LOL he actually retired at 30. And he wasn't very good until he was 25. He had a phenomenal 6 year run (probably better characterized as 5, the first year was only very good) and that was it.
At his zenith, was he as good as anyone? I guess that depends how much weight you put on the disparity between his home and road stats.
But I think there are a lot of externalities that have enhanced his reputation.
