    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.

    People are scared to admit it but he is a lock for TOP 5

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

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