![]() ![]() You can't compare and scrutinize players of this calibre to such a degree where one is unanimously better than the other. Rather there's a small group of players who each can have a claim of GOAT status depending on what you value most. I never liked the idea of one GOAT in nba. And Tim was a world class athlete in a second sport (swimming) while MJ was not as good at his second sport (baseball). Also Tim never tried to trademark taco Tuesday.īy all accounts MJ was a meanie. And he didn’t really try except during the playoffs.Ģ-1 head to head finals record. Lots of times, he didn’t even run down the court. ![]() Kareem didn’t work hard enough on defense. Timmy was a good defense guy and never had a lifelong rivalry with someone named Larry. Except Wilt, but I’m not convinced Wilt was a real person. It’s possible bill was better, but it’s impossible to know because he played against school teachers and milk men. Russel didn’t play against any one that was over 6 feet and only had real competition on the weekends when other players were free from their 9-5 jobs. Timmy’s twilight years had a lot more success than Shaq’s, winning a championship. Duncan was more cerebral, a better defender (though Shaq was great too), and had a more versatile offensive game with more post moves and a midrange game. For shits, I’ll try to make an argument for Timmy over each of these guys. Again, top ten easy, but the greatest ever? I'm afraid not.Ĭhallenge accepted. There's just not a solid argument for Duncan being the single greatest player in the history of basketball. Team oriented success is a bit overblown in the goat argument tbh.Įven with that 6-0 record that OP proposed it still wouldn't be enough to elevate him into the GOAT argument because his personal stats referenced above, a reflection of a player's overall impact on a basketball court, simply don't match up to the guys above him and those same guys above him still have better individual accolades - more MVPs, Finals MVPs etc. As a defender, he was at least on the same level though.Īlso, Spurs had very good teams and an all time great coach pretty much every single one of Duncan's seasons in the league, of course they're going to do well. For a big man he wasn't that efficient a scorer peaking with a TS% of just 57.9% while the likes of MJ & LeBron have several seasons above 60%. He never led the league in any of the five big box score stats (p-r-a-s-b) while MJ was a ten time scoring champ and three time steals champ. He never had a regular season BPM above 9 while Jordan's career BPM is 9.2, peaking at 13. His personal stats, mainly his advanced metics, while excellent they don't quite stack up to the likes of Jordan and LeBron. He won five rings but wasn't Finals MVP in all of them (he missed out twice). Absolutely all timer, top ten easy but GOAT? Nope.
