Re: A ring for Duncan this year puts him ahead of Bird and Magic.
When you talk about all time greats, once you get into that elite group at the top it's difficult to say who is better than the other. Only MJ and Wilt clearly separate themselves from the rest of the pack, but for the rest of them, it's pretty much impossible for people to reach any type of agreement on who's better. Times are different, league is different, and even people's memories change over the years.
If people want to argue about this they should just argue about whether Duncan should be considered amongst the elite, and not simply comparing him to Bird or Magic or Kareem. You're not going to achieve much comparing player to player when they play in different eras.
