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?
Lebron got voted the best player in the world by a wide majority by players and gms in 21.5 untill Solomon hill injury , he came off a finals mvp and was heavy favourite for mvp over jokic . Once embid went down it was Brons mvp to lose . Weird how people forget things.
