In 1988, who did you consider the better player? Nique or MJ?
Nique led his team to a game 7 in the ECF's against one of the greatest franchises in the history of sports and got into one of the most memorable duels of all time.
While MJ was bounced out of the playoffs.
Now Nique was on a better team and went deeper into the playoffs, and by your logic was the better player because of it.
MJ was on a inferior team and didn't advance as far. He hadn't advanced really at all in the previous....oh....4 years.
What do you say? Nique was better because his team advanced further?
Or was MJ better despite being bounced constantly out of the playoffs on a inferior team.
I eagerly await your response.

Okay Eagerboy, this wont take long.
What do you mean, "by my logic?"
You are confused. I dont believe you read this thread carefully.
MJ was better in 1988. And no that is not my position in this debate. Tim Duncan is not better than KG because his team has won two titles, and KG gets bounced in the first round ever year for the last 7 years. Tim Duncan is a better/greater player than KG because he has accomplished more not only team wise, but individually than KG in less time.
Maybe your just a fan on the opposite side of the argument and you read what you want to see instead of what I wrote.
Duncan is better because he's been a All NBA first teamer on both sides of the ball every year since his rookie season when he was also rookie of the year, and he's a 2 time MVP. This years MVP.
Why is it that unsuccessful players fans think they can compare these players to those who are not only great, but they stand above all with their success, individually or otherwise?
You can not make a respectable argument to why KG is better than Tim Duncan. At least, I have yet to hear it. "KG fan" has done nothing in this thread but argue why Tim Duncan is not as good as his fans and the rest of the league they he is.
