Kawhi
Robinson
Wade
Kobe

Peak Kawhi is borderline just a hypothetical, but I rate it super highly. Since 2017, in the playoffs, Kawhi is averaging 30/9/5 on 64% TS%. Relatively small sample size, but still. If we took into account the chance of injury, then Kawhi would not be at the top.

I must have missed Kobe turning a lotto team into a contender like D.Rob did. Peak D Rob is miles ahead.

To say the least. Robinson was top 3 on both ends in stacked years. Jordan, Olajuwon and Shaq are among the best scorers ever and minus Shaq, defenders also.

I value the regular season and playoffs to a similar degree, which ends up hurting the sole clear playoff dropper in DRob. Kobe isn't clearly better offensively than Wade or Kawhi, but is clearly worse defensively.

It's not about dropping it's about overall performance. Robinson still had some very good performances, with and without Duncan. 1990 and 1996 were good runs and Robinson was very good on both ends.

Kobe played great in a much harder to score era. Kawhi is in an inflated era and as such doesn't standout much.

Robinson's best postseason run all things concerned was probably 1995 to be honest.

1996 looks decent enough if you stop at looking at his boxscore averages. It's because Robinson dominated a weak defensive team in the first round, but then he underperformed heavily in the next round against the Jazz.
