You do realize that Novak has greater career than Sampras and Agassi careers - combined?

That is demonstrably untrue.

Pete and Andre together have 22 slams, Novak obviously the same amount, but there are other important stats.

Pete and Andre won 124 career titles, Djokovic is nowhere near that. Pete and Andre were #1 for 387 weeks, Novak's getting close to that, but Pete/Andre still in the lead. Pete and Andre have an OGM, 7 YEC's and 7 USO's compared to Novak's 3.

1. Federer also has more career titles, yet Novak is GOAT.
2. Novak is guaranteed to reach 385 weeks, so the difference is negligible. If you believe he'll never get to more than 387 weeks, then ok.
3. OGM is trivia achievement, but if you insist to elevate it to Big Title status, no problem.
4. Novak won more Big titles than Sampragassi, even after you add OGM to their count.
5. I thought they have 6 YEC titles combined?
6. YE no1, 7=7.
7. 7 USO titles? So... Their 22 is more than Novak's 22?

It is nevertheless untrue, since at the moment Agassi and Pete are still leading Novak in weeks at No.1 and OGM regardless of how slightly. Novak only leads in masters that’s it, all other things they are equal. At best it is a wash.

If Novak gets 388 weeks or 23 GS titles, you'll agree with me then?

Yes. It is actually interesting how close they are at the moment. They do not only have same number of slams but also same number of runner up trophies (11). Same number of YE#1, almost same number of weeks at No.1, same number of YECs. Come to think about it it is a tremendous achievement of Novak to match the accomplishments of the two best 90s players and ATGs combined.
