no, seriously. this is not a troll attempt.

one of the most important things a basketball player can do is protect the ball and avoid turnovers. turnovers generally tend to be a big problem for big men.

however, i think there is a legitimate case that Shawn Bradley is a superior basketball player to David Robinson. check this shit out.

Career TOPG

Robinson - 2.4
Bradley - 1.3

another thing the centers are asked to do is to protect the paint, and a lot of that is shown in the stats of shot blocks. Bradley appears to have been the more efficient paint defender, as he had a much higher percentage of shot blocks during his time on the floor than David Robinson.

Career Block %

Robinson - 5.7% (12th all time)
Bradley - 7.8% (2nd all time)





discuss.

Not only was Robinson a better player but he was such a superior athlete that when he chased someone with a Bible he could actually catch them. When did that slow footed Mormon missionary mother fucker ever run a play down or lead a fast break?

Robinson was a loser. He was just fortunate that Duncan dragged him kicking & screaming into a winner's circle.

It happens.

true. same thing goes for that loser Kobe saved by Pau Gasol + Fisher. And that loser Nowitzki saved by Kidd and Chandler.

In conclusion:
- Kobe = loser
- Drob = loser
- Shaq = winner
- Duncan = winner

No. Gasol couldn't win a single playoff game till Kobe took him in.

Don't feel bad about Robinson, hater. Duncan saved him. It's okay, daddy.

yup. Gasol saved loser Kobe.

No need to feel bad about 2nd tier player like DRob. Duncan is what it's all about.

same thing with lakers Kobe = 2nd tier. Shaq is what it's all about. :tu

DRob and Kobe were never meant to win on their own. Never did, never will.

And yet Kobe won two without Daddy, and Gasol could never win a single playoff game without Kobe.

Good thread.

D-Rob gets by on name recognition only, while Bradley's contributions to the game have been largely overlooked due to the color of his skin.

Shameful.
