Best players who were never the best player in the league?

[fpliii]

Who you got?

[StateOfMind12]

I wonder where you got this thread idea from....

lol, for the record I did make this thread on another site, anyways it's probably Dwyane Wade unless some of you guys considered him the best at one point in 06 or from 09-11.

Other good candidates would be Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Dirk Nowitzki, etc.

lol hey, I've been jacking threads from REDACTED for months (mostly on ESPN though)

they have some good discussions there, but it seems like most people don't actually watch games

Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant

He is a legitimate candidate. One could argue that Kobe was never the best although I absolutely would not agree.

[L.Kizzle]

Isiah Thomas

Jerry West
Was Oscar ever really the "best" player in the league? His prime seemed to overlap Wilt's and Russell's primes.
Was peak Walton actually considered better than Kareem at the time?

Dirk was by far the best player in the NBA in 2011.

Barkley?

[plowking]

Dirk was by far the best player in the NBA in 2011.

But you also have to take into account that he actually wasn't.

OK humor me. Who was better? No one came close in the playoffs and prior to his injury in the regular season, he absolutely dominated as did the Mavs. He was quite clearly the league's best player.
