I realize Pettit has nothing to do with this series, but just out of curiosity, do you really think Duncan is nowhere near the level of Bob Pettit? In what sense? These days, discussions of the greatest PF ever tend to start with Duncan, Malone, Barkley, and Pettit, and occasionally someone will throw in Garnett and Hayes.
