    Shaq is a 90s player. He just happened to win more in the weaker 00s.

    Bold = Players who were around in the 90s, bruh.

    Not counting guys like Baron, World Peace who were drafted in '99

    Not that I necessarily agree with the OP, but their best years were in the 2000's, so what's your point?

    These kinds of list can be so easily manipulated, because for example, Shaq came into the league in the early 90s and was the superstar, man. The same as Kidd, when I think back of watching the NBA in the 90s Kidd is one of the main players that comes to mind. As well as so many others. Even a player like KG, so many memories of being in school and watching him in my cousin's house in the 90s, when the 2000s never even existed.

    Then you have a poster who doesn't factor the rule changes, which probably helped Nash tremendously, and also the fact that he probably never watch a game of basketball in the 90s, and has no idea of how good someone was, and is just going by how recognizable a name is.

    A person in his shoes 12 years from now will leave off so many of the names in the 2000s list, simply because those will be forgotten players.

    If you go deeper into it, leaving Shaq off the 90s would be the same as leaving Lebron of the 2000s. Worse since Shaqs played more years in the 90s than Lebron did in the 2000s.

    So basically you only count 'best years'? Kinda weird that guys who played 5-8 years in the 90s AKA the vast majority of the decade, didn't have their 'best years' until the best players of the 90s weren't around any more. Shaq was drafted in 1992 for f*ckssake

    Then most of the 90s players are 80s players? lol
    I know... weird that guys can be impactful past a new decade. Weird.

    But I guess MJ's averages of 33/6/6/3 his multiple MVPs, scoring titles, DPOY, ROY etc in that decade don't qualify him as an '80s player' though.

    But let's not let logic get in the way of this thread.

    #1 Bron = '10 player

    #2 I'm seeing the names and think 90s are better.

    So what the hell did Kobe, tmac, ray, nash, Chauncey, vince (who played 1 year in the 90s), pierce, dirk, sheed and big ben do in the 90s? Go look at their numbers, not even close to what they did the next decade and they played 2-4 years tops, and most didn't even make an allstar team

    Most of the guys you named are perimeter players, the rule changes in the 2000s really helped them have their 'best years' (Notice how big men like Shaq and Duncan had IMMEDIATE impact after being drafted in the 90s). But that doesn't change the fact that guys like Kobe and Ray played 4 seasons in the 90s after being drafted in '96. Whether or not they did shit doesn't change the fact that they played in nearly half the decade, they were 90s players. Maybe not marquee for one reason or another, but they were there going up against the guys OP labeled as solely '90s players' (really shoddy and incomplete list BTW ).

    And for the record, Kobe was a 2 time all star in the 90s and led the league in bench scoring in 97-98, Ray was a 18/4/4 guy shooting 39% from 3 from 96-00, Rasheed put up 14/6 in the 90s (compared to 15/7 in the 00s).

    90's is 90'-99' btw

    Kobe averaged 14 ppg and played on the bench for 2/3 years, he should definitely be included as part of the 90s while he was a teenager

    Tmac played 2 years and averaged 8ppg while playing 20mpg

    Ray averaged 16 a game during his 3 years in the 90s

    Nash 7ppg in the 90s while playing 20mpg

    Chauncey 12ppg in under 30mpg, tearing up the league

    Dirk played one year in the 90s and avg 8ppg

    Big Ben avg 3/5, just unheard of

    These guys I listed in the other post just weren't in their primes, and the major rule change was enforced in the middle of the 2000's. Kobe, tmac, ray, pierce, AI, vince, nash were already great in the early 00's

    Most people who post on this site probably grew up in the 90s. It's all nostalgia.
