The case for
- Career volume among the very best ever — #6 all-time in points.
- 1x All-NBN 1st Team: recognised as the best at SG in his era, repeatedly.
- Rate stats hold up too: APG in the 95th percentile at SG — this isn't only accumulation.
- 18 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.
- No championship. If titles matter to you, he has none to point at.
- Below the top fifth of his position in RPG (70th) — a narrower player than the totals suggest.
- The counting stats outrank the per-game ones in Rebounds — longevity is doing a lot of the work.
- Rarely the consensus best at his position — 1x All-NBN 1st Team.
Both cases are generated from the career record, not an
opinion — they're there to argue with.
