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
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.

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.

You said he puts the "clamps" on Bron. Usually "clamps" means defense - what does that have to do with Wiggins' scoring average?

Wiggins is famous for throwing up empty points and I'm sure he cares a lot more about his matchups with Bron than Bron cares about him. Averaging 25ppg while losing 10 out of 11 just isn't very impressive to me.
Wigs always lock Bron up this ain’t even a fukkin debate.. If you watched both of them go head to head you would see it

This what happens when you coast when you up
Many teams are guilty of this, not sweating it. Lakers still winning chip this year again.
