Re: How many all-time greats missed the playoffs in their prime?
KG, Kobe, and Wade come to mind from this era.
I'm sure I'm forgetting someone...
How do you define "all time great"?

Re: How many all-time greats missed the playoffs in their prime?
Assuming this thread is about Kobe (almost every post is ignored), he was injured for 25+ games that year. If you blame him, you're a mindless idiot.

Re: How many all-time greats missed the playoffs in their prime?
Kareem in '76 actually won the MVP in doing so. Also missed in '75 but that's because he missed games (35-30 with him, 3-14 without him).
Wilt in '63 which was actually the highest PER season of all-time. Was on pace in doing so again in '65 (10-28 record) but he was traded.
Oscar like 3 or 4 times.
Bran in '05. Yes he started his prime.
Hakeem in '92 because he missed games (40-30 with him, 2-10 without him).Last edited by Deuce Bigalow; 04-08-2014 at 12:28 AM.
