If it wasn't for MJ Barkley would have 2 rings at least be in the top 10 consideration, he was that good. That man could drop 40 like it was nothing.

Yea he was o freak of nature for his size

To of my favorite players to never win a ring. Both of them just went up against juggernaut teams.

Really would depend what the rest of your team looks like.

1989-90 was maybe the toughest MVP race ever. It's pretty amazing looking back at how many players had great years. Look at those candidates and their seasons:

1989-90 NBA Awards Voting | Basketball-Reference.com

David Robinson won Rookie of the Year, he averaged 24 PPG on 53% FG with 12 RPG and 4 BPG...and the Spurs went from 21-61 to 56-26. He finished SIXTH in MVP voting. That's how strong that year was.

Anyway, Barkley ranks higher than Iverson all-time and for peak play. Dude was ridiculously efficient to go with being a great scorer and rebounder, and good passer too. Unfortunately he was inconsistent on defense due to his laziness. He once said "it's not that I can't play defense, I just sometimes don't want to". But he was still a hell of a player when you look at the whole impact.

The league was so stacked back then

Even tom chambers was putting up 27ppg

He had 2 years while MJ was playing baseball and they choked a 3-1 lead to the rockets in 95 and lost to them in 7 as well the year before

That was to Hakeem though If he made it to the Finals no other team in the East was going to beat them.

How is this even a discussion? That fat c00n was neck and neck with a prime Jordan for a period of time.
