The case for
  • Career volume among the very best ever — #8 all-time in rebounds, #8 all-time in fantasy.
  • 2x All-NBN 1st Team: recognised as the best at C in his era, repeatedly.
  • Won it all in 2038 (Vancouver Grizzlies) — the winning-culture test.
  • Rate stats hold up too: PPG in the 97th percentile at C, APG in the 99th percentile at C, RPG in the 95th percentile at C, FP/g in the 99th percentile at C — this isn't only accumulation.
  • 16 seasons at this level is its own argument for durability.
The case against
  • Never an MVP. Every case here rests on accumulation and team honours rather than being the best player in the league.
Both cases are generated from the career record, not an opinion — they're there to argue with.
