Best era of basketball ever
Ever
80s and 90s were both legendary eras. Thankfully I got to experience both.
Olajuwon and Jordan in the same era is insane! They may just be the two greatest players ever and they both came out of the same draft
Watching This Video Brings So Many tears To My Eyes.....So Many Memories!!!!! I Miss The 90's NBA. That Was The Golden Era Of The NBA!!!!!
Back when athletes were allowed to have personalities.
That's because their personalities were that of normal people. Not wanna be gangsters.

You forgot Dominique
💯💯✔️✔️
Ewing should be top 5
... at traveling.
90's the golden years of nba
80s and 90s.
When I actually like basketball!
Damn there was so many great NBA Basketball players in the 90's. We were entertained.
Agree with most of this list except for Dennis Rodman.
When I fell in love with the game.
lots of great players of 90's. Nice video!!
Imagine having MJ and Dream in your team.
+Niczer0 why don't, eh sprinkle a little bit of Magic and Bird in there then?
The two greatest players ever they would never lose
Dominique Wilkins shoulda been a honorable mention
He was more 80s
@@timhoward5 27ppg from 89/90 to 93/94 ..4 all-stars in the 80s, 5 all-stars in the 90s.
@@requiem4adream33 💯💯💯
EXCELLENT LIST!! CHRIS WEBBER is missing but you can argue he belongs to the 2000's list.
Mitch Richmond needs to be here
Exactly .
Soren Smith and mark price
Tod Wilkinson but Mitch is better than mullin
Mitch Richmond you smoking
10 of these 20 are actually among the 50 greatest players of all time
Well done, well done.
Jordan’s part gives me chills, hard to imagine someone that great, to bad I’m to young to see him play
You can see many games with him. RUclips has several finals and playoff games of the Chicago Bulls of Jordan era.
Was Chris Webber considered? Had most of his success in the early 00's but was still a beast in the 90's. Should have made more all star games than he did
98 was 1 of AI's most efficient seasons, actually. KJ, Rice, Mitch, Gill, Glenn "Big Dawg" Robinson, Vin Baker, etc... Ray Allen was ballin in the 90s too, but Glenn & Vin just got more touches. Dominique, Steve Smith, Sprewell, Webber, Larry Johnson... Man, this list would be so hard to make.
WOW!!!!
this is a great video!!!!
the players, the background music, truly 90s.
the 90s stars are the greatest.
ugh, i didn't need to be reminded of that stockton shot.
Lol
90s NBA wow so many superstar players in 1 decade and I can think of another 10 odd players who could easily make this list
Man this bring back memories. I still remember when Taco Bell had Shaq and Hakkim promote their new taco. "The Double Decker"
Thanks for the memories
What a great era
I like the video... As well as the backround music....
This 20 guys would eat the entirety of the actual NBA for breakfast.
Bruh Drexler and gp being disrespected on this list. Scottie is an all time great but he is far too high on this list not above those two for sure
Scottie starting to be so overrated! I respect him , but being the M.J's wing man was the biggest luck of his life,not a ''bad luck'' or a reason to be ''underrated''.He was always 40% FG and about 17 ppg.O.k he was a great defender and..you win a No7 on this list only with this? I would add Drexler to top-5 , Scottie maybe at the bottom of the list,and maybe not at all
Scottie pippen is a top 25 player ever
No Mitch Richmond? He is the most underrated two guard of all time. Way better than Reggie Miller on an overall level, consistent as hell and a lock down defender- even Jordan talked about how much trouble he gave him.
Richmond was NOT better than Miller
Yes he was. Any day every day. You‘re obviously a highlight-stan
+Alluviale Daempfer I think you may be the first person to ever agree with me on this. Reggie was just on much better teams and got more TV time than Richmond, but Mitch was actually better and it's not really close.
Yep, I think so too, I'm just glad he was able to exit with a championship for that reason even though he wasn't a major factor.
Nice list, but seriously, you have Chris Mullen as a top 20 player in the 90's?!? COME ON MAN! Mitch Richmond, J. Kidd, R. Strickland, K. Johnson, deserve his spot.
1a. Olajuwon 1b. Jordan
Jordan (1) hakeem (2)
Look no further than Ewing's 1990 season. It's outstanding. He's one of the greatest players to never win a title.
Barkley, Malone, Stockton
Well thought out list! Best era of basketball.
Drexler over Payton
Chicago vs Houston in the finals during the 90's is just like the modern Pacquiao vs Mayweather.. A DREAM! Both were virtually the most dominant teams in the East and West but never met in the finals.
Kevin Willis should be on that honorable mention list. ATL and HOU especially -during the 90's averaged about 15 pts/9 rebs. I don't think he gets enough credit.
