Best post moves in the NBA

[Fernando TD21]

Duncan is mentioned by some players.

That was awesome, lots of nice things said about Duncan :tu

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Not Tiago Splitter.

[8FOR!3]

Amar'e and KG said it straight up. That's impressive. Props to Garnett, didn't think he'd admit something like that.

[spectator]

that's a nice tribute to duncan - bookmarked

[DAF86]

Scola thread (?)

[TDfan2007]

Love Timmy, and I love that he gets that respect, but he hasn't been the best post player since 2009. He's got it in spurts, but not consistently like he used to be able to. Losing all that weight for his knees has really hurt his post game :depressed

[BillMc]

Ah, but there was a time when his post moves were jaw dropping. Like a taller, faster, smarter Kevin McHale....

Bank shot, Bank Shot, Dunk...

Man, now I'm all nostalgic...

[rmt]

That's very complimentary - I'm surprised at the love from KG and Amare.

[timvp]

Not Tiago Splitter.

Tiago Splitter is definitely my choice for best post moves when wide open for a layup and there's no reason to use a post move. He has a nasty Dream Shake he likes to use against the air.

[TDMVPDPOY]

rookie or prime duncan is unstoppable..

[spurs10]

Thanks Fernando! Really dug that!

[Leetonidas]

My sig is a great example of this

[Leetonidas]

ok nevermind, apparently the NFL has some sort of copyright issue with my video? weird. :lol

[blackfire12]

Not Tiago Splitter.

This is true

[Russo21]

Brilliant stuff :-)

[Sean Cagney]

That's very complimentary - I'm surprised at the love from KG and Amare.

Why not they battled him in several series and for years on end!!!!! Who better than to tell it but those two? I mean seriously.

[007nites]

Duncan abused Amare in the post for almost the entire decade.

Post moves involve footwork and ball fakes. I haven't seen him demonstrate that consistently. His moves look methodical and forced. I wonder what effect his knee has on that.

Exactly. He used to own them in the playoffs.

[FkLA]

god fucking damn why did timmy have to get old :pctoss :depressed

my favorite timmy post move has always been the baseline spinmove where he bumped the defender, spun, kept his dribble, and then finished with a dunk...cant remember the last time i even saw him try that tbh :(

Q7DxunGG74o

the move is at 2:45, so cot damn nasty

[mingus]

Tim didn't age well like most thought he would. I thought he'd be around 20-10 til his mid 30s. His knees don't let him spin or do any of those quick clever post moves he used to do. He's not as nimble.

[jgome21]

Matt Bonner has my vote....

[Proxy]

All of the sudden... my favorite non-Spurs are Amare, KG, Hibbert, Rashard, and Lopez...

I enjoyed Kevin Love talking about playing defense too.

That's what happens when you play with one knee, brotha. It was never about age.

[Leetonidas]

Imagine Duncan's career had he never fucked his knee up in 2000, GOAT tbh

[Fireball]

good stuff ...

[dylankerouac]

Is it as simple as trying to regenerate his cartilage in his knees? There is lots of research in this area right now. I found this link at the top of my google search http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1283658/Doctors-regrow-knee-scratch-pioneering-procedure.html and there are probably many different options that one can look into for regrowing cartilage in their knee.

We've heard that quote from Pop that Timmy's knee is bone on bone. Is this the only problem with the knee(s)?

[Budkin]

The consensus is in... Timmy D FTW.

[DMC]

I lol'ed.

I was thinking the same thing. He fakes out all these invisible defenders.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Timmy had the best post moves from 1997-2009, but age has robbed him of the title. Nice piece though.

[Rapper]

Too big too strong too fast too balance

[CGD]

Nice find. Makes me nostalgic not just for the days when TD was in his prime, but when the NBA still truly featured postplay. Many of the bigs of today are merely glorified dunkers and bruisers (e.g., the "best big man in the game today" Dwight Howard).

Not Tiago Splitter.

True. He was even blocked by Beaubois right under the rim

[callo1]

After what I saw tonight, Scola has the best post moves now...not the most powerful, but crafty.
