Oh come on.... you're gonna despoil the thread's first reply with that nonsense? This is why we can't have nice things, lol.

This place is the jungle. Come prepared or face doom.

2. 2003 Tim Duncan - another GOAT-level season, massive carryjob.
3. 2002 Tim Duncan - even bigger carryjob than 2003, Duncan was forced to do more than he should have.
4. 1964 Wilt Chamberlain - I have this season really close to 2002, but I think that Duncan did a little more offensively with what he had than Wilt in 1964. It is very close though and Duncan didn't face as good defensive team as 1964 Celtics during his peak.

5. 2007 Tim Duncan - I'd have 1968 ahead without injury, but I can't take incomplete season over such a well-rounded performance from Timmy.
6. 1968 Wilt Chamberlain - I have this above 2001 Duncan because I think that Wilt was more polished player than 2001 Timmy, who still didn't reach his best in reading the game on both ends of the floor.
7. 1962 Wilt Chamberlain - I like what Wilt did in the playoffs against Boston a bit more than what Duncan did against the Lakers. People always remember his low scoring game 7 performance, but they don't realize that before this game Wilt averaged 36/28/3 on +4 rTS% against GOAT defensive team.
8. 2001 Tim Duncan - extremely good performance from Timmy, should have won the MVP award in that season.

9. 2005 Tim Duncan - monster impact metrics from this season, but he struggled with health unfortunately. Still, it's more complete season than any of Wilt's available.
10. 1965 Wilt Chamberlain - it's close between 1965 and 2004, basically the fight between low effort in RS due to health problems and mid-season trade vs durability issues. I decided to pick Wilt over Duncan, because he was clearly better in postseason.
11. 1966 Wilt Chamberlain - again, it was very strong MVP-level RS season from Wilt and even though he struggled in the playoffs, it wasn't really worse than Duncan's struggles vs Lakers.
12. 2004 Tim Duncan - I feel comfortable with 2004 finishing the list. It was very strong, but incomplete season with missed games and questionable performances in the playoffs. That said, it's clearly better than any other Wilt season available.
