If you had to make a list of the top 10 regular season performers/players of all time and the top 10 playoff performers/players of all time what would your list look like?

Lebron, Kareem, and Russell would be the toppers for both

playoff-only hakeem might be 4, rs-only maybe kg.

All considered it might look something like...

Regular Season
1. Russell
(gap)
2. Kareem
3. Lebron
(gap)
4. KG
5. Duncan
6. Steph
7. Magic
8. Wilt
9. Shaq
10. Hakeem or MJ

Playoffs
1. Russell
(gap)
2. Lebron
3. Kareem
(gap)
4. Duncan
5. Hakeem
(gap)
6. Jordan
7. Wily
(gap)
8. Magic
9. Oscar
(gap)
10. Steph/Kobe

(giannis/jokic ect excluded for now just due to not seeing alot of their prime)

Interested if Mikan makes any lists with so much data missing. Another early players that will be ignored because of it but seemed to be a major playoff riser would be Cliff Hagan.

I'd have David Robinson over Hakeem for regular season then reverse it for playoffs for prime; Hakeem has a longevity edge. Hard to see Jordan tied for 10th in regular seasons.

Not ordering. Career value in RS, career value in playoffs.

Guys in both top 10s - Russell, Wilt, KAJ, MJ, Shaq, Duncan, LeBron (Wilt/Shaq somewhat narrowly in on both, MJ narrow on RS, cleanly in POs, others might be top 4 in both, KG maybe sneaking past a few for RS)

RS Only - Oscar, K.Malone, KG (Oscar/KG not having the opportunity to get in on POs, Karl had the opportunity, just a fairly notable dropper)

PO - Mikan, Magic, Kobe (all reasonably close on RS, but I think just short)

In no order aside from chronological:

RS - Russell, Wilt, Kareem, Bird, Magic, Jordan, Duncan, Garnett, James, Curry

PS - same list of names majority wise - but perhaps replace Curry, Bird, and Garnett with Shaq, Hakeem, and one of Kobe / West

No love for Reggie Miller in playoffs?

Dude was 26 pp75 on +9.9 rTS for like 11 seasons.
