Who Had The Greatest Season In NBA History?

A look at the greatest single seasons of all time.

Follow us!

The NBA has been around since 1946. Over the years, we have seen some unbelievable individual seasons by all-time great players. In an effort to reward these performances and distinguish the best from each particular season, following the 1955-1956 season, the NBA began handing out an annual MVP award, also known as the Maurice Podoloff Trophy. Just as there have been debates and controversy surrounding this award in various seasons, such as Steve Nash winning it over Kobe Bryant in 2006, people have also disagreed about which of those MVP seasons stood out above the rest. Let’s settle the debate once and for all and answer who had the greatest single season ever.

Who Had The Greatest Season In NBA History?

How about Hakeem's season with MVP, DPOY, Finals MVP and Championship

[hoverboard]

Wilt's 100 points 25 rebounds and Hakeem's DPOY, MVP, Finals MVP, Championship will never be forgotten

[dirknowitzki]

Hakeem????

Finals MVP
MVP
DPOY
All nba 1st
All star

[Ben-st]

So you forgot about wilt Chamberlain averaging 50
points in a season

[the_moe]

Umm, didn't wilt averaged 50ppg, 27rpg, and scored 100 points

[zeriq]

Wilt had the greatest "regular" season ever but including playoffs I give it to MJ

[igplays]

Nah this should go to Hakeem,
He won mvp, dpoy, fmvp, championship, all-NBA first team, all-nba fensive first team, and DOMINATED other all time greats

[memesupport]

Why wasn't my undefeated season in my career with my my player that averaged 78 points a game?!?!?!?

[eboyonline]

LeBron’s 2012/2013 season was his 2nd* title where he beat the Spurs* in the finals. C’mon you guys should know this

[godfather]

The disrespect Wilt continues to get is mind boggling. No one has ever come close to doing what he did in one season.

[jamespuso]

Wilt Chamberlain in '66-67. MVP and championship year. Averaged 24 points, 24 rebounds and 7 assists on 68% shooting. 21 points, 29 rebounds and 9 assists in the playoffs. Almost a triple double with 20 in 2 stats! Plus he beat Russel's Celtics...nobody else can say they did that when Bill played the whole series.Kind of an unusual choice compared to his statistically insane years but this was the year he got that championship and showed he could dominate in a way that's conducive to winning.

[ips]

Wilt Chamberlain's 1961-62. 50.4 points per game. 27.2 rebounds per game. 48.5 minutes per game. 100 points in a game. Nuf said.

Greatest Individual Season Ever
Shaquille O'neal 1999-00

Michael Jordan 1990-91
Magic Johnson 1986-87
Kareem Abdul-Jabar 1970-71

[Zach_Ravel]

*Julius Erving 1975-76 in the ABA*

Regular Season: 29.3 PTS, 11.0 REB, 5.0 AST, 2.5 STL, 1.9 BLK, +5.2 rTS%, MVP, All-Defensive
Playoffs: 34.7 PTS, 12.6 REB, 4.9 AST, 1.9 STL, 2.0 BLK, +9.3 rTS%, Championship

[chuala]

How about Jordan's 1987-1988 Season MVP, DPOY, All Star MVP, Dunk champ, Steals champ, Scoring Champ and etc.

[scottieglover]

Wilt averaged 50 pts and 25 rebs 1 year

[johnnelsongalvan]

LeBron's 2012-2013 season Heat defeated the Spurs not the Thunder.

[weedzonthebus]

LeBron did not have 66-16 record when he and the Heat won against OKC it's the Spurs in 12-13 season

[lotofblah]

I would say MJ was way better in 92-93 than 90-91. He averaged better numbers and was more efficient along with averaging 42 in the finals
