The case for
  • Won it all in 2037, 2041 (New Orleans Pelicans) — the winning-culture test.
  • Rate stats hold up too: RPG in the 97th 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.
  • Below the top fifth of his position in PPG (43th), FP/g (73th) — a narrower player than the totals suggest.
  • The counting stats outrank the per-game ones in Points — longevity is doing a lot of the work.
  • 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.
