This was SO TOUGH!! The 80s to ME is the second best or best decade of basketball. The talent level was SO HIGH! I didn't even name Hakeem, Bernard King, Ralph Sampson, Moncrief, Drexler, Barkley and many more legends. I struggled HEAVY to leave out the GOAT BUT the other guys made it so much further in the big stage and I give them the slight edge... IF we are talking BEST!! Even in the 80s... MJ is lowkey top 3 WORST case scenario! My top 5: 5. Kareem Abdul Jabbar - 20.6 Pts, 7.6 Reb, 2.8 Ast, 0.7 Stl and 2 Blk on 60.6% TS 4. Isiah Thomas - 20 Pts, 3.7 Ast, 9.8 Ast, 2.1 Stl and 0.3 Blk on 52.2% TS 3. Moses Malone - 24 Pts, 12.9 Reb, 1.5 Ast, 0.9 Stl and 1.4 Blk on 56.9% TS 2. Larry Bird - 24.9 Pts, 10.1 Reb, 6.3 Ast, 1.8 Stl and 0.8 Blk on 56.7% TS 1. Magic Johnson - 19.8 Pts, 7.3 Reb, 11.2 Ast, 2 Stl and 0.4 Blk on 60.8% TS Who are your 5 and why family?! #basketball #ballislife #bball #michaeljordan #jordan #magicjohnson #larrybird #isiahthomas #kareemabduljabbar #mosesmalone #nba #nba2k23 #nbafinals #nbaplayoffs
