well that pretty much ends this debate.

PER is a more robust measure of a players value than points or other single measures as it weighs many factors.
Rank Player PER
1. Michael Jordan* 27.91
2. LeBron James 26.86
3. Shaquille O'Neal 26.43
4. David Robinson* 26.18
5. Wilt Chamberlain* 26.13
6. Dwyane Wade 25.63
7. Bob Pet * 25.37
8. Tim Duncan 24.88
9. Neil Johnston* 24.73
10. Charles Barkley* 24.63
11. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar* 24.58
12. Magic Johnson* 24.11
13. Karl Malone* 23.90
14. Dirk Nowitzki 23.74
15. Hakeem Olajuwon* 23.59
16. Kobe Bryant 23.57
Duncan 8th all time and Mr. Bryant lagging considerably at 16th and Bryant is also behind Wade at his position (to be fair Duncan is trailing LeBron but time will tell whether LBJ or Wade can sustain their PER over longer careers). He also trails the immortal Neil Johnston and the under-ranked Bob Pe in PER!
By the way, - alll you David Robinson haters - look who is number 4 all time (just behind his rival Shaq but Shaq will probably drop as he extends his career a year or two more behind Robinson - but Shaq was DEFINETELY the Man on the Lakers Tri-peat!

, didn't you just read? The debates over. Duncan > Kobe
Now kick rocks got.
K.C. Jones 8
Kobe Bryant 5
Kobe as the true man on his team = at best 2
yeah who wouldn't take Pet and Neil Johnston over Barkely, Kareem, Magic, Malone, Dirk, Hakeem, and Kobe.
lol definite proof
I would like to believe the good doctor, but when you have Karl Malone and Charles Barkley being better than Kobe, then this article or stat is a piece of .
Duncan 3 (1999 simply doesn't count)
Kobe 1 (he gets a .5 credit for being co-leader with Gasol and gets 0 for riding Shaq's success)
Fixed son
lol underwater city
Duncan/Spurs 4
Kobe/coat tail 3
Kobe/Lakers 2
1 ring ... at least N.O. has won something withing the last decade unlike anything in Dallas.
Lol mavs
Lol cowgirls
Lol Dirk
Nice sig son, take out that chris paul sig and add another girl's ass
The playoffs were not shortened and since the regular season doesn't matter, 1999 counts as a ring whether you want it to or not you frontin' .
Definitive proof that Bob Pet is the greatest power forward of all time?
Pe was no stiff - he had to retire at age 32 due to knee injuries but averaged more than 26 points a game and over 16 boards a game (3rd highest in history)

yeah no doubt he'd average those numbers today![]()
You can only play with and against your era but ask Kevin Love about putting up those kind of numbers at a similar size so it is possible?
