Prime KG or Prime Drob?

KG was the 3rd best PF of his era nikkas need to ask themselves how much better is a prime KG than Aldridge

Gotta ride with the Admiral and I don't think it's close. Plus he's not a fake tough guy so that helps.
Seriously, David Robinson was one of the most athletic and skilled centers in the history of the league.

The year before Robinson's rookie year the Spurs were 21-61, his first year in the league they were 56-26
I can't believe dudes are picking KG over a center that averaged 30/11/5/3/2 and shot 51% in a season
Some of the replies in this thread, man.... Making me feel old. I've seen both players play in their prime from their rookie year on. If both players were coming out as rookies in the upcoming draft, it would be all about David Robinson. This would be the D-Rob draft. You would have legit contenders tanking left and right for those draft rights.... What I'm saying is that it's obvious to anyone who has legit seen both players play that the admiral would have the larger impact on the game. I respect KG though and I respect other people's opinions, but this is like comparing D-wade to MJ. D-Wade is great in his time, but MJ is great all-time.

DRob got Injured for One Season and landed them Tim Duncan
KG voters are probably the same people who think mainstream hip-hop now is good.

Overall, KG.
Admiral had crazy athleticism, but his heart was like the cowardly lion.
Do you remember any great David Robinson playoff moments?
Other than him getting his ass busted by Hakeem Olajuwon or Chuck hitting that step back J in his face?
You can't say he played on a bad team, his squads where always in the mix--they made it to the big dance---he was just never able to do shyt to put them over the top.Tim Duncan had to come show him how it's done.He allowed D Rob(should stand for "Robin") to be the sidekick nikka he really was/ always wanted to be.He didn't have the mentality to be consistently dominant.Especially when the games really mattered.Before Duncan got there, the highlight of his career was scoring 70 points against a bunk ass Clippers team to win the scoring title over Shaq.It was such a blatant attempt at stat padding, the sorry ass Clippers just relented and played lax as fukk.That's why that game is so
.It was a novelty act
One of the most overrated "super stars" of the 90's IMO.
The NBA loved pushing him out there because he was on that good guy/patriotic/ wholesome image shyt.
Technically great stats, but he never had that dog in him.He oozed softness.Grabbing the Bull by the horns just wasn't in his DNA

Yes.
He was a better defender overall, mostly because of his superior pick-n-roll defense. He was a better passer and rebounder. Not to mention he has a clear advantage in longevity.
It's a good comparison, because DRob is a very good player. But he's behind Garnett for me, both peak wise and for his career.
Edit: KG is clearly a better shooter too. Considering how important spacing is, this is huge.
Overall, KG.

Another poster picking KG and using the playoffs as his rationale?
Better defender? Robinson played on more number 1 rated defensive squads than KG and this is WITHOUT Duncan, this is with old ass Terry Cummings in the lineup. Robinson could defend the pick and roll before the hernia, he was just as athletic if not more so than KG, this isn't even up for debate. You allow the Admiral the benefit of the current zone rules and it wouldn't even be fair, imagine him just being allowed to defend "space" and the verticallity rule, we're talking about a dude that averaged 4.5bpg and 2.3spg in the same season
Longevity doesn't make him better, especially since he's currently a 6 and 6 player, same age and the Admiral was better
Only distinct advantage KG had is in passing that's it, especially since Robinson played with superior rebounders next to him than KG, he still had a higher rebound percentage than KG.

I guess some people remember the post back injury David Robinson years as his prime because that's the only way I can fathom in any world where I would take Garnett over the Admiral.
