[Black Ball]

Malone
Kevin McHale
Elvin Hayes
Dan Issel
Tim Duncan
Kevin Garnet

GOAT

 

[BmoreGorilla]

best ever

 

[MJ Truth]

Karl Malone is the best to me, even though I think Duncan, Dirk, and McHale all had greater skillsets. Malone's aggressiveness (and his passing ability, which is underrated) made up for a lot though.

Tools or utilization? As great and unstoppable as he is, my one gripe against Duncan is that he's been coasting for a good half of his career, not even averaging 20ppg. That has to count against him when seeing someone like Barkley, Dirk, even KG...not to mention Mailman, who I think only had 2 seasons under 20, in 21 years.

You know what? I seriously don't know how to rank Duncan.

Both, I think his utilization is directly tied to his dominance on offense or lack there of.

He stopped averaging over 20 PPG because the team dynamics changed

Parker and Ginobili started taking YUGE roles.

I'd put him as maybe No. 5 on that list for offense alone....behind K. Malone, Barkley (he's a SF tho) and Dirk (sorry but as a big man his J is too nice) and KG (an all around threat)....but with everything combined.... he's arguably the best PF ever

 

[mikishere]

3rd behind Malone and Dirk

That's no excuse. Ginobili never averaged 20 and Parker only did twice. He should've still been a 20ppg scorer in his 10th year, when he was at 18...or whatever year that was when Parker lead the team at 19.

Dude Barkley was a beast, one of the must unstoppable forces on offense ever.

 

[Suleiman Bey]

Tim Duncan isn't close to being the best ever at anything.

 

[Suleiman Bey]

Mailman averaged 25 & 10 for his entire career. His lowest scoring season was the year he played with Kobe, Shaq & Payton

You gotta take into account pace minutes played and shots taken too. But lets not sit here and act like prime Timmy couldn't have averaged close to 30 a game if he wanted to.
