Funny how breaking it down by decades means a player like Shaq gets forgotten. If the "decade" was 1995 to 2005, Shaq would've most definitely been at the top. But Shaq shared most of the 90s with MJ, and was on the decline after 2005. So...

Mikan, Kareem, Magic, Kobe, LeBron. All played for the Lakers. Amazing. And I am a GSW fan.

1960s: Bill Russell and Wilt
1970s: Kareem
1980s: Magic and Bird
1990s: MJ and Hakeem
2000s: Kobe, Dunccan and Shaq
2010s: Bron and Curry

These are the top 11 all time right now

[chan-kinruizyanez]

1950s Mikan
1960s Wilt and Bill
1970s Kareem
1980s Magic and Larry
1990s G.O.A.T. Jordan
2000s Timmy and Kobe
2010s Lebron
2020s Luka and Giannis?

“Never fear, E.J’s here” What a rhyme

[louiszhang]

I’d put Bird and Magic for the 80’s and Duncan and Kobe for the 2000’s.

Giannis: I took that personally

[MOONSPORTS]

It is still mind boggling that Kobe only has 1 MVP.
Astonishingly disrespectful.

[ojparker]

50s-Mikan&Petitt
60s-Wilt&Bill
70s-Kareem&Dr.J
80s-Bird&Magic
90s-Jordan&Hakeem
00s-Shaq, Timmy&Kobe
10s-LeBron, Durant&Curry
20s-Giannis&Luka

[XavierSchwartzTheOriginal]

My book:
60s: Bill Russel
70s: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
80s: Shared: Larry Bird & Magic Johnson
90s: Michael Jordan
00s: Shared: Tim Duncan & Kobe Bryant
10s: Lebron James

[Sot_Kip.]

TD is one of my favorite players but Kobe is undoubtedly the NBA icon of the 00s. Three peat, back to back championships and crazy scoring streaks and offensive performances in a decade.

[robert]

Dude the comments is a war zone between who was better in 00s Kobe or Duncan. Can ppl just chill it’s fine to disagree.

[dr]

50s - Bob Cousy
60s - Bill Russell
70s - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
80s - Magic Johnson
90s - Michael Jordan
00s - Kobe Bryant
10s - LeBron James
20s - Giannis Antetokounmpo

5:17 -- People Forget that 4 of Kobe's rings came in the 2000's (2000-2009) and that he made 6 of the 10 FINALS in that decade.
The last 2 finals he made, he was doing it his way too! Much Respect for the rebuild man! Massive work and hard to do.

[ncsouthernguy]

George Mikan is the only player ever to win 7 titles in 3 different leagues! Amazing player during his time.

[blakeok]

Mikan doesn't have his lakers number retired, but lakers are still trying to count their minnesota rings.

[Quanic]

1950's: Mikan
1960's: Wilt
1970s: Kareem
1980's: Magic
1990's: MJ
2000's: Kobe
2010's: LeBron
2020's: ALEX

I'd put Magic second - behind the legend. Larry Legend - for the 1980s.

[ABLNE]

60s, Wilt. 70s, Kareem. 80s, Magic. 90s, Jordan. 00s, Kobe. 10s, LeBron. 20s, Who knows.
