What do you mean by "even better than Duncan" like that's some kind of slight. Duncan has a legit case for being top 5 all time.

G.O.A.T Power Forward easily.

2nd most skilled big man ever behind Hakeem IMO

NO!!!

And I’ve been on this crusade for years!

It’s not even a diss at Bron

But the first 10 years of TD’s career he was an elite scorer and is arguably the greatest defensive player ever

He has a legit claim to being the best player ever.

He came into the league putting up 21/12/2/2. In his late 30s, he was putting up 18/10/2/2 with good offensive efficiency. Between age 23 and age 35, he put up the type of numbers and had the type of defensive impact specifically that means that he has a legit claim to GOAT. If someone ranked him above LeBron, they would have an easy time making a reasonable argument for that ranking.

I wouldn't place him over MJ, but I bet with about thirty minutes to look at the numbers, and based on what I saw from him with my own two eyes, I could make a case that would have you like :ehh: even if you didn't agree with it.

I have Duncan over Kobe all time and think it's crazy that Shaq and Duncan are just skipped over as far as even recent players. When they say Lebron is the most dominant since Jordan it's disrespectful to all three of them. Duncan with 5 titles as the man with two MVPs and his team never losing less than 50 games. Problem is Duncan wasn't a stat chaser and truly did was best for the team even if it hurt his numbers.

Let's forget the GOAT talk, we need to revisit who is the greatest SF of all time first, because that's a tossup between Durant and Bird right now
