Hard to argue with Baylor in his prime.

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything

Could it be because the Suns never won it all? Thus no mention. We are talking about best ever in NBA history

Best third guy doesn't mean the first and second guys were up to it.
Nor does it mean they didn't suffer injury or bad luck in the playoffs.
2005-06 he was top 20 in points, rebounds, steals, blocks and field goal percentage, as well as minutes. That ain't a bad third banana, and I think he sits comfortably in this company in terms of peak.
