I can't co-sign this ish. Duncan has spent more than half of his career with subpar All-time Great stats. He's been coasting. Granted that's how his team was constructed but is that how they were built or did his skills decline early and they hid it?
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar thinks Tim Duncan had a better career than Kobe
- Thread starter JordanWearinThe45
- Start date
Bruh you comparing this shyt to sluts when the back to back shyt was never even a criteria until Duncan won his fifth and Phil made those bullshyt comments.
Just stop bruh it's over nikkas lost the poll. But Kobe missed the playoffs see how easy that is you nikkas arguing back to back titles and they have the same amount.
I never heard anyone bring that shyt up about Bird and his legacy why cause it wasn't heard of until 2014

Why did you dodge my question though? You can't name any other time that repeating titles has been used as a meaningful stat on someone's legacy. It was made up just to
for Kobe.
Tim Duncan is one of the greatest players of all time, and many thought he would’ve retired by now. It’s a good thing he didn’t. Duncan has already chalked up some milestones this year, and he has many more ahead of him.
On Nov. 2, he set a new record for a wins by one player on the same team when he and his San Antonio Spurs beat the New York Knicks:
That came just one day after he, along with Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, set the record for most wins by a trio of players at 541.
But there are plenty of milestones still ahead, both of the personal and team variety.
Duncan has been on the winning side 966 times. If he can get 34 more, not at all unlikely, he’d be the third player to reach 1,000.
He has 14,817 rebounds. With 152 more he’ll pass Karl Malone for sixth all-time. With 183 more he’ll reach 15,000.
He has 994 steals, needing just six more to reach 1,000. That would make him just the 24th player in history notch 1,000 thefts and 1,000 blocks.
He needs just 26 blocks to reach 3,000 for his career and 91 to move past Mark Eaton for fourth all-time. At his present rate of 1.7 per game, he’d need 53 more appearances to do that, a very reachable goal.
If he reaches 15,000 rebounds, 3,000 blocks and 1,000 steals, he’d be the only person other than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to achieve all three of those things and score 25,000 points.
Speaking of points, he’s currently 14th on the all-time list. At his present pace, if he played 75 games this year, he’d reach 26,716 points, just enough to move him past Oscar Robertson for 11th. He needs 234 points to pass John Havlicek and 506 to pass Dominique Wilkins.
In the advanced stat category, Duncan is already sixth all-time in Win Shares. At his present pace, he should add about seven more, which move him past John Stockton, who currently has 4.2 more than Duncan.
And that’s just his regular-season numbers.
“If” the Spurs make the playoffs (yeah, I know, that’s a big if), it would be Duncan’s 18th trip there. Only John Stockton and Karl Malone can beat that number.
A second-round trip would likely move him past Michael Jordan for first all-time in postseason Win Shares, though, LeBron James is on his heels. If he scores 137 playoff points, he’ll move past Shaquille O’Neal for fourth all-time.
Duncan is currently fourth all-time in playoffs wins with 151. A trip to the second round would move him into a tie for second with Robert Horry. If he gets three wins in the Western Conference Finals, he’ll be the all-time leader in playoff wins.
As his career accomplishments continue to pile up, he continues to distance himself from Kobe Bryant for the imaginary title, “Greatest Player of His Generation.” But this season’s milestones could serve to move him into the theoretical top five of all time. Regarding personal and career accomplishments, there aren’t many who’ve attained what Duncan has. This year is just the capstone of a lifetime of achievements.
shyt came around in 2014 after he won his fifth chip now everybody acting like this some new fukking narrative.
Houston and Detroit>>>>>>>Duncan's run according to that dumb shyt

Did you NOT see how he was giving the Clippers that work in the post season last year
He could still put up high ppg and rpg but he doesnt play much and he doesnt look for his shot first anymore. Thatll more than likely change in the post season

DONT U THINK BIRD WOULD BE RANKED HIGHER HAD HE WON BACK-TO-BACK? ITS A RARE ACCOMPLISHMENT ONLY DOWNPLAYED BY THE ANTI KOBE CROWD N DUNCAN GROUPIES.
Why did you dodge my question though? You can't name any other time that repeating titles has been used as a meaningful stat on someone's legacy. It was made up just to

Is that what people have been telling you?
Stop acting like you have some kind of formula in this. I remember you saying Bird was in the top tier of NBA greats. Never did you downplay him by pointing out that he hadn't repeated. I suspect it's because you didn't know he hadn't because, again, no one keeps track of that sort of shyt unless they have an agenda to push. You also said LeBron wasn't in the top tier even though he has repeated. I guess you just pick and choose when that matters? Don't say it's because of ring count because you're not going to change your opinion if LeBron wins again. And don't say it's about finals record because you damn sure aren't using that in the Duncan-Kobe argument

BIRD IS IN THE TOP TIER GREATS .. BUT MAGIC > BIRD .. HAD BIRD REPEATED, HIS LEGACY WOULD BE EVEN GREATER. NOT THAT DIFFICULT TO COMPREHEND YOUNG'N.
LEBRON'S LOSING FINALS RECORD AND ALLSTAR CAST HE NEEDED TO WIN GOES AGAINST HIM IN THE LEGACY DEBATE.
DUNO WHY ITS SO HARD TO GET?? PRETTY OBVIOUS STUFF TO ME
