If someone asks me who is better, with no qualifiers, imma use my own criteria, which is objective value.

Then stick to those threads. The OP asked whose impact was the highest.

Everyone has their own criteria for determining that. Mine is objective impact. Unless OP meant 'in era', which is specified nowhere, then it's up to each of us to use our own criteria to assess impact.

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I will just add that all the other iterations of these threads seems to have been focused on in-era impact.


Getting back on topic I think I might be in favor of Ewing here, at least from a peak perspective. I might try and track what's going on for those Bulls-Knicks series specifically. He achieves the most impressive results against those stacked Chicago squads but is never given the same credit Barkley or Malone are.
its my last message in this thread, but I just admit, that all the people, casual and analytical minds, more or less have consencus who has the weight of a rubberized duck. And its not JaivLLLL
