Is this the only season you'd rank above '25 Shai?

I've been watching NBA since '99 and off top, no order, '09 Kobe, '16 Steph, '18 Harden easily clear this year's Shai. I guess its fair to say '25 Shai fits somewhere after that. And if he's Top 4 debatable in 26 years of me watching ball, that's still pretty damn good...

But those Kobe, Steph, Harden years are the apex versions of those players I feel like I saw. Maybe I haven't seen apex Shai yet, but I can't put '25 Shai over those versions, of those players...

I don't have a list just saying 87-88 Jordan is the best single season for a guard in history. Maybe the best season period since no one has ever done that.
