He is, but he doesn't have dominant stats. Thing is though, worse players have gotten

Yeah he is just borderline I guess then and will get in from worse being in there :lol:lol:lol. He is first ballot, and top 15 all time easily, he is there because he is meant to be there, period!

Dominant stats? Two time MVP THREE TIME FINALS MVP! How many times first team NBA, all star first team how many times! Top whatever in blocks! Rebounds? Yeah he is not for any reason dominant lol........ he is first ballot because he earned it, not because worse have gotten in there.

Obvious yes here. Without him the Spurs have 0 titles and could potentially be in another city right now....

It's true though, he's nowhere near top 20 in rebounds, points, blocks he's top ten, should be there for a while. All of those teams, first team NBA, defense blah blah blah, doesn't count with me.

Three finals MVP is impressive as well as League MVP.
But I don't give much credence to the past decade of champions, any of
them. There hasn't been a truly great team since the last Jordan Bulls.
Those Shaq Laker teams aren't great, neither are these Lakers, Spurs weren't great and neither was any of their comp. Celtics took 26 games to
win their title.

Let's put it like this, to Duncan's credit he was a hell of a player, and he was in the league at the right time.

You're very faint with praise. I wonder what you say about those players you have on the Knicks (if that's the team you're a fan of). As TP said, if Spurs were in NY, TD, Manu and TP would be gods.

[NewJerSpur]

In terms of the actual topic at hand, I agree that this thread has gotten a lot of mileage to have been made by a Lakers fan trying to distract people from paying attention to the series at hand.

Guess I'll have to just cross my fingers and hope that Timmy squeaks his way in the backdoor somehow. :rolleyes

Correct. But technically they both have 3, but we will say TD has 4 for sake of discussion (and so you guys won't say I'm trolling). :downspin:

[LkrFan]

Patrick Ewing (HoF): 0

Neither would TD if he played in the '80s. That was a smash mouth basketball era which would have been too tough for Timmy Finesse Duncan. Remember, he would have been Brad Daugherty (0 rings) at best if he played back then. :lol

[davethedope]

I'm new around here, so just fyi, I try to be objective, and trying
to tweek me by mentioning the Knicks doesn't work. I'm a Yankees fan,
so don't worry about it. I am sympathetic to the Knicks for sentimental
reasons but I don't suffer losers.

Now, on to your issues, if they were on the Knicks they would still
be who they are. I will not even pretend like the Knick contenders of
90's were great teams. We had one all-star and Pat Riley. Knicks
couldn't beat the Bulls end of story. If the positions were reversed I'd
feel the same way.

I hear you man. That's why Phillip Jackson dubs them the Sp*rs. Fucks the cowtippers up everytime. :lol

[davethedope]

It's not exempted. Ewing was alone most of the time. The thing about
those Knick teams, with the exception of a few players, is that New York was
a place for players at the tail end of their career, Maurice Cheeks, Xavier McDaniel,
Larry Johnson, Charles Oakley, etc. etc.

Ewing was a dominant big man, but he couldn't dominate Olajuwon. I'm pretty
sure Robinson got the better of him most of the time.

But back to the lockout title, it wasn't a full season, that year left
a bad taste in everyone's mouth, it simply doesn't count.

[davethedope]

There's no other way. It's an asterix year, everybody knows that.

Not hypocritical. Every NBA champion in league history played a full season en route to their titles minus the '99 Sp*rs. Full season = full credit for a title. :downspin:

Yes, of course. When LakerFan declares the regular season doesn't matter, the regular season doesn't matter. When LakerFan declares the regular season matters, the regular season IS DA MOST IMPORTANT TIME IN DA WORLD. Whatever happens, LakerFan wins. Nice perverted system you people have devised for yourselves. It must feel good to always win, even when you lose. I suspect this is why the rest of the cuntry outside of Orange county hates each and every one of you with a passion. Trump for President.



He is retiring because he isn't healthy and he doesn't want to do it anymore. Nothing more, nothing less.
Can you please provide a link for us to contribute to his retirement fund? Also too, you should post how we can make the twilight of his life more comfortable. What kind of chocolates does he prefer? Does he need his yacht cleaned? Does he prefer his mustache trimmed or shaved? This poor man, if only us laymen could understand the hardships he undergoes and help him out in any way possible.

Duncan is not a Hall of Famer. He's not even retired and he's not been voted into it. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

8. San Antonio Spurs

KEY FACTS

Regular-season record: 37-13
Postseason record: 15-2
Avg. scoring margin: +8.1
Avg. scoring margin, playoffs: +7.2
Finals result: Beat New York, 4-1 LEADERS (regular-season stats)
Scoring: Tim Duncan, 21.7 ppg
Rebounds: Tim Duncan, 11.4 rpg
Assists: Avery Johnson, 7.4 apg
Coach: Gregg Popovich
Finals MVP: Tim Duncan

A forgotten great team because of the lockout, the Spurs began the year 6-8 … and then went 46-7 the rest of the way, with nary a losing streak. An awesome defensive squad led by big men David Robinson and Tim Duncan, San Antonio's 84.7 points allowed per game is far and away the least of any of these 66 squads. That 15-2 postseason mark ain't too shabby either, including sweeps of the Blazers and Lakers. So stingy was the defense that only twice in 17 playoff games did San Antonio's opponent muster 90 points.

Yeah, there'd be an asterix. There's only an asterix because it wasn't a full
season. No one is saying they didn't win, beating a downright useless Knicks
team. I don't even know why you'd want credit for that shit. If you think
honestly the Knicks would've made it to the finals, let alone the playoffs
that year then you're hopeless.

I think Duncan is a great in his time and context. If you think he's
the greatest of all-time no problem, but there's evidence to the contrary.
The problem with Duncan is not him but the NBA of the time.

I think we're just now getting back to a great level of NBA competition, a decade later and of course the owners want to shut the shit down again.
