I told you guys on a community post to give us your best NBA hot takes, but this time specifically

about NBA history.

So these are all-time debates, all-time hot takes, stuff people think from past decades,

maybe some current players compared to past decades, a lot of different topics, but all

relating to the history of the league.

Offseason conversations.

First off, Cody Rickards said,

Hakeem Elijah wants 1994 season when he won MVP,

finals MVP, DPOI, first team all defense,

and third in scoring is the greatest season in NBA history.

That's not crazy at all.

It's not on the short list,

but is it the number one most impressive season you can think of?

No, and so I like what they did here, right? Adding first team all NBA, first team all defense. Because most of the time, if you win the MVP, you're going to be first team all NBA. If you win DPRY, you're going to be a majority of the people are going to be first team all defense. Just trying to add in accolades.'s already built in implied the biggest accolade is just missing from there and don't forget third

in scoring too what an accolade so but if you go down the list of people who want MVP finals

MVP and d p o why you have like you have Janice, you have him.

Karim maybe did it maybe. No, it's only Janus, Michael Jordan, and him. This is up there. Who won MVP and D.P.O.I. I mean, no, but Mike didn't win. No, but in the same season is what I'm saying. Because, no, Mike didn't win D.P. In a single year. He won the same year one MVP. I don't know if he won the finals later year.

Yeah, no, because he got D.P. O.W.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't think he ever got d p o y in in the run yeah i think he didn't he didn't win the finals that same year yeah so so it's so it's either are we picking yannis in 21 or are we picking hakeem here i think but even then like you can have a season like this and one of Jordan's seasons in 95 or whatever can still be a better season. Yeah. I mean, there's years in 1992, Jordan was third in DPOI. In 1993, he was second DPOI. So it was striking distance. He just didn't win it. Probably because people like Hakeem were winning it. but I think if we're counting third in score and I can count a third in DPR one.

I think all these considered with the carry it probably because people like he came are winning it but i think if we're counting third in

score and i can count uh third in dvahs i think all these considered with the carry job