Best era
Miller is 11 this guy can take 11 shots and end up with 30. And he didn't have a good enough team to win a championship. He took the bulls to the limit in 98 conference finals and Jordan had a team 3 times as good as millers. If he had a team like Jordan did he would've had 6 rings.
No he wouldn't and the bulls in 98 were old and injured, top 15 is perfect for miller.
the best era in the nba
aww man i miss this. if injury hasn't take its toll....
great list. great video. great ERA.
No way! leave Mully there.....lol.......im a warrior fan since run tmc you know....ja ja.........I think a top 25 will be better.......I love the video, that was a great era, where every team had an all star...........what about now? just MIA and LA..........it sucks!
Very wise to have the NBA on NBC theme song. Very wise..
great music selection
On my list:
I'd replace Reggie Miller, Tim Hardaway, Anfernee Hardaway, Grant Hill & Chris Mullin.
And I would put instead:
Dominique Wilkins, Joe Dumars, Isiah Thomas, Mitch Richmond & Chris Webber.
Other then that, this is indeed a great list!!!
fantastic video, great list. I'll have to agree.
thanks man!!!
this is good!!!
Great list.
Johnson retired early in the 90's but briefly returned in 1995 but he never played for most part of the 90's.
good stuff, those who doubt mullin as a top 20 I mean he put up over 50% from the field and over 40% from 3pt line, one of the best pure shooters of all time also selected to the dream team 1992, kidd reached his prime in early 00s in my opinion so if it was top 25 I would include him, but not top 20. KJ is worth consideration though.
I would add Dominique Wilkins instead of Dikembe Mutumbo and Mitch Richmond instead of Dennis Rodman. Mutumbo and Rodman are on this list because of their great, tenacious defense.
Great list!! even though i think mullin should be around the 15-12 spot
Drexler should be in top 10
How can you forget Magic, Isaiah Thomas And Dominique Wilkins ????
They were in their prime during the 80's
Alan Santiago Dominique had alot going on in the 90s to!!!
Good list
Back when Shaq wasn’t 350 pounds
nice list...u know what you know
Im here to see who is number 2 😂😂
good list except for one thing, clyde drexler should've been like 8 or 9 and he wasnt in his prime in the rockets but in the trailblazers. still a good list tho :)
I wish I was born in 1980 so I could grow up watching these people instead I was born in 99 still a 90's kid :D sorta
Larry Johnson, Mitch Richmond ? ?
Larry? Are you high?
Where is Allen Iverson I'm about to lose my mind
He wasnt really in the 90's more like 00's
+Jacob Dukee and very overrated.....
I agree only Real Fans would know he was a problem
@@jacobdukee2046 he was so Tim Duncan and Kobe
@@markbrinton6790 A problem, maybe, but overrated, hardly. Easily one of the most skilled players to have played the game. Unfortunately he played selfishly, probably because he was chasing MJ's ghost. But that aside, I don't think there's been a person yet that can match his ball handling skills and dude legit put up 30ppg every other season. He ended up averaging 26.7ppg for his career, more than many greats have averaged for a season.
forgot john starks
No they didn't
That was dope!
Anfernee Hardaway .
Does the number relate to the player greatness? Why you put Malone above Barkley?
Because he's better duh
Can't argue with that list. Maybe the order of the list, but definitely not the players.
I'm sorry but you obviously didn't put effort into the list penny hardaway at 18? David Robinson at 4? What is this
Do you know who robinson is? Why would you ask such a question do research.
Mullin at 20? U kidding me.Malone over Pippen? U kidding me. Payton over Stockton? U kidding me.
I'd take Malone over Pippen.
Payton is not over Stockton on this list. Payton 10 , Stockton 8 . I think Payton is a bit over Stockton though...take the 1996 wst. conf. finals between the Sonics and the Jazz...That matchup was won by Payton, and the series by the SuperSonics. And I would put Malone over Pippen 8 times out of 10 .
Gary Payton may be the best all around PG to play the game. Great defender, will drop 20. Excellent post game and even a good rebounder. Also one of the best trash talkers of all time and I'm big on the psychological edge.
You must be High AF
So y'all just going to leave out Larry Johnson, Stephon Marbury, John Starks, Patrick Ewing
They forgot about Xavier McDaniel the X-Man
Pippen is number 2
agree with your list back then the NBA rules almost every team had great players fuck the bulls im a jazz fan!
just the music alone bring back those days when people played the game minus the BITCH'n on the court
All those players you mentioned weren't at their best until the 2000s, so they wouldn't make this list. For example, Kobe wasn't at his prime until 2003.
Clydes the best in game dunked ever
Clyde is awesome,but gotta say Kemp!
