Which year-long timeframe was responsible for most NBA basketball team?
Not asking which single date year but year-long timeframe for births.

Example, you may choose Jordan born on Feb 17th in 1963 as a key part of talent.
Now you look for most talent around Jordan and you find from August 5th 1962 to August 4th 1963 you get this team:
Dumars, Jordan, Barkley, Malone, Hakeem -- Hornacek, Mullin, Schrempf, Thorpe, Ewing
Or you find from March 26th 1962 to March 25th 1963 you get this team:
Stockton, Jordan, Drexler, Barkley, Hakeem -- Adams, Alvin, Schrempf, Thorpe, Ewing

the year with hakeem, barkley, malone and jordan you mentioned may already be it tbh

no othet combo of 4 different top 20-30 all time players (including two top 10 player peaks) that i can think of

May 27th 1984 to May 26th 1985:
CP3, Roy, LeBron, Melo, Marc Gasol -- Deron, Redick, Deng, Millsap, Noah

Is that better than a Jordan one?

As falco said I strongly doubt anyone is beating these, Duncan/KG/Allen/Iverson is probably one of next best

After looking at basketball reference's birth year tracker TIL someone born in 1902 played in the league. There was a coach that activated himself for a few games in 1948.

Oh yeah that's a good one:

June 5th 1975 to June 4th 1976
AI, Miller, Allen, Garnett, Duncan -- Jason Williams, Mobley, Joe Smith, Van Horn, Big Z,

Awesome

What about 29 Sep 1988 to 28 Sep 1989:
Westbrook, Harden, Butler, Durant, Griffin -- Rose, Gordon, DeMar, Morris, Serge -- IT, Tyreke, Batum, Bojan, Whiteside

Or just the year of 1988
Wesbrook, Curry, Durant, Love, Jordan -- Rose, Gordon, Batum, Gallo, BroLo
