How many NBA seasons have had a better top 3 than 2009?

[BigTyme Records]

Prime Kobe and Wade >>>>> Steph and KD imo

had one of the best seasons of all time and that's when his prime began




D-Wade was looking like prime MJ all year averaged 30ppg on 49% one of the best SG seasons EVER




Kobe was the Wily vet still styling on nikkas, also won his first of 2 chips without shaq

MJ, Hakeem & Shaq

MJ, Hakeem & Shaq

In 1993? Rookie Shaq isn't better than any of those guys. Maybe in 1995 he got on that level. But MJ wasn't the same the year for obvious reasons.

95-96. Hakeem/Shaq coming off a Finals showdown and MJ came back to win MVP, scoring title and lead the 72 win team.

 

[Alexander The Great]

OP don't forget about CP3 that year too

I don't know about better, but 1990 was an amazing year for individual performances too.

Jordan = 34,7,6 on 53% fg. 85% 38% lead the league in win shares, per etc and finished THIRD in the MVP voting behind Magic and Barkley who also had amazing seasons.
EDIT:

barkley = 25, 12, 4 on 60%

magic = 22, 7, 12. Lakers won 63 the 1st year without Kareem.

David Robinson and Pat Ewing also went brazy that year

of course the year Wilt average 50 a game, and the Big O averaged a triple double and neither won the MVP

[MJ Truth]

Wilt chamberlain averaged 50 per game. Oscar Robertson averaged a triple dub. Same season. Neither one won MVP. Let that shyt sink in one time.

 

[mastermind]

Bird, MJ, Magic from ‘86-‘88

 

[Mandizi]

I was about to say '88 with Jordan, Magic, and Bird. But yall make a good point about '62 when Russell won MVP with Wilt and Oscar's record setting seasons.