Yep & in the70s when they both won it all. And b4 they were good w Wicks vs. Haywood lol. Dang I'm old

Church Service In my world Stockton is far above Malone.
How about Chambers?
Stockton deserves to be top 5 he was definitely the best point guard of the 90s and 2nd best point guard all time. I think miller deserved a spot over Alonzo mourning and Dennis rodman because miller with a desent team made it to 4 conference finals in the 90s and rodman benefited from playing with Jordan. Jordan could've still won those championships without rodman it was pippen he needed. Kevin Johnson deserves a spot. Shaq over Stockton in the 90s that's crazy shaq deserves number 8 or 9 spot
Everyone I have in front of Stockton has either won an MVP, been a top 3 MVP candidate or has lead a team to the Finals as a clear no. 1 option. Something Stockton has never done (with Malone being seen as the clear no. 1 and MVP of the team). 5 is way too high for Stockton IMO (obviously). I saw the 90's first hand and Stockton was NEVER at any point considered better or more dominant than the guys I have in front of him. Maybe he was at some points considered better than Pippen, probably in the early 90's, but that's it.
You could argue Miller over Mourning, I have no problem with that. Miller was a legendary playoff scorer, but really one dimensional. Mourning was a better 2 way player though. 20ppg scorer and a defender who grabbed 10+ boards, blocked 3-4 shots. Was DPOY in 1999.
Dennis Rodman has 7 rebounding titles, he won 4 with the Spurs and Pistons (twice averaging over 18 rebounds per game) and was twice an NBA All-Star and Defensive Player of the year winner (1991 and 1992 I believe). He was already one of the most accomplished rebounders and defensive players of all time before joining the Bulls. And for good measure, he'd already won 2 rings with the Pistons.
I have Kevin Johnson in the honorable mentions. He has an argument to be on the list, it's just not very strong.
*****
Kevin Johnson should be on the list
*1989/90*
Suns = 51-23 (0.689 win%) with KJ and Conference Finals
(beat MVP Magic Johnson and league-best record Lakers)
Suns = 3-5 (0.375 win%) without KJ
*1990/91*
Suns = 53-24 (0.688 win%) with KJ
Suns = 2-3 (0.400 win%) without KJ
The only years that KJ did not have as big impact are when Barkley was on the team, but even with Barkley on the team the Suns still sometimes did much worse without KJ
*1992/93*
Suns = 37-12 (0.755 win%) with KJ
Suns = 25-8 (0.758 win%) without KJ (with MVP Barkley)
Suns were 0-1 without KJ vs the 8-seed Lakers in the first round
3-1 vs the Lakers when KJ came back
*1993/94*
Suns = 49-18 (0.731 win%) with KJ
Suns = 7-8 (0.467 win%) without KJ (with Barkley)
*1994/95*
Suns = 32-15 (0.681 win%) with KJ
Suns = 27-8 (0.771 win%) without KJ (with Barkley)
46-3-10 (12/26 FG and 21/22 FTs) in Game 7 vs Rockets
*1995/96*
Suns = 30-26 (0.536 win%) with KJ
Suns = 11-15 (0.423 win%) without KJ (with Barkley)
And the most impressive
*1996/97*
Suns = 39-31 (0.557 win%) with KJ
Suns = 1-11 (0.083 win%) without KJ (no Barkley)
KJ = only player with Oscar/Isiah to average 20-10 for 3 straight years, almost tied them for a record 4th straight year (0.3 ppg short)
He was not the best of the 90s give me isiah thomas over sorry stockton any day the man had no man to man defense he was a liability. Isiah thomas destroyed Stockton on many occasions.
