One clarification: the original thread is about looking at these players in their peak year, not their career. 

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

Not really a melo fan, but if you think battier and prince’s peak seasons were better than melo’s peak season you are delusional. 

[dmo21Participant]

 1. James

2. Pierce

3. Anthony

4. Stojakovic

5. Marion

6. Kirilenko

7. Iguodala

8. Deng

9. Jefferson
