Imagine how much Larry and those Celtics would dominate if the 3 pt shot was emphasized more, their front line was so imposing that it opened up the wings from as close as 15 ft from the basket, was insane. I def think guys like Bird and Maravich dominate bigly relative to more emphasis on threes.

I def agree Fundamental deserves to rank higher than LeBron all-time as we speak now. I def believe one can mention Fundamental in the same sentence as MJ and actually have a legitimate argument, MJ has every part of the argument though and Fundamental never repeated.

Agreed Duncan never repeating is the only knock on him and That last championship spurs team was on a mission because of the way they lost the year before to the heat. I’m not sure if the spurs had won Game 6(& Duncan not blowing the late game bunny) that they would’ve been motivated enough to repeat, but I could be mistaken.

The pistons and pacers teams mike had to go through were both easily better than the ones that lebron went through. Mike also had to deal w the knicks who is better than damn near any team Lebron has beat in the east. The top end competition in the conference was a lot tougher when mike played than when lebron played. that is why 9 straight finals is not nearly as impressive as mike 6 for 6.



Mike didn’t have to face much more difficult zone schemes.

Yea I will never forget seeing Tim slap the floor in anger. Duncan was absolutely pissed after missing what should've been an easy layup for him. Spurs had ample opportunity to win in both game 6 and 7, yet they let it slip away.

I strongly believe Tim had that scene of him missing that layup at the forefront of his mind the entire offseason and next season, and he pushed his team harder because of it.

Defensive 3 seconds was also implemented after his Bulls career, too.

Agreed.

Duncan must receive credit for never missing the playoffs in the West. It’s not a feat many have accomplished-haven’t looked it up, but I imagine Magic is the only other player of significance in the modern era.

Harden. And highly Doubtful that he ever will. This is a guy who when he was 23 and first year as lead guy took a team with Lin, parsons, and asik as his help to the playoffs in a loaded west.
