What if Shaq had to suddenly retire in 1999...would Tim Duncan be the GOAT?

I was watching the Len Bias 30 for 30 special the other day, and I was struck by how many people of that day thought that Bias was the natural competitor to Michael Jordan.  It made me think about a thread I saw on a message board one time, where someone brought up Bias' death and Ralph Sampson's injuries as a reason why Jordan was considered by so many to be the greatest.  When you add Magic, Bird, and even Sam Bowie into the equation...perhaps there is some merit to the argument that Jordan wasn't necessarily the greatest, he just lacked his natural competitors.]]>http://rotosynthesis.rotowire.com/NBA%2DWas%2DJordan%2DThe%2DGreatest%2DBecause%2DInjuriesTragedy%2DRemoved%2DHis%2DFoils%2D-BBD1518.htmhttp://rotosynthesis.rotowire.com/NBA%2DWas%2DJordan%2DThe%2DGreatest%2DBecause%2DInjuriesTragedy%2DRemoved%2DHis%2DFoils%2D-BBD1518.htmSun,
