Did anyone have a better first 8 seasons in the NBA?

[Nowitness]

Can anyone name a player who had a better first 8 seasons than Tim Duncan?

In his first 8 seasons (98/05), he was 8x All-NBA 1st team, 7x All-Defensive 1st team (and 1x 2nd), 2x MVP (with 2x runners up, 2x third place and 2x 5th place, also finishing 5th as a rookie), 3x champion with 3 FMVPs.

He only played with an All-NBA player in 3 seasons (Robinson in 98/00/01). He won 3 titles without an All-NBA teammate during this time span, something no other player has ever done more than once.

He led his team in scoring all 8 seasons. Was top 3 in DWS all 8 seasons (and led in 3), top 3 in Defensive rating all 8 seasons.

Jordan & Bird.

Jordan & Bird.

Bird has a case.

MJ isn’t in that discussion.

:oldlol: Absolute nonsense. His accolades are virtually equal to Duncan's, except his production blows his away.

[1987_Lakers]

Bill Russell?

7 championships
4 MVPs

8 championships & 5 MVPs if you want to extend it to 9 seasons.

1 less title, 1 less FMVP, 2 less All-NBA teams, 3 less All-Defensive teams, 3 more first round exits (all sweeps)

More MVP's, more DPOY's, and again, his production is legitimately on a different tier than Duncan's. And keep in mind he missed nearly an entire season to boot.

I don't even care if you argue Duncan's were better, but to claim Jordan isn't even in the discussion is "Mullin > Bird" logic.

You act as if Duncan was out to get his. MJs production - whilst all time great - was exacerbated by playing for coaches who had no game plan but allowing him to shoot 40 times a game.

In those 8 seasons Duncan beat a prime Shaq/Kobe (twice), MJ didn’t beat a single elite team from his era, at least until Detroit got old and Kareem retired.

MJ is the GOAT, but he isn’t in this discussion.

So Jordan's the GOAT, but 5 of the 6 seasons widely considered his peak years (1988-92) don't even have him in this discussion. That's some faulty logic bro, agree to disagree on this one I guess.

I love it when Axe points out the poster directly above him. Its important to be as specific as possible in cases like this, as it is always possible to confuse said poster with the one indirectly above him.

Axe, don't be narcissistic towards the poster directly above you. Seriously, its not cool.

On topic, did anyone have a better first three seasons in the NBA than Derrick Rose? :lol

Kareem in his first three seasons won a title (FMVP), 2x MVP, 3x All-Star, 2x First Team, 1x Second Team

But honestly outside of Kareem, I can't think of a player with a better three year start to their career than Rose , winning MVP in your third season is insane

Hey, Axe. I have a serious question.

Does your autism come from being a low-testosterone beta male, or does being a beta come from being autistic?

I know it's kind of a chicken and egg question, but I assume there's an answer to this.
