Played with Popabytch Manu David Rob and Parker tho
Will Tim Duncan ever become flabby and sick?
- Thread starter MikelArteta
- Start date
Yup. Kareem probably was best served retiring after 1988 when LAL won it all.
Getting swept by the Pistons in a re-match is a tough way to go out
He was 40 and 41 years old. If Duncan is still playing next year and the year after we might finally see that type of decline, but who knows..Karl Malone was still getting 20 and 8 at 40
David was on his last legs when he arrived, many and tony were rookies in 03.
So you saying manu+tony = magic?
David Robinson played 6 seasons after Duncan was drafted
Parker was a rookie in 2001-2002... Manu was new in 2002-2003.
His game was tailor made for him to still be effective as he got up in years as long as his body could withstand the rigors of playing 82 games. And other then that little stretch a few years back where his knee was messed up and you could see a little decline (but not as much as people thought, it was mainly because of the knee injury) he has been the same impact player that he was in his prime just in lesser minutes. Now obviously he probably cant play 40 minutes a night and be as effective but that's why he doesn't. Pops manages his minutes just right and he never seems worn down at the end of the season and during the playoffs. I think he can play and still be effective even in his mid 40's.

I mean as a big man this is ridiculous. The only thing that has changed is his minutes, give dude 34 minutes a game and he'd still be putting up 20 and 10, I honestly thought this was the year he'd fade somewhat.
The goat
Duncan has been flabby and sick since 2009. He is still a very good player, but let's not act like he's anywhere close to where he used to be.
It's still impressive that he is playing this well at age 39.
When he came back lean after the 2011 season he brought another title to the SA because of it

I cannot believe that someone is trying to make an argument that Timmay is better than Kareem. Kareem is arguably the only player that people would choose over MJ to start a franchise. He was that special of a player. We still haven't seen someone that can mimick what he did as a player. In fact, a real student of the game would start their franchise with a 22 year old Kareem. You plug and player all kinds of players and coaches and still win titles with him. I am saying this someone who thinks that Timmay is the best player post MJ era.
