that's 18 guys on the top 50 he dominated. he beat almost all of them in the ECF or finals at various points in his career. he didn't join ANY of them to form a "super team". he's the GOAT. if you're not old enough to remember this list you aren't old enough to have this discussion. if you are old enough and didn't know about this top-50 distinction you aren't informed enough to have this discussion either.
