Tim Duncan is the only "HOF" who played with other all stars his whole career.

And unlike the nikka who just shot 17 3's tonight he was willing to defer, reduce his minutes & take a paycut to ensure

I thought you were just fukking around so I checked... nah, Kobe is shooting more 3's this year than any year prior in his career. :smh:

Duncan was drafted to an NBA team that already had two Allstars (Robinson, Sean Elliot), and was a 500 team just a year before David Robinson was hurt throughout the 96-97 season.

Tim Duncan made everyone on the Spurs better. Name another top 10 draft pick on his championship teams..
Garnett turned a really bad T Wolv'es team into a play-offs team, while Duncan took a play-offf team and turned them into championship contenders. Garnett woulda had just as many championships as Duncan, if Garnett woulda been drafted by a better team.

Like LeBron said, the media has also had a hand in building his celebrity (as has playing in a big market like L.A.). :sas2:

Any true fan of the sport knows Duncan is the superior player. Shaq doesn't call him the Big Fundamental for no reason either. That's why he can compete with players half his age while being almost 40 years old.

Garnett was drafted by one of the shyttiest franchises in NBA history the previous year. Duncan was drafted by a play-off team just a year before David Robinson was hurt and the Spurs had a down year in 96-97 season. These are facts.

Hate on a player because his teammates evolve playing with him. Their differing personalities has lead to the quality teammates they've attracted, but the spurs system that so many of these late draft picks and cast aways thrive in is largely because of Duncan
