"Soft" here meaning not absolutely dominant like MJ's bulls were, not as in "soft". And nobody got to knock him off afterwards, because he pulled off the best ever example of leaving on a high note.Ħ-0 over 15 years is crazy impressive in its own right, arguably much more impressive from a statistical perspective, but the narrative is different. Since the world of NBA fandom seems content to ignore/give a mulligan for his shortened '95 season when the Magic beat the Bulls, the narrative is that he made it to the top, and nobody could knock him off his throne once he was there. MJ is seen as going 6-0 meaning he went 6 for 6. Yeah, Tim Duncan going 6-0 in this scenario would get brought up and contrasted with MJ's 6-0, and force people to clarify why the two 6-0's are different. I have him firmly at 6th and i would say i'm in the minority for doing so, but even in his prime he wasnt LeBron or Magic and winning in 2013 past his prime wouldn't change that. Like, you can't make an argument that would make me believe that Tim was better than Magic Johnson, LeBron James or Wilt Chamberlain. The guys that people generally have ahead of him are considered to be better players with better peaks and the amount of titles they won aren't that significant. Why should i believe that they would've done it in 2014 had they won in 2013? They were unable to do so in the past with better teams and with a better version of Tim Duncan.Ī reasonable question would be what would change in Duncan's legacy going 5-0 with 4 Finals MVPs and i would say not much. You are assuming that despite winning the 2013 title, nothing would've changed in the Heat OR the Spurs in this scenario which is a BIG assumption.
