In the 90‘s, it was the common opinion that Michael Jordan was the best player in the league, even if he didnt win the MVP every season. So at least from 1991-1998, Jordan was the leagues best player.

But after 1998, which players would you say held the unofficial title of „the best player in the league“? What were the time spans between the respective passing the torch?

I think Harden having 4 years in a row with the highest win shares of any player has to mean he was at least 1B in one of those years.

Also Steph has to be 1A or 1B in more years. The guy has been the only actual opposition to LeBron. With all the respect to Thompson, Draymond and even KD but you put all those players in other teams and they don’t sore as high. We saw that in Steph injury years and we saw that again in 2022 where he willed his team to a ring.

Conclusion, I like your list but would give Harden and Steph their well deserved flowers.
