Lebron prime vs tim Duncan prime

[Gangstar8]

Neither of them could actually defend their championship . Fake champions

 

[Piff Huxtable]

Bron won back 2 back
Tim Duncan heart of champion was John Q status

but then Bron shytted the bed in 2011
but prime Duncan was shut down by -Karl Malone

I take LeBron

A GOAT-tier front office and coach? Who had better teammates and a better run organization?

You really think the Spurs had a worse front office than the fukking Cavs?

The Spurs were not a GOAT tier front office or organization when Tim Duncan was drafted


None of that shyt was said until after Tim got there

Who said they were? But they have been and they did everything they could to put help around Tim. Hell, they were much better than their tanking road

Cleveland was a legit dumpster fire.

Tim had a 4-5 year stretch where he got 2 titles, 2 MVP's, 2 Finals MVP's, and an All-Star game MVP

Bron had a stretch where he won 2 MVP's 2 Finals MVP's 2 title and and Olympic ring.

Like both players but bron is not better then tim Duncan. Tim didn't have a super team and still beat bron for 2 of them rings bron should had when he was in Cleveland and Miami...so lets stop this bron is better then Jordan when he is not better then Duncan

So 22 year old Lebron with Larry Hughes as his best teammate should have beaten prime Duncan, Parker, Manu and Pop? Ridiculous

Anyway Duncan is top 10, Bron top 5. GOAT SF beats GOAT PF.

Not defending your title at least once in your career is a big knock to me.

Stats nerds bringing up stats to compare somebody with a Spurs player

I can tell you nikkas don't even watch basketball.

Timmy hands down.

I'm not cosigning Timmy over bron, but these nerds don't watch basketball

They look at stats and spreadsheets and algorithms to rank players

 

[Sccit]

DUNCAN

 

[TrebleMan]

Hard to say, but Duncan had to defend Shaq plenty of times during the LAL-Spurs battles. I don't think Lebron ever had to check someone on that kind of level.

Iff we talking about numbers...eh...you can't go wrong...they both do VASTLY different things but you can make the argument that they are the absolute best at what they do...

If we are talking about all the other basketball stuff it's Duncan and it's not even close...

Bron has 3 rings...Timmy won 5 rings across 3 decades...

Timmy won a title when the spurs played at the slowest pace in the league and he had to do everything...he won a title when they played at one of the fastest paces in the league and had one of the highest points per 1000 possession ever during that 2014 playoff run...Lebron had to attend Paat Rileys "how to win championships for dummies" seminars to win a ring...

Timmy won with guys picked at the end of the first round (Parker)...goes picked at the end of the draft (Parker)...guys who were in the d league and out of the league period (Green)... Lebron HAS to have at least two other lottery picks on his team to get to a championship level (wade and bosh...kyrie and love)

And most importantly...you can build any type of team around Timmy and win...Need him to come in and help your aging big man as a young player...he did that...need him to carry the team and win while a 19 year old point guard learns how to shoot a basketball...he did that...when he gets older and you want to preserve his career can you give the offensive reigns to the point guard who still can't shoot and a euro who was picked 57th overall and still win a title...he did that...you need to play at a break neck pace and need Timmy to focus on rebounding and defense...while you groom your next franchise player who can't do anything but rrun fast jump high and play defense...no problem he can do that and it will be one of the greatest offenses ever...then just for shyts and giggles after your next franchise player becomes your franchise player damn near 40 year old TImmy can anchor one of the greatest defenses ever...

Lebron...dude is the opposite of this...you don't put lebron on a team and make it work...you have to build the team around Lebron...and you have to build the team the exact same way...you need a minimum of two guys making max or near max money and you need enough shooters on your team to put 4 of them on the floor with him at once...

You draft Timmy you can put virtually any type of team around him and not only win a lot but win multiple championships...you draft lebron...you better have two other guys who are making at least 50% of your cap otherwise the first chance he get he is "taking his talents" somewhere else...

All of this

WOAT logic.

So you going act like David Robinson and Sean Elliot didn't exist huh, I'd take tims supporting cast over brons any day

Breh these dudes are idiots. Tim Duncan went to a team with one of the greatest centers of all time. David robinson was so impactful that he had the spurs perennial playoff contenders for years.

The 2 years before duncan was drafted the spurs won 59 games and had the 4th best record in the league before losing in the second round.

The next year robinson hurt his back and the spurs did not want to risk him getting hurt so basically they shut him down for the season. That year the spurs went 20 and 62 and get the top overall pick in the offseason (which turns out to be duncan).

In comparison 2 years before lebron was drafted the cavs won 29 games. Even more in depth stats......the cavs hadn't made the playoffs since the 1997-1998 season before they got lebron (who took them to the playoffs in his third year).

Actually when Robinson was on the team he was the defacto big man defender and timmy was the backup defacto big man defender. Once robinson left new centers were moved to the starting lineup to defend centers.

Bron had a stretch where he won 2 MVP's 2 Finals MVP's 2 title and and Olympic ring.

Bron was playing with Wade and Bosh. Duncan was playing with old nikkas and foreigners
