The honors of most players in the NBA were won at their peak. Generally speaking, a player’s peak is between the ages of 27 and 33. Of course, there are also examples. James and Jabbar have a very long career peak period, and such players are a minority after all. Many players won enough honors and were recognized at their peak with outstanding performance. Speaking of this, the US media BR recently selected the 10 strongest players at their peak and ranked them. Let’s take a look.
The tenth chapter of Chamberlain
Chamberlain's peak was in the 60-64 season. During this period, Chamberlain averaged 41.7 points, 25.3 rebounds and 3 assists per game, winning 1 MVP, 5 All-Stars and 4 Best Team First Teams. If you only look at the data, Jacky Cheung may be ranked first in this list, but the coach led the team at this period did not win too many great honors, so he was only ranked tenth. He started to win the championship after he changed to team basketball.
Ninth Bill Russell
Russell's peak was in the 61-65 season. The reason why Chamberlain played such excellent data was only to win 1 MVP, mainly because of Russell's existence. During this period, he won 4 MVPs, led the team to win all the championships in this five years, and was selected into the All-Big Team twice. During this period, Russell averaged 16.3 points, 24 rebounds, 4.5 assists per game. If it weren't for the data that was particularly impressive, with this honor, he would be enough to rank in the top three.
Eighth Antetokounmpo
Antetokounmpo's peak was in 19-23. During this period, Antetokounmpo won 2 regular season MVP, 1 Best Defensive Player, 1 Championship and 1 FMVP trophy. He was also selected for the first team five times and 4 times in the first defense. He has never missed the first team in five years. In other words, he is the unquestionable No. 1 power forward in the league during this period. During this period, Antetokounmpo can average 29.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.
The Seventh Magician Johnson
The Magician peaked in the 86-90 season. Although the Magician won the FMVP when he debuted, he was still relatively young at that time. During his five years at the peak, he won the regular season MVP three times, led the team twice to the championship, got 1 FMVP trophy, and was selected into the Best Team 5 times. During this period, the Magic has replaced Jabbar as the team leader, averaging 21.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 12.2 assists and 1.7 steals per game.
The sixth Bird
Bird peaked in the 84-88 season. Although Bird was not as good as the Magicians' passing ability at his peak, he was more comprehensive and had stronger scoring ability, so he was also ahead of the Magicians. During this period, Bird achieved three consecutive MVPs, won the championship twice, and won 2 FMVP trophys. He was also selected into the All-A-First Team 5 times, with averaging 27.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game, making him one of the most all-round players in history.
The fifth Curry
Curry's peak was in the 15-19 season. To be honest, in my opinion, the 17-22 season was Curry's peak. After all, he really won the honor he had always dreamed of. In the time given by BR, Curry won 3 championships, 2 regular season MVPs, and was selected for the Best Team 3 times. He averaged 26.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game, and averaged 4.4 three-pointers per game. During this period, Curry also led the team to a record of 73 wins and 9 losses.
Fourth Jabbar
Jabbar's peak was in 71-75. Jabbar was the representative of his debut. He was the first in the league in the second year of his career. During this period, he led the team to win 1 championship, 1 FMVP, 4 selected for the Best Team, and 3 regular season MVPs. He led the team to win the championship in the second year of his career. Jabbar is also very good. During this period, he averaged 30.8 points, 15.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 3.4 blocks per game. It is not without reason that he can become the top three players in history.
The third Jokic
Jokic's peak is 21-25 years. Perhaps Jokic will continue his peak in the next few years. During this period, Rioki won 3 regular MVPs, 1 championship and 1 finals MVP, and was selected into the Best Team 4 times. Everyone has seen the dominance that Jokic has played in the past few years. He may be the player with the strongest offensive in history and the center with the best assist ability in history, averaging 26.8 points, 12.3 rebounds, 9 assists and 1.4 steals per game.
Second James, second James, was in 2009-13. Although James was able to win the FMVP until 20 years, to be honest, the peak of James' personal physical condition was the Heat's period, and the power of the center of the point guard was simply unsolvable. During this period, James won 4 MVPs, 2 championships, 2 FMVPs, 5 best teams, and 5 best defenses. During this period, James averaged 27.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game, which is too comprehensive.
The first Jordan
Jordan's peak was in 1989-93, which was the period from Jordan's peak to his first three consecutive championships. This period was also the peak of Jordan's physical condition, and the last three championships were the peak of his willpower and technology. During this period, Jordan won 2 regular season MVPs, 3 championships, 3 Finals MVPs, 5 selected for the first defense and the first team. During this period, he averaged 32 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 2.7 steals per game. Having said that, what do you want to say about these 10 players?
