Considering defensive ratings require defensive stats to work and the fact they didn't keep track of steals blocks or defensive rebounds until the late 60's might have something to do with it.

individual defensive + DWS ratings yes, but team defensive ratings no
team defensive ratings are just points allowed per game adjusted for pace

While Jordan was winning MVP's and championships, can you please tell us why Kobe was unable to crack the Lakers starting lineup?
I'll wait, foot. Thanks

Jordan, of course. He is the overall GOAT so why is this even a question?

I would say Jordan has the the best argument for GOAT. All-time peak is debatable. It's definitely between him and Shaq.

It is what it is
Re: #1 NBA Player Peak Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
Jordan with Shaq a close second but I'll go with MJ because stats aside, MJ did what few NBA people thought was possible, win without a dominant big. He won 6 freaking titles with Cartwright and Longley...perimeter players before Jordan weren't expected to lead a team to championships, it was considered a big man's game.

because there are other payers who for a short time were as dominant, if not more dominant than he was. It's a valid question.

I need to edit myself. They didn't keep track of individual defensive stats until 73-74
They had individual DWS going all the way back to who knows how long but not D ratings.
That was the question he asked why people don't respect defensive ratings across eras.
Defensive rebounds are used in possessions stats, which are used in creating d.ratings. that's why defensive ratings start in 73-74 when they started keeping track of the defensive stats.
So to me as a stat it's worthless across eras because there's a huge era not included.

I agree. I'd say his absolute prime would be from 89-93, but 86-93 is probably the best seven season span of any player, and it's for that reason that I voted Jordan.
If we're talking best two seasons, I'd have Shaq and Wilt at the top, in that order.

Kobe was a teenager and the Lakers starting SG was an all star.
Are you high? What does your question have to do with the topic or anything I posted in this thread?

Jordan 87-93.
Was 99% as dominant as Shaq from 99-02, but over a 7 year span.

hm, I guess we're each entitled to our own opinions then
league average offensive rebound percentage is relatively constant in league history, so I believe their regression produces defensive ratings are within
