Kareem was playing at 1st-team All-NBA level and a top-5 MVP vote until 1986. So that's the first 7 of Magic's 12 years. Magic's prime started at what, 21 at the latest? So prime Magic has 6 years with a top-5 player.did Prime Magic ever play with another top 5 player? Kareem was on his last legs in Magic's prime so he doesn't count
Bron has had just 3 years with a top-5 player at most. And that's only if you count this year and last year as prime Bron even though he's clearly starting to fall off. But that would be funny to count 36yo Bron as prime but not 20yo Magic when he was winning Finals MVP.
