points a game Bill Russell won the MVP. Wilt played considerable worse in the playoffs and in big games. Look it up.
@@vernonleewarren280 Ik how it was I watched and studied from back then and wilt was a better overall player then bill was. You hear of everyone’s top ten usually wilt is on there higher then Russell. I do understand how you guys are looking at it thought and I do agree bill is a great player
No Oscar Robertson or Sam Jones? Moreover, Bird may not have had the athleticism of other players, but he was brilliant in court awareness, confidence, & psychological warfare.
I remember me watching Michael Jordan dunk in the 80s
This guys voice is stellar
2000's should be Tim Duncan
Agreed
@Iorwen Chua bruh, chill. It's close
@Iorwen Chua bro, stop riding Kobe. People can have their own opinions. Why do you think everyone should have to agree with your opinion?
Nah coz tim won in 99 and 2014 but if they were both in the 2000’s decade it probably would have been him
@Iorwen Chua u wouldn't have said all this if Kobe was alive like common bruh u don't mean that
Miken looks like the NBA LOGO at 1:37 "Could THE LOGO be Miken and not West?"
0:26 Did my guy Shoot free throws like that!?
I wonder why there are so many lakers players here😉 💜💛
I thought this was about the best individual player
This is how mine would go
60s: Bill Russel
70s: Kareem Abdul Jabbar
80s: Magic Johnson
90s: Michael Jordan
00s: Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant
10s: Lebron James and Steph Curry
20s: Kevin Durant
Let’s be honest Steph isn’t on lebrons level all time
My pick for the 20's would be Gianni's, Kevin, and Curry but when Curry and Kevin retire I think for 30's would be Gianni's, Luka, Lamello, Zion and Trey young
Duncan over Kobe 2000's. Also Shaq was clearly the better and more impactful on wins when he and Kobe played together.
Shaq was done being elite in 2006. Duncan won less rings than Kobe and Kobe was 4-1 in the playoffs vs Timmy in the 00's (and Kobe was the best player in every series win).
