Can you consider a player who averages less than 20ppg dominant?

The MVP isn't based on postseason context though. Not to mention they played the Hornets, Pacers and Celtics - teams that probably wouldn't even make the playoffs in the West. Their team defense was what took them to the Finals.

Nah, i just like bringing up the fact that Kidd took them sorry ass nikkas to the finals :russ:

Yeah for sure though most are bigs that make most of their impacts defensively. Rare exceptions though

Bill Walton (say what you want but when healthy he was averaging 17 a game and Portland was ELITE with him)
Bill Russell (defensively, rebounding, facilitating post Cousy retirement)
Dennis Rodman (defensively in '89-'92, '96, rebounding)
Steve Nash (offensively)
Nate Thurmond (dominant as fukk man-to-man defender)
Ben Wallace (though Rasheed helped his defense out a bit..)
Magic had a crazy prime where you could consider a few years his peak and he didn't average 20 PPG in some of those years
John Stockton (again say what you want but he kept Sloan's offense elite, showed up in the clutch, accounted considerably for Malone's offensive output, great defender)
Tim Duncan later on

Rudy Gobert low key achieving this status with his defense

Then you had guys like Reggie Miller who wasn't always a 20 PPG scorer (was very close for most of his career though) who always impacted opposing defenses in such a way that you could consider the attention he received as a shooter as dominating or borderline dominating.
