KG vs. Team USA in '00 :damn:

[GOAT]

He wasn't the primary defender but he did defend him at times bc Boston used to switch in the post as part of their defensive scheme

KG in 09 & 10 couldn't check Bynum & neither could Perk

Perk wouldn't have made a diff in game 7 either

But I still rank KG as arguably the best pf of all time

Again, you're talking with nothing to back it up. Bynum never dominated the Celtics. Not at his best against an over the hill KG who was legitimately the 5 for the Celtics(and primary defender on him), and damn sure not in the Perk/KG years in Boston. Dude was just okay against us, usually a non-factor.

U fukkin trollin now

KG was backed into a dunk...it wasn't a weak side block attempt

Uh..okay, one play. If you're basing your entire argument on this, you're really not going to fare very well.

I watched the games & clearly remember Bynum abusing KG in 09 & 10

Nope, Bynum had one good game against the C's during those years. His numbers? 19 points and 11 rebounds. Clearly you didn't watch those games.

All y'all young nikkas go by stats. His mere presence changed the whole complexion of that matchup. He was a 7 ft mobile big w/ hands, who was able to grab Rebs, block shots & had post moves. He was a better back to the basket player than any of the C's

And if he wasn't hobbled in 10, Lakers would have won that series in 5

Life isn't fair, Duncan is/was the best PF ever, he won titles at the 4, he won MVPs playing the 4 as the man.

Being more talented is fine, but having a legitimate low post game is why Duncan could be counted on in close playoff games more often than KG. Being more talented doesn't equate to being better, not when the other guy has a skill that is more effective.

KG had a legitimate low post game tho and his post moves were honestly better than Duncan's. Like seriously, watch a young KG go to work in the post, the nikka's quickness, hesitations and footwork were . He just wasn't as strong as Tim Duncan who could muscle for better position in the post (and he had better coaching to help him establish better position in the post and consistently get better looks) because he is a 5 through and through. That's why KG is the GOAT PF and Tim Duncan is arguably a top 3 Center.

I really don't understand, you don't think Tim Duncan was physically stronger than KG?

 

[ajnapoleon]

Duncan had better career circumstances in terms of coaching, front office, and talent around him

Also, Duncan was a 5 since the '06-'07 season and played it a lot in certain rotations before then...

KG came into the league as a 3, became a 4 , he didn't play the 5 until those last years in Boston and first year in Brooklyn.

I still dont see why people dont take these type of things into account

these things make a huge diffence

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Really don't understand, KG is not physically stronger than Tim Duncan.

Nah your entire post was retarded

"his post moves were honestly better than Duncan's."

KG stans something else. KG had what 7 straight first round exits by the time Timmy had 3 titles

KG not even better than Dirk

You KG muhfukkas gonna stop the Tim Duncan slander. Keep the GOAT name out your mouth

You clearly never watched KG play to think that's a retarded statement. KG's post moves were based on quickness, agility and explosiveness. In the playoffs he could be BULLIED in the post, unlike Tim Duncan who was stronger and able to maintain strong post position. Tim Duncan's movements were stronger while KG's movements were quicker and more agile, because KG is a 4 and Tim Duncan is a 5.

Also the Spurs were consistently much better coached to help give Tim Duncan better looks in the post than the Wolves.

It's a very retarded statement. Saying KG had better post moves is dumb as rocks. KG was good but he ain't fukking with Fundamental

Actually watch some KG tape before speaking in this topic again goofy. Once again, the difference between KG and Tim Duncan's post games is that KG was quicker while Tim Duncan was stronger. Because KG was a 4 and Tim Duncan was a 5.

When you compare the two, all the things you will say Duncan is better at, are Center skills. Because Tim Duncan was stronger while KG was quicker. Because KG is a better 4 while Duncan is a better 5.

 

[malbaker86]

I think more people should have KG as the G.O.A.T. PF

 

[malbaker86]

I've always had KG over Duncan.

the few years KG had any type help, he won the MVP in 2004, then won the Title in 2008, was 1 quarter away from winning in 2010, ECF in 2011.
Duncan was surrounded by HOF talent all his life with the GOAT coach, look at the Spurs now without him, havent missed a beat.

How many titles SA had before Duncan?

Except Tim not a center

All the mental gymnastics in the world won't change that TD got more All NBA teams, won more MVP's, titles, at the 4 spot than KG

And Tim did it with an injured knee post 2000

Matter of fact here's Timmy busting KG ass at the 4 spot
