:hhh: Duncan is arguably the best PF ever. The only guy better was Dream and the Dream use to embarrass Robinson.

Duncan is no PF. He's a center. And he's not even top 6 all-time as a center. The following players are better:

1. Hakeem
2. Shaq
3. Wilt
4. Kareem
5. Robinson
6. Russell
7. Duncan

I don't care where he was listed. I'm saying he was the center all the way back in 2001 and 2003. Cause when the Lakers played the Spurs, it was Duncan guarding Shaq and Shaq guarding Duncan.
That don't make him a center. Sometimes players defend based off matchups.

In '01, Duncan played 61% of his minutes at PF. In '03 he played 57% of his minutes at PF. He played most of his minutes at that 4 position until '07.

This actually isn't a bad thread when talking about who the better "pure" basketball player is but we all know @Swagnificent is only doing this because he sees Duncan as a threat to Kobe's legacy :manny:

This may surprise you but I honestly don't give a shyt about Kobe. I just like how he played. And now that he's retired he's only value is in the youtube videos of the great plays he made in the past.

I'm just saying the truth when it comes to how overrated Duncan is. I actually respect Shaq and LeBron as worthy adversaries to Kobe's stake as the best basketball player since Jordan. But Tim Duncan really doesn't belong in that class. He's a fiction created by the media. His accomplishments are the result of Greg Popovich's greatness not his.

This narrative needs to stop. Kobe hasn't sniffed a 2nd round w/o Phil, but that's completely different in your head though right??

Robinson got washed by his contemporaries. Like dismantled.

That sorta thing didn't happen to timmeh

did you miss the 01 WCF when the spurs were routed in record margin damn near
or the 04 wcsf when duncan was shut down by a 40 year old malone
or the 08 wcf finals when gasol outplayed him
or the 10 wcsf when they were swept by phoenix?

Duncan - 23 pts, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks average

Robinson - 14 points, 10, 2 blocks average

or the 04 wcsf when duncan was shut down by a 40 year old malone

TD averaged 20 & 12, not bad for having Malone and Shaq guarding you is it?

or the 08 wcf finals when gasol outplayed him

In what world is 13 & 9 and 3 assists OUTPLAYING 22 & 17 & 4 assists :dahell:

or the 10 wcsf when they were swept by phoenix?

He beat out Amare in every category, so he wasn't dismantled


In conclusion, you lose

david robinson was in his 30s in 01 :mjlol: duncan was in his prime

in 04 duncan had 2 good games, games 1 and 2 and was shutdown the rest of the series. You looked at stats and did not watch the games.

in conclusion the person i responded to was wrong.

Duncan also beat all those teams and won championships as the lead guy. D Rob never did that.

Duncan also badly outplayed these ppl you're trying to say shut him down.

He averaged 22 pts 17 rebs 5 Asts and 2 blocks to Gasols 13 & 10 in 08.
