Top 5 Peaks of the last Decade.

[Suguru101]

What have been the top 5 single-season peaks of the last 10 years? 2005 - 2014.

Only one peak season per player.


For me they are:

2013 LeBron, 2005 Duncan
2009 Kobe
2014 Durant
2011 Dwight

Just explain which of those Kobe's peak season is superior to. I'm not disagreeing, but state your case. This is a legitimate topic.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

04 KG
09 Kobe
11 Dirk
08 CP3
10 Wade

honorable mention 12 Lebron, 14 KD

[HOoopCityJones]

At least Kobe fans are unbiased enough to give Lebron and Wade credit where credit is due. (when not trolling) You dudes go out of your way to omit Kobe from discussions like these. It's shameful.

Which is why I almost had a heart attack when I saw AB actually have Kobe down, eve if the first half of his post was deep throating Lebron.

[STATUTORY]

Just explain which of those Kobe's peak season is superior to. I'm not disagreeing, but state your case. This is a legitimate topic.
any of Kobe's non injury and court case derailed season between 2001 to 2013 is superior to Wade 2009

objectively speaking

[ArbitraryWater]

It is close, but 2008 Kobe should be above 2004 KG and 2009 Wade IMO.... Given the all-around package, leadership, game management, playoff excellence...

2009 Wade wasn't as ready come playoff time yet... First time he was the lone star of the team, lost to the trash Hawks.

2009 Kobe was already more valuable come postseason time than 2009 Wade IMO.

2010 Wade was more mature once he got into his groove that year.

Dude nobody was doing the shit like what Kobe was doing from 05-07 , even 08-09 is some good shit. To omit Kobe from the peaks of this decade is flat out trolling. Even the early 2000's he has a case, I don't give a **** what Shaq was doing.

[ArbitraryWater]

04 KG
09 Kobe
11 Dirk
08 CP3
10 Wade

honorable mention 12 Lebron, 14 KD

LMFAOO :roll:

So LeBron was the best player in the NBA for the first time in 2012, and last time in 2013?

I reacted the same way, not because they omitted Kobe but because in the OP it says since 2004 and two of them are before that.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

LMFAOO :roll:

Yes. Its not his fault he was almost top 3 every year from 09 to 14 and 2nd multiple times. However there have been legendary seasons from legendary players in that span too

[ArbitraryWater]

See how it feels when people spout blatant bullshit? :oldlol:

Yeah I just made an argument before for Kobe... Something you don't seem to be able to do for LeBron.

Got a clear head, bruh.

[PJR]

:oldlol: Funny how none of the actual objective information, that being the advanced metrics, don't support this opinion.

[Nash]

Lebron 12-13.

Champ
MVP
FMVP
27ppg, 8rpg and 7apg
57% fg

[HOoopCityJones]

Ive given Lebron mad credit when I felt he's deserved it. You're probably the troll flip flopping.

Say something nice about Kobe, then tomorrow act like he's not even Top 10.

[dubeta]

Lebron 12-13.

Champ
MVP
FMVP
27ppg, 8rpg and 7apg

And also averaged 25/11/7 in a Finals people were calling 'average'

[Suguru101]

Well this went south fast....

What you think would happen? :lol

[T_L_P]

04 shouldn't count; it was 11 seasons ago.

09 LeBron
09 Wade
08 Kobe
08-09 Paul
11 Dirk/14 Durant

Just out of curiosity, why do you think 2009 LeBron was better than 2012/2013 LeBron? He was a much more mature and complete player.

Dwight who?



.

[T_L_P]

Just far too much statistical domination and the amount of wins he dragged that team to.

I mean, 35/9/7 in the Playoffs whilst going to the CF.

He was a better defender in 2012 though.

[JonatanRey]

Close, but Lebron 2012.

Kobe and Wade 09 are close.

As far as I Love Dirk and specially Duncan, they shouldnt be in a "peak" conversation. They are great for other reasons.

2005 Duncan though?

I agree about Dirk. His peak wasn't as amazing as the others listed.

Although it was more than a decade ago, 03 Duncan is talked about in the alltime peaks.

Total two-way domination.

[JonatanRey]

2005 Duncan though?

I agree about Dirk. His peak wasn't as amazing as the others listed.

