Do we call Duncan the GOAT power forward...
- Thread starter Shadow King
- Start date
I like KG and I know he was a double-double waiting to happen but Elton Brand was too.... I know Elton Brand wasn't on playoff teams a lot of his career but don't act like KG's first 11 years in the league wasn't some first round and out shyt.... It wasn't til 05 with Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell and Troy Hudson (playin stupid as fukk) did Minnesota ever get to the Conference Finals....... Elton Brand wasn't no bytch

While I see Duncan as PF, I have no problem with the argument that Duncan is a center for a couple of reasons:
-Duncan played center in college, and if he was drafted to any other team other than San Antonio(he was predicted to go to Boston) he would of been a center
-Olajuwan was the same as Duncan, drafted as center, played power forward with Sampson(albeit it can be argued Sampson was PF), then took over the center position like Duncan if that Basketball Reference stat is to be believed. I will take Olajuwan over Duncan if he can be considered a PF on the same premises...
-Duncan guarded the oppossing centers majority of the time after Robinson retired( guarding Shaq in 03)
-Young Duncan was PF in that his FACE game and back to the basket game reflected the average PF game at the time, late 1990's.
To me Duncan is the Rich Man's Brad Daughtery(no slight to Duncan, just who his game and movement resembles the most), and Daughtery was clearly a center...

Did Kobe ever admit to snitching on Shaq??You condone snitching??????
I liked elton's game...
That nikka still in the league....i forgot what team he was on...
Dude fell off when he went to Philly I think....... That nikka was a double-double machine for YEARS...... Dude was damn near 20 and 10 every night....... Elton Brand played for the Hawks a few years ago but I'm not sure if he still in the league...... Elton Brand was one of them dudes low key........ Him and Steve Francis was co-rookie of the year.... Elton Brand had a nice ass career with stats to back it..... Dude just played on bum ass teams including my Bulls LOL..........
