2000


I'm trying to remember back then. AI was the MVP and scoring champ, but I don't know if I think he was a better player than Garnett or Shaq at that time. And T-Mac was actually just hitting his prime back then too. This shyt is hard.

No, you're talking about the 2000-2001 season. In the year 2000, T-Mac was still a Raptor. Then he was signed and traded to Magic in the summer. You don't hit your prime within a month, so technically he didn't hit his prime until 2001.

Duncan was the best in 03 with Kobe second and Kobe/Shaq/Duncan are all arguable for 01. I'd take either of them over AI, but I understand that he won MVP and everything.

Kobe was the best player in 08. He was averaging 30 7 and 7 in those playoffs before the finals.
