Moses Malone peaked higher, I don’t much care for the “for their era” caveat.

I see that, but I just don’t know how we’re supposed to seperate “relative to era” from just raw impact.

Playoffs AD was incredible, but overall, Moses was much more impactful in the regular season and the difference is quite stark. Have to go Moses here.

Moses won league and finals mvp in front of fans and swept the Lakers who won the title 2 of the last 3 years.
