Re: Why not Duncan for GOAT?
GOAT status factors:
Solo Accolades
Team Accolades
Numbers
Peak Value
Longevity being great
Impact on the league (redefining a position, causing rules changes, globalizing the game,etc.)
When u add all these factors up NO WAY is Duncan the GOAT. In my opinion, the top 4 are MJ, Kareem, Russ, and Magic. But the next six spots are very interchangeable in how u could rank it. So at best, I see Tim in the top 5 or 6.

And he won 5 in a more stacked league compared to the watered down 90s
People are scared to admit it but he is a lock for TOP 5
KAJ
MJ
BRON
RUSSELL (popular vote)
DUNCAN

Because he was never the consensus most dominant player on BOTH ends of the floor for his entire era.
You facetious troll.

Not enough from Duncan to be GOAT, but I have him at 7 so he's top 5 runner.
