Post 21 on a plat thread dedicated to the career of the GOAT NBA #21 / PF.
Three titles in 3 different decades. Went toe to toe with the current generation's greatest talent (LeBron) three times in the Finals and dropped him twice.
50 wins every year (minus the 99-lockout). Championship contender every year. 5 rings in a market that can't attract FAs to save its life.
Turned Pop into a hall of fame coach
Turned Parker and Ginobili into Hall of Fame euros.
Gave Admiral/Kevin Willis/Michael Finley/Big Dog Robinson/Jerome Kersey their long lost rings (Karl Malone and Grant Hill
)
Got robbed by statisticians from a quadruple-double in Game 6 of the 2003 Finals (two blocks weren't credited to him).
Closed down the Great Western Forum in 99 and ended the Shaq/Kobe title run damn near by himself.
5 rings/2 league MVPs/3 finals MVPs = best individual accolades for his era.
