The case for
  • Rate stats hold up too: APG in the 96th percentile at C, RPG in the 99th percentile at C — this isn't only accumulation.
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.
  • Rarely the consensus best at his position — 0x All-NBN 1st Team.
Both cases are generated from the career record, not an opinion — they're there to argue with.