Isiah's last good season was 1992/93. Stockton was great the entire 90s. For 90s PGs, Stockton is probably the best. Maybe Payton because of his sick defense and he shut down Stockton when they met in their primes in the 96 WCF
Though if Kevin Johnson didn't have his injuries he would probably be the best PG in the 90s. He and Magic are the only players to average 20+ ppg 10+ apg on 50% in 2 different seasons, and almost did it a record 3rd season but shot 49.9%
+TyroneNBAFan
Some more great Kevin Johnson facts I got from Nobody Touches Jordan and some of my own
Kevin Johnson's accomplishments
had a winning record in every season as a starter when he played
1996 Suns = 30-26 with KJ, 11-15 without KJ
1997 Suns = 39-31 with KJ, 1-11 without KJ
1997 Suns were the absolute worst team in the league without KJ, but a very respectable 39-31 with KJ which would be a 45/46 win pace
only player with Isiah and Magic to
- average 20+ ppg 12+ apg in a season
only player with Magic Johnson to
- average 20+ ppg 12+ apg on 50% in a season
- average 20+ ppg 10+ apg on 50% in 2 seasons
-- KJ almost had a record 3rd season of 20-10 on 50% but shot 49.9% in 1989/90
only player with Magic Johnson to
- average 23+ ppg 12+ apg in a playoff run past the first round (1989), and the only one to do it past the 2nd round, as Magic lost in the 1990 WCSF when he averaged 25.2 ppg and 12.8 apg
only player with Magic Johnson to
- average 20+ ppg 10+ apg in 3 playoff runs past the first round
- Magic did it a record 4 times
NBA record 5 different playoff runs averaging 20+ ppg 9+ apg
- and all of those 20-9 runs went past the first round
In his 9 years as a starter (1988/89 to 1996/97)
- KJ averaged 19.8 ppg 10.0 apg on 49.7%
- just short of 20 ppg 10 apg on 50% for his career as a starter
- for his entire 9 years as a starter, KJ nearly averaged what only he and Magic have done in multiple seasons, 20 ppg 10 apg on 50%
only player with Oscar and Isiah to
- average 20+ ppg 10+ apg for 3 straight years
- Magic also did this in 3 different years, but not consecutive
- KJ almost tied Oscar and Isiah for a record 4th straight year of 20-10, but averaged 19.7 ppg in 1991/92
only player with Oscar and Isiah to
- average 23+ ppg 11+ apg in multiple playoffs
- Oscar did it in 1962, 1965, and 1967, but lost in the first round all 3 times
- Isiah did it in 1985 and 1986, but lost in the 1986 first round
- that makes KJ the only player to average 23-11 in multiple playoffs past the first round (1989 WCF and 1992 WCSF)
KJ also would have averaged 23-11 in the 1990 WCF run for a record 3rd time, but he was injured in the first and last game of the playoffs and played 9 and 14 minutes in those games which brought his averages down
The 1990 Suns were 0-2 in those 2 games that KJ was injured and played under 15 minutes, so including the 1993 Suns' loss to the 8-seed Lakers without KJ, the Suns were 0-3 in the playoffs when KJ was injured or out during his time as a starter
KJ also led the 1990 Suns past MVP Magic Johnson's league-best record Lakers in the 1990 WCSF. This is one of only 3 times Magic lost with homecourt advantage (1981, 1986).
And in 1997/98 when he was an injured shell of himself, the Suns were still 15-2 when he played 30+ minutes
also
KJ has the 2nd highest scoring performance in Game 7 history, Nique had 47 against the 88 Celtics and Sam Jones had 47 against Oscar's 63 Royals
KJ dropped 46-10 on 12/26 FG and an insane 21/22 FTs on Hakeem's 1995 Rockets which is the only 40-10 in game 7 history. So you can make a case that KJ had the best offensive output in Game 7 history because he had the 2nd highest Game 7 scoring performance, insane efficiency from FTs, and 10 assists to go with that. That's at least 66 points assuming all assists were 2 points
Most underrated PG in history.
Dominique Wilkins was great but his best years were in the 80's, I believe.
He was one of the best in the league in the 90's.
Dominique was averaging 25 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists & 1 steal per game from 1991-1995.
no way mourning above rodman...reggie below Drexler...and most of all robinson above shaq. Are you crazy?
Magic is the greatest,but he retired in the middle of 91 and only played like 30 games after that .so not part of the 90s.
John Starks And Kevin Johnson Need To Be Here!!!!!
oak too
+melokid99 Agreed!
This is a top 20 list, not top 100 list.
+Trev nunya top 50 the would be
Yeah, True That.
it's a top 20 of the 90's. pay attention.
Good list- need more than one stockton highlight and f Jordan and his push off.
LMAO no push-off all clean
Where’s Dominique ?
I think Reggie Miller was a tad too low given his presence -in the East Conf. play-offs especially. Ask Patrick Ewing and Spike Lee ;)
let me put Isaiah thomas mark price and dominique! (1990-92)
Is Jason Kid in the 2000 era?
Yeah, more 2000s than 90s.
Magic Johnson?
DHXL0LAX Magics day was in the 80s he only played until 92
Be foreal, dude
Dominique was more prominent in the 80s.
Was Tim hardaway on the list? Cmon now
19
where is Allan Iverson?
Chris Mullen was a beast... Tf?
The Bulls had 4 players on this list + Steve Kerr but "Jordan didn't need a super team to win"
Jordan made them great. Pippen wouldn't be on this list if it wasn't for Mike.
Bulls weren't a super team. Where do you see four player & why mention a role player.
They weren't a superteam, the triangle system they used was what made it difficult for opposing teams to gameplan for them.
