Ranking: Jordan, Olajuwon, after that, I don't know.
There are quite a lot of really great players that get forgotten like Mitch Richmond, etc.
Jordan actually missed out a total of almost 4 seasons in 90s, somehow still won 6.

@@Henry-ii1cw Oh no, basketball has changed! It's easy to see why you believe the era was so weak. No mixtapes. No flashy workouts. You can see how different basketball was played back then, seeing as how the talent discrepancy could look so large between the two era's. Neither is necessarily worse or better, but just different. You could argue the old era had more defense, more fundamentals. But the new era has more offense, more evenly individual talented players with more athleticism and fundamentals.

@Rico Wright fam I don't know how folks think Malone was better then Barkley cus if it wasn't for Stockton as Isaiah Thomas pointed out Malone would've never been seen as being a hall of famer. Cus I need folks to name me one thing he was better at than Barkley cus they both ran the floor great, both had post up moves, but where it separates is Barkley was a better ball handler, passer, and rebounder and neither was great at defense so that's a scratch. Also I feel u on Clyde Drexler cus he don't get the credit he deserve but I must let u kno that he did play with other all stars cus Terry Porter went to several all star games as well as Cliff Robinson play in one

I would put Drexler either 5th or 6th. He led Portland to the NBA Finals in both '90 and '92. His Portland teams were usually in the top 3 in regular season wins those seasons including the best record in '91 (63 wins). Then, he goes onto Houston and finally gets his ring with Olajuwon in '95. Drexler was the second best shooting guard from the late 80s into the mid 90s.

What’s so troubling about this is that Michael Jordan had (almost) identical PPG numbers with Washington as Clyde Drexler had in his prime (according to this video) and yet, Jerry Stackhouse said that he wish he HADN’T played with Mike in Washington. On a side note though....... I gotta give props to Ewing for that steal and dunk @ 5:23. I think that it was on my 90’s squad too. I loved watching The Bulls play, when I could catch them on national tv, but THAT was a nice steal and dunk by Pat.

Really good player tho!! Pip Sacrificed his numbers to make sure the offense was running and teammates had their rhythm. That’s the reason all of his teammates praise him to this day... could literally control a game without scoring a bucket!!! Sometimes Draymond’s impact reminds me of this. Now throw in 21 a game and you’ll see why Pip’s name is constantly brought up in these conversations. For some reason people think Mj’s greatness is diminished if Scottie receives his due and it’s annoying!!! Mike was greatest but Those of us former athletes who understands and appreciates the team concept knows who the soul of those teams was(1992-98)