Yes, def Duncan in 05 or 03 would deserve to be. Please, dont get me wrong. I love Tim more than the other three, but in terms of peak... Im sticking with Lebron. If the question were who player would you have in your team in the last decade, the answer would be different.

[dubeta]

Wilt da GOAT :bowdown: :bowdown:

Well MJ and Bran lead with 4 each, while Wilt has only 3, but he also has the highest recorded PER

arguable either way

[JonatanRey]

Although it was more than a decade ago, 03 Duncan is talked about in the alltime peaks.

Just made me remember that 03 playoff run against Phoenix, Lakers and Dallas... And we say the Western Conference is tough nowadays... Come on.

[T_L_P]

Just made me remember that 03 playoff run against Phoenix, Lakers and Dallas... And we say the Western Conference is tough nowadays... Come on.

25/15/5 run on a dog-slow team. Played the best defense I've ever seen live (didn't see prime Hakeem, I guess Ben Wallace needs mentioning).

37/16 to close out the Lakers
35/18/6/4 in the first 3 games against Dirk
32/20/6/3/7 game 1 vs New Jersey
21/20/10/10 to win the title, made KMart have one of the worst Finals games ever (3-23)

:bowdown:

What's the deal with that block figure in Game 6, I've heard from other people as well he had 10 but was marked down with 8, what happened with that?

[T_L_P]

Stat guy used to be pretty sloppy for SA as I remember it.

If you watch the full game you can clearly see Duncan block at least 10 shots. There was a half Duncan, half Robinson block that they awarded to Duncan, so they must have simply missed a couple.

[Cold soul]

12-13 LeBron
08 Kobe
05 Duncan
09 Wade
11 Dirk

[DatAsh]

Wilt da GOAT :bowdown: :bowdown:

Wilt's numbers don't include blocks, if they did he'd have the top 4.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Wilt's numbers don't include blocks, if they did he'd have the top 4.
they also dont include turnovers so no thats not a guarantee

[RoundMoundOfReb]

09/13 LeBron "King" James
04 Kevin Garnett
03 Tim Duncan
09 Dwyane Wade
06/08 Kobe Bryant

[j3lademaster]

Just out of curiosity, why do you think 2009 LeBron was better than 2012/2013 LeBron? He was a much more mature and complete player.Disagree. 12 Lebron developed his post game, had adequate help to actually win(which allowed him to be more selective as a shooter) and implemented a lot of flopping to his game. 09-10 Lebron was a 6'8 260 lbs titan with one of the fastest baseline to baselines in NBA history. He was literally like a nba 2k player with fatigue turned off just going 100 mph the entire game. 30/7.3/8.6 aren't stats you can just "pad" especially winning like Lebron was.

[j3lademaster]

How is 05-06 Kobe not being mentioned more. Dude was setting records left and right.

04-14 top peaks

10 Lebron
06 Kobe
12 Lebron
04 KG
08 Kobe/ 09 Wade

hm: 06 AI, 11 Dwight, 09 CP3

[Element]

09/13 LeBron "King" James
04 Kevin Garnett
03 Tim Duncan
09 Dwyane Wade
06/08 Kobe Bryant
last ten years? so since 04-05, right

1. 12 LeBron
2. 06/08 Kobe
3. 09 Wade
4. 14 Durant
5. 08 Paul

or, if it's from 00-10

1. 00 Shaq
2. 12 LeBron
3. 03 Duncan
4. 06/08 Kobe
5. 04 Garnett

[Mr. Jabbar]

1# Kobe 2005-2006
2# Wade 2008-2009
3# Garnett 2003-2004
4# Durant 2013-2014
5# Paul 2007-2008

[Papaya Petee]

If were going by 2004-2014 there should only be a few names in discussion.

2005-2006, 2006-2007 2007-2008 Kobe
2005-2006, 2008-2009 Wade
2008-2009, 2009-2010, 2011-2012, 2012-2013 Lebron
2013-2014 Durant

As great as Duncan was in 2005 or CP3 in 07-08 and so on so forth, those 4 players thise years were just THAT much better than everyone else. Now ranking them in order? Thats a different discussion and everyone will be arguing slight details, itll be very opinion based.
