I'll give the duncan the edge in longevity, but peak for peak it's dream and it's really not even close. Dream was the better scorer, re bounder, defender, etc.. Duncan was a gifted passer.

Duncan was his team #1 scoring option for upwards of 13-14 years. Plus up until 37, the man played atleast 35 minutes a game a night.

Duncan has had his career extended through pop chopping his minutes in half and allowing parker, manu, and now leonard to be the #1 option on offense while duncan has regressed to the 3rd or 4th option on occassions. Simple luxuries dream wasn't allotted to have in his career. Duncan hasn't played over 32 minutes a game now in 6 years. That saves a lot of tread on his tire.

To me duncan is top 12 all time.

Dream is top 8

So that's just wrong. He was in danger of not repeating and they fleeced the blazers for his running buddy drexler and its proven that Robert sorry and Kenny smith and Mario Elie and Otis Thorpe were legit role players and complemented well.

shyt outside of replacing kahwei all those guys would start on today's spurs.
Your discussing the mid 90s rockets not the 80s, and a past his prime Drexler is nothing to brag about. They were ok for a 1-2 year run that's it. Duncan's entire prime / starting years were filled with great players

He was a six seed because his championship squad was fukkin .500 before the drexler trade...then they beat those quality teams...what does that tell you

It tells me they struggled and in the playoffs they ramped it up.

Do you know how impressive it is to beat 4 52+ win teams (ALL WITHOUT HCA in any round)

Dream Averaged 33, 10, 4.5 assist, 1.2 steals and 2.8 blocks a game in the playoffs playing 22 games. Duncan doesn't have anything nearly that impressive when you consider the amount of playoff games played.

The gap between Robinson and Hakeem is definitely closer than the gap between Hakeem and Duncan

Hakeem is the posers go to player to romanticize. He lost in the first rd of the west like five years in a row until the Elie's maxwells horrys thorpes and smiths joined or came of age.

And the MVP argument means nothing.If that's the case then you're saying Curry and Harden are close to Lebron as players
