Why Tim Duncan is overrated and KG is underrated

[Bilz]

Duncan def isn't overrated but he owes alot due to being placed in the perfect situation, similarly to Tom Brady being on the Patriots and Belichick

He is what made it a perfect situation though

This nikka used Mario Elie, Avery Johnson, Sean Elliot, and Steve Kerr and "stacked" in the same sentence. I knew then that you weren't serious.

I was just gonna come in here and say that

OP not worth a response

Yes he was. David was a good player after but he wasn't MVP level Drob(1990-1996) which is my point in general. I would take 04' Cassell over any player Duncan had from 00-04. He was arguably the best PG in the game that year

And what about KG playing with rondo,allen, and pierce... That doesn't count? The year he went down that team went to game 7 of the ECF semis without him

When Duncan went down in the 00' Offs, the spurs lost in the first rd

That's not true, celtics lost in the 2nd round to the magic, who beat the cavs to reach the finals

Yea, cause when you have Mario Ellie, Avery Johnson, and Sean Elliot on your team it's just not fair because of how "stacked" the team is. Lol...

I don't believe the hype that Tim Duncan is the greatest Power Forward ever. To me KG is the greatest Power Forward to play this game (With honorable mention to Kevin Mchale, Bob Pettit, Charles Barkley, and Elvin Hayes)

Honestly I never respected Tim Duncan. Not for him as a person or his unselfishness on the court, but his career.


Duncan is not a power forward. He is a center that plays power forward. He played PF due to him playing with Robinson. Then when he retired, Duncan was too scared to play against Shaq when he was on the Lakers so he stayed in that position.

Also people really overlook how stacked those Spurs teams were. From the '99 team with Avery Johnson, Mario Ellie, Shawn Elliot, Robinson, etc. Then later Kerr, Stephen Jackson, Ginobili, Parker, etc. Let someone say KG had any body on his team close to that. None of his teammates were no where as good as even one of Duncan's. To me its impressive that KG lead his teams to the playoffs and lost in the WC Finals in 2004 with Sprewell and Cassell as his best teammates

And now on Duncan the player. As crazy as it may sound, Duncan was overrated. He is the perfect example of a system guy. Duncan was the lone player in all those 4 titles, but so was Popovich as a coach. Popovich to me is one of the greatest coaches of all time IMO. One of the best at creating plays, and recognizing the talent he has and utilizing it to its greatest potential to succeed. One of the best half court executing teams. Duncan was not that great an individual talent offensively or defensively. I will admit had a very high BBall IQ and utilized the "system" to perfection and had the physical tools to do so. Not to mention he was the ultimate team player. He knows exactly where to be and it helps that he is a good passer. But when have you ever seen Duncan put someone in a phone booth defensively or dominated someone offensively? What I'm basically saying is Duncan's greatness is predicated on Popovich's off and deff sets.

KG on the other hand never had a steady coach on the Wolves except for Flip Saunders for a few years. Was the anchor on defense on a poor defensive team. One of the best defensive players of any position IMO. An exceptional passer. Also one of the best footwork for a big man. Only Mchale and Olajuwon are in his league in that regard. Duncan's defense is again a "system" defense. He plays good defense on only power forwards since he really is a center anyway lol

To say Duncan is the best because of his titles is wrong, given his very talented teammates and hall of fame coach. Is Kobe better than Oscar Robertson because of his 5 titles? Um..hell no. Duncan is not in the same league as KG

This is not a shot at Duncan to make KG look good. I am simply stating that he is not the player people portray him to be. Duncan should still be in the Hall of Fame obviously, but not in that all time elite status. KG, instead of Duncan, should be regarded as the greatest PF to ever play

Im sure you havent ate breakfast yet typing this nonsense here is some bacon and negs for you

nikka u applyin for Sports Illustrated or something?

"Duncan was not that great an individual talent offensively or defensively. I will admit had a very high BBall IQ and utilized the "system" to perfection and had the physical tools to do so.

is where you lost your argument. You can't call someone "overrated" if they are adept at executing all these things.

I just wanted to thank all you kind souls, my brehs, for putting this chump in the red. You are all the reason I post here , @tremonthustler1 you're lucky you put me onto Nikola Bestovic, or else I'd slap box you to death breh.

Im going back to dap everyone who celebrated this nikkas demise.

 

[Versa]

KG is my favorite player of all time along with Reggie Miller, but he isn't better than Duncan. He was a better overall talent, but as far as the job description goes for both of them - being a POWER FORWARD - Duncan did it better than him. Duncan did it better than anyone.

I agree that staying too long on those Minnesota teams has people forgetting about how great KG is, but to say Duncan is overrated is blasphemous.
