TDfan2007 with a solid post. Only take issue with the postseason argument.
If you think Amar'e was good in the postseason, imagine if Dave had a Nash.
Dave had for a supporting cast, in what most consider a Golden Age of basketball, in terms of All-Time players.
Unlike most of his contemporaries, he was forced to carry the end-game and postseason burden on his own. , who else demanded a double on those teams? Teams could consistently leave one to two players alone without paying for it.
Dave's flaws are what most remember. But if that man had a Nash, a Ginobili?
History would reflect so much more kindly on his legacy - and my wallet (I've got every-single-one of his rookie cards).
