Duncan or Hakeem, who you taking?

[torcher]

Olajuwon won a title without a legitimate second star. I don't think Duncan has ever done that. shyt Jordan never did that.

HAKEEM 10 TIMES OUTA 10 AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE


THE BETTER QUESTION IS HAKEEM VS KAREEM

 

[the kid]

Cant even fathom how someone picks Dream over Timmy. Reminds me of the Tim vs KG discussions, with some of the same arguments coming from Dream supporters that came from KG supporters. I rock with Dream, so do not take any of this as slander. Probably top 15 player all time. But Tim is the GOAT PF, Top 5 player of all time.

People are getting enamored with the peak years of Dream and completely ignoring the years he could not lead his team out of the first or second round in the at the time mediocre western conference. Its like people forget basketball prior to 95. Dream was eliminated IN THE FIRST ROUND FOUR CONSECUTIVE YEARS DURING THE PRIME OF HIS CAREER!!! And he followed up those first round exits by missing the playoffs the year after that. Like really brehs? I get everybody was too busy watching the Bulls win rings during those years to pay attention to anything else, but these are facts. You can look it up if you want. If that happened during the modern era, he would get slaughtered by everybody on this board for having good stats but no wins (see Chris Paul).

You gonna act like Spurs fans haven't been calling Parker the best PG in the game since '07?

Since 07? Lol...no Spurs fan said that except @Public Enemies

The rest of us started saying it around 12 or 13

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

stop bringing up rings in this discussion

Why? I thought legends and greats got compared by rings

I bet if Hakeem and Shaq had more rings than Timmy I bet you'd be bringing them up

Tim still got more individual accolades besides rings anyway than Hakeem

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Well if your argument consists of #s that you read off a Wikipedia page then you know its

You saying crazy shyt like Duncan is better then Shaq, its lets me know that you just weren't old enough to appreciate the brand of basketball we enjoyed in the 90s..

There were no "minute restrictions", there were no "nights off for rest" , there wasn't even as much ball movement..

Everything was mano y mano. And we (80s babies) remember those moments.. Now a days too many of you rely on a statistic to tell you who was better, and don't appreciate the individual skill each person has.

fukk you old nikka

Timmy both>>>>>>

Them facts don't lie

Olajuwon, for the simple fact that he did EVERYTHING better than Duncan, and was a more versatile defender. I'm not rewarding Duncan for being drafted to a better run franchise.

Dream is the better player of the two.

I take Duncan easily.....its already been said but while Hakeem's highest was obviously better than Duncan's, Timmy's durability is unmatched. People talking about him retiring for the past 5+ years and he still comes back and makes all NBA teams. Hes been doing it consistently since 1999. Ur telling me cause Hakeem had a few years of being the best player in the league that overrides that type of consistency? Hell naw not to me.

 

[Techniec]

Hakeem did everything Duncan could do but better

That ends the conversation

Duncan is a top five big man, olajuwon arguably the goat

comparing the dream to the spurs SYSTEM

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

Got to roll with The Dream!

 

[Liquid]

You have to say peak dream >>>> peak duncan

I'll concede that longevity duncan >>> longevity dream (there were factors determining that but it's fine)

But you can't sit here and really list anything duncan definitely did better than dream in their respective primes.

Scoring - Dream
Defense - Dream
Rebounding - Push/Wash
Offensive Game - Dream
Defensive Versatility - Dream (he could guard 3-5, and even stay with guards on the perimeter)
Leadership - I guess you can say Duncan here, since dream was a wildman before he found religion

Duncan is a better rebounder than Dream, but yeah...Dream is the better player overall IMO.

It's close, but I am taking Dream

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Stop

and answer breh

You're getting Sampson mixed up with Lewis Lloyd and Mitchell Wiggins. Sampson didn't have any drug problems.

Also, no one's gonna talk about Hakeem's early exits and gloss over Duncan losing in the first round to an 8th seed in 2011.

Its mind

Cant even fathom how someone picks Dream over Timmy. Reminds me of the Tim vs KG discussions, with some of the same arguments coming from Dream supporters that came from KG supporters. I rock with Dream, so do not take any of this as slander. Probably top 15 player all time. But Tim is the GOAT PF, Top 5 player of all time.

So you think Tim would've done better with that squad? Under that system?
