Tims Legacy...
Anything is possible...the guy is an amazing basketball player. I know this is a giant IF and the odds are stacked against him, but would a successful run in the playoffs put this guy on Jordan level or even higher? Before you go crazy saying "above jordan your crazy!" Just keep in mind jordan was never in the same position as timmy is in right now. For some reason I have a gut feeling on the team this year. CALL IT THAT ODD YEAR FEELING!

above jordan? you're crazy.

maybe near him, or in the same neighborhood, but not yet above him.

tim is already in jordan's neighborhood.

IMO Duncan is a top ten all-time player. Exactly where he ends up will be decided when he's finished. He's in the neighborhood because that top ten is exclusive company.

But I don't expect him to rank higher than Jordan. Two three-peats, six Finals MVP's...that's pretty tough stuff to top. Duncan's resume is incredible, and he belongs in the conversation of all-time greats. But I don't think he's going to top Jordan. I'm not sure anyone ever will, but at the moment the only one I think might have a chance is LeBron. His ceiling seems pretty high. Once he gets a taste of his first Title I think he's going to take off.

Let's just say MJ will choose TD as his first pick in a legends pick up game.

the only point i don't agree on is lebron being as great as jordan, which is a whole argument in an in of itself because jordan played in a much tougher era where there weren't as many ticky-tack fouls for guards.

but this is just IMHO.

I said a LeBron is the only one I think might have a chance to catch Jordan. Not that he already is as great as Jordan. :)
