Harden is a point guard. Should be him vs CP3 for 2nd team.

Giannis vs Duncan isn't really tricky since 90% of Duncan's career still happened after 1999, and he's viewed as someone in the top 5-7 GOAT conversation.

Jokic vs Shaq is more "interesting" since we're omitting the better half of Shaq's career ('92-'99). So basically Shaq's 4 title seasons vs Jokic's 6 to 7 great to monsterous individual seasons

Dirk over Garnett is interesting as well, but i get it. The early 00s was basically a 2-man debate between Duncan vs KG. Duncan basically left him in the dust and then Dirk sneakily got in the convo for #2 without there ever being a direct ongoing comparison with KG like there was with KG/Duncan. Dirk vs KG seemed to pick up only happen after 2011... since the stigma on Dirk was he was a p*ssy, until he wasn't (2011) and then you had to reframe the entire narrative about him.

SHAQ WAS 7X FIRST TEAM
ALL NBA, 2X ALL DEFENSE,
SCORING CHAMP, RUNNER UP DPOY
ON TOP OF A DAMN 3PEAT

LMAO @ REDUCING HIS
2000S TO "FOUR TITLE SEASONS"
JUST TO ACT LIKE ITS CLOSE

:devil:

They right. Dirk wasn't better than KG or AD. I can understand the Shaq pick since you're basically removing 7 all star seasons :yeshrug:

To be fair, Shaq’s own actions over the past couple of years has cost him fans.

But Shaq's action have been the same throughout his entire career. It's not like he just changed to become as he is now.

And why isn't Westbrook on here?
