Who was more impactful relative to their league?

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

But that is the specific conceit of the thread...

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

Is a way to separare the discussion from becoming about how portable moses is in the modern game

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.

Moses and quite clearly so.
