Tracy McGrady Questions Tim Duncan's GOAT Status, Suggests Kevin Garnett Might Be Better
World Sports · 00:19:37 - Sunday, 8 November 2026

Former NBA star Tracy McGrady has questioned Tim Duncan's status as the greatest of all time (GOAT), arguing on his podcast that Kevin Garnett's versatility rivals the San Antonio Spurs legend's five-championship résumé.

McGrady, a seven-time All-Star, made the comments during a recent episode of his podcast, suggesting that Garnett's all-around skill set could place him above Duncan in the historical hierarchy.

Duncan, who spent his entire 19-year career with the Spurs, won five NBA titles and is widely regarded as one of the greatest power forwards in history. Garnett, a 15-time All-Star and 2008 NBA champion with the Boston Celtics, is celebrated for his defensive intensity and offensive versatility.

The debate adds another layer to ongoing discussions about the greatest players in NBA history, with McGrady's perspective drawing attention given his own Hall of Fame career.
