POP N KOBE HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER .. ON THE CONTRARY, DUNCAN WOULDNT EVEN BE GREATER THAN GARNETT IF HE HADNT HAD POP IN HIS CORNER, LET ALONE ANYWHERE ON THIS LIST.

What are pops accomplishments before Duncan? I'll wait.

Definitely NOT Hakeem.

I noticed you picking him 5th on your all-time draft. Maybe an accident, but that's right about where I have him. :salute:




Lebron easy
Then duncan

WPOY in every thread. :ohlawd:




easily duncan

everyone on the list would eat his food and have dessert

i dont see why everyone overrates a bank shot so much especially with 2 other stars spreading the floor

You know he's good when you are bragging about Duncan's 3rd or 4th best attribute.

And who were the two stars spreading the floor when the won the championship in 1999? Or 2003? People forget how dominant a star Duncan was in his prime - he CARRIED those teams.

2005 was the first team Duncan had two "stars" alongside him, with TP and Ginobli each averaging 16ppg, but TP was only 22 and had never made an all-star game, while Ginobli was being named to one for the first time ever with a 16-4-4 stat line that wouldn't have made it most years.

Duncan had 3 rings before TP made his first all-star game. Think about that.





Duncan

System player was very good for many years, but his peak wasn't as high as others on that list.... Spurs are better without him, just proves its the system

:yeshrug:

If Sccit, Gangstar8, and EducatedBrothaFromTheBank are teaming up to gang up on you....you know you must be good. :smugdraper:

Where's Big L at to complete the wasteland? :heh:


And Duncan's peak from 1999-2005 was ridiculously dominant.

1999: 22-11-2 with 2.5 blocks/game, 23-12-3 with 3 blocks/game in the playoffs, 3rd in MVP votes, 5th DPOY vote, 27-14-2 and 2 blocks/game in the finals for Finals MVP

2000: 23-12-3 with 2 blocks/game, All-Star MVP, injured and missed playoffs, 5th in MVP vote (shut down early with injury)

2001: 22-12-3 with 2 blocks/game, 24-15-4 with 3 blocks/game in the playoffs, 2nd in MVP vote, 3rd DPOY vote

2002: 26-13-4 with 2.5 blocks/game, 28-14-5 with 4 blocks/game in the playoffs, Won MVP

2003: 23-13-4 with 3 blocks/game, 25-15-5 with 3 blocks/game in the playoffs, Won MVP, 4th DPOY vote, 25-17-5 and 5 blocks/game in the finals for Finals MVP


2004: 22-12-3 with 3 blocks/game, 22-11-3 with 2 blocks/game in the playoffs, 2nd in MVP vote, 7th DPOY vote

2005: 20-11-3 with 3 blocks/game, 24-12-3 with 2 blocks/game in the playoffs, 4th in MVP vote, 4th DPOY vote, 21-14-2 and 2 blocks/game in the finals for Finals MVP


1st-Team All-NBA every single year, 1st-team All-Defensive every single year, right in the middle of prime Garnett, McGrady, and Dirk

A 7 year stretch with 2 MVPs and 2 second-place MVP finishes plus 3 Finals MVPs

And all that success when he only had 2 teammates make the All-Star game a total of 3 times combined in that whole stretch.

That's a hell of a prime




Shaq - worst
Kobe - best

So Kobe was worse than the worst guy on that list for 7 years, but climbs to best because of that stretch where he failed to win a playoff series for the next three years. :mjlol:

Kobe played in a better system. The triangle offense. Duncan would have won 25 rings with Shaq and Phil.

KOBE ONLY PLAYED IN THE TRIANGLE FOR A PORTION OF HIS CAREER. HE SPENT A LOT OF GOOD YEARS ON REBUILDING TEAMS WIT TERRIBLE COACHES TOO .. THEREIN LIES THE DIFFERENCE

He got Phil fired. That's his own doing. He should have made it work. Egos aside.

The "system" wasnt a thing until about 5 years ago. In 99, 03, 05, 07 there was no talk about pops system.

THE SPURS WON TITLES WITH HIM AS A ROLE PLAYER

:martin:

So was Kobe a roll player in the three peat? He didn't get fmvp.

Dream is by far the least accomplished out of the group. Outside of 94-95 (in which his help played pretty well) we never saw him put a team on his shoulders ala LeBron or glue a team together ala Duncan. He's maybe the second most individually talented (behind Kareem) but his leadership was :scust:

Look at his playoff record outside of 94-95. Its bad.
