If the MJ/LeBron argument is that MJ was playing against accountants and lawyers, then Karl Malone gets the same treatment. Some of us intellectuals don’t use that argument Yea well Malone was obv better then KG and Dirk but I’m still taking Tim Duncan as the top dog at PF.

I agree that Duncan is the top PF of all time. The tougher question is, where does he rank in big men history? Although I am a homer and anything is possssiiibbbbllleeeee. I have to put KG over Dirk in my PF rankings. 1. Duncan 2. KG 3. Dirk my Reasoning, KG was so much more dominant on the defensive and like you said, resulting in a DPOY. He was comparable to Duncan in All-defense teams and he was also a 4 time rebounding champ. Dirk was usually around a top 10 ppg guy while KG was around top 20. Honestly I don’t even think it’s close. As for 4th and 5th to round out my top 5, I would have to go by stats and check the likes of Elvin Hayes as well as Barkley. I just can't think of one thing that KG really did that will impact how kids play basketball in 20 years. Yea he was talented and was a good defender, but, like I said, Dirk literally changed basketball. He changed how the NBA viewed Europeans. He grew the sport internationally. Above all, he was the most loyal mf in the history of sports. Dirk didn’t change shit lol

1. Duncan 2. Malone 3. Garnett 4. Nowitzki 5. TBD
Duncan did it both ways. Firmly up top. Malone himself was a 4x all-d player but finished 2nd on all time scoring list. Dirk can score with the best of them but his defense does not compare to the other 3. When it comes to influence, while admirable and dope; you can’t equate stats and performance to social influence. If anything the NBA had to change the rules about High School players entering the league because these kids were not ready. not because of guys like KG who could dominate right away, in which I think is more impressive.
