Rank the top ten players of the 1980s

[72-10]

I meant jokes, not rings. 6 jokes in the post.

During the 93' Finals, Magic and Isiah said that if you removed mj/magic/isiah from their teams, the lakers/pistons would annihilate the bulls

in other words, the laker/pistons casts were much better

So doesn't that mean if MJ had the same help Isiah/magic had in the 80's, he would've destroyed them?..

Not necessarily

I would not rank players I see that represent the 70’s and 90’s, even though they were clearly have a case for the 80’s top-10. Example Jordan represent the 90’s even though he can is a top-10 in the 80’s. Same with Jabbar and Erving, both represents 70’s more than the 80’s.

Here’s my top-10 (not in order)

M. Johnson
L. Bird
M. Malone
I. Thomas
K. McHale
A. Dantley
S. Moncrief
A. English
D. Wilkins
B. King

Jordan by the late 80's was already the best player ever.

But if you go by body of work for the decade then its Bird.
