Duncan not only never missed the play-offs, but won 50+ games...
Every. Single. Time.
True definition of a winner.
GOAT. Impact.
Otoh, normal humans like Jordan, LeBron, Kareem, Kobe, etc missed the play-offs multiple times, some even in their prime, and had numerous sub-50 win seasons giving their teams low seeds with low chances of play-off success.
The GOAT isn't supposed to lose enough games to not even qualify for the play-offs, thus not giving their team even a chance to win, and only Duncan fulfilled this GOAT requirement.
Who cares if you never lose in the first round if you didn't even qualify for the play-offs to begin with?
Making the play-offs > missing the play-offs. No if's, and's or but's about it.
Who's really GOAT, someone who gives their team 12 chances to win it all or someone who gives their team 19 chances?

he had maybe 3 mediocre casts his whole career(02-04) and they were certainly good enough to make the playoffs. Kobe, Wade, KG, Lebron etc would've loved to have those rosters some years.

Those players all had stacked rosters/superteams.
Kobe - Shaq (another top 5-10 ATG), Malone, Payton, Dwight, Pau, Nash, Odom, Bynum, etc. Two separate superteams, the best front court in the league and a top 5/10 player MDE... lol.
Wade - Shaq, LeBron, Bosh... top 5/10 player of all time/MDE and a colluded superteam with the #1 and #4 PER players in his conference...
KG - Allen, Pierce, Rondo, etc. Original superteam that forced Bran to collude.
LeBron - Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Love, Allen, Davis, etc. Two separate superteams and now with another top 3-5 player in the league. Still only 3 rings.

Yes but is hard to counter. He is the most reliable player ever.

But they weren't just playoff teams. They were contenders. Duncan won with 20 year old Parker as 2nd option in 2003.

Not hard but trolling doesn't need countering imo.

Larry Bird never missed the playoffs and won at least 52 games every season except the one he missed due to injuries. GOAT

37 out of 50 games is equivalent to winning over 60 games in an 82 game season.
