Who had the best peak in NBA history? Who was the best at his best? This video compares the greatest multi-season peaks in NBA history, and includes voting from Thinking Basketball subscribers. Since we can't quite compare the legends from '50s and '60s on similar ground to players from the 3-point era, the cutoff here is the 1977 ABA-NBA merger.

This is the 16th and final episode in a series on the greatest peaks in NBA history (focusing on 1977-2020), featuring detailed scouting reports and film breakdown on the best players in NBA history at their best, along with analysis of their impact using historical data & stats to size up the highest peaking players ever.
