Please explain Steph being the best player in 2017 and 2019, Duncan being the best player in 2002 and 2004, Kobe being the best in 2009 and KD being the best in 2018. Half your selections are trash

Steph in 2017.....was amazing. 28/7/6 in the postseason on 49/42/90. Played ever game. 16-1 Warriors. 27/9/8 in the finals. The warriors went something like 24-1 in the last 25 games....w/out KD in 2017 (injury) and Steph went Dumb. Matt Barnes, Pat Mccaw we’re splitting time at the 3. 2019.....Steph stared the season shooting 50/50/90....got hurt...the KD drama...and came back and still made 1st team all nba. One of his highest TS% years too. Playoffs....he took a depleted team to the finals against the rockets/blazers and averaged 30ppg on a box -1 in the finals .

Duncan won MVP in 02. They lost in a series where the other team had superior talent in Prime Shaq & Kobe years.....while no Many & Tony Parker a rookie. Duncan averaged 25ppg...his next scorer was a 36 year old David Robinson at 12ppg. Then a 32 year old Steve Smith at 11ppg

Too many in this thread have not listed a single year in which Kobe was the best player.

That's bogus and y'all know it.

At the same time I'm relieved to see that nobody listed Nash, because as we all know, there was never a point in history where he was the best player on the planet despite what MVP voters would have you believe.

Idk how y’all give Bron 17, 18, 19. KD & Steph were better. They just played on the same team.
