Why not Duncan for GOAT?

[knicksman]

I have never seen a player as stiff as him becoming a superstar let alone win 5 rings and The guy is a 7 footer yet plays below the rim.

he also won in a small market. 5 rings is the best for small markets while you have boston, lakers winning 15+ then chicago 6.


And he won 5 in a more stacked league compared to the watered down 90s

[feyki]

He's the greatest since Jordan .

1999 is still part of the 90s and by far the weakest season as far as quality teams. 2003? LOL the early 2000s are even weaker than the 90s. The league wasn't particularly "stacked" as you say in 2005 either for that matter.

bruh he won in 3 different decades and somehow you still are using the when he won against him

I'm not using anything against him...this dumb ass knicksman is trying to say that when Duncan was winning his rings the league was stacked compared to the 90s...that's just not true for most of the Spurs championships. The league wasn't any better in 99 and 2003 than it was in the rest of the 90s...definitely weaker compared to the early 90s.

All of which may mean he's in the running for GOAOAT*, but not GOAT.

You most definitely can make that case for Duncan.

Duncan was Bill Russell of his era a winner that won close to three decades in the NBA the ultimate teammate to have on your team.

Sorry, you don't get browny points for being a "stiff" or being unathletic or unskilled or small. Your impact on the court is what it is.

Oh, and Duncan moved incredibly well for a 7footer and definitely did not play below the rim.

How do you rank three careers of Duncan, Shaq, and Kobe?

duncan, kobe, then shaq purely based on careers.

"Won 5 in a stacked league"

No he didnt.

The reason Duncan isnt the GOAT isnt that he didnt play at the level of someone like Jordan for 6 championships. Jordan is by far the greatest. Obviously the next few GOAT candidates are Wilt, Russell, and perhaps Kareem.

But goat rankings is based on who you respect the most and duncan imo is the player who overcame a bigger hurdle than other players

No, GOAT rankings are based on who was the best on the court. Respect has nothing to do with it.
