When was Duncan first universally considered as the best PF ever?

[irishock]

'99? '03? Surely it didn't take too long for him to surpass that choking, pedo piece of shit Karl Malone.

[MeloHype]

When he won a ring

[Thread]

Yep, Media dotes on him and have for a decade. He's grandfathered & juiced in.

Only the memories remain now, but, he knew that was the reality when he proclaimed his "play till the wheels fall off" testament back then. I don't blame him. This is as good as it's gonna get. And it'll never get this good again. He knew that without being told. Kobe knows it too. He just won't come out with a "wheels" statement like Duncan. But, he knows.

[MolaMola790]

no way it was early as 99.....

[horsielove]

how about "till both achilles tears off"? it won't be long till that happens right?

[TDMVPDPOY]

98/99 imo he became goat not because of finals and shit,

he was already makin a name in his rookie season also

Media fell in love with him. And I'll venture a reason that upon reflection is sound:::he (Duncan) saved Robinson from Media's wrath. If you'll recall Media was all over Robinson like ugly on an ape back then because his game was much like Howards is now/raw and incomplete with trace evolvement. Duncan came in and completed Robinson, made him whole, removed the lightening rod that had been lodged in David's ass by Media.

Hey now...the Lakers let go of Horry for Malone.

But, even after that during the last back-to-back Horry was in LA hanging around the team and Phil wouldn't touch him. Once Phil said "no", it was etched in granite. Stubborn fuck.

And he rung us twice and Malone cost you 6

[apalisoc_9]

2003 Duncan passed Malone
2011 Dirk Passed Malone
2010 KG Passed Malone

Once we're done with these 80's and 90's players as analyst, Dirk and KG should surpass them both as well in terms of all time rankings

Heard Duncan switched to PF position because he was scared of Shaq

Could be, but when it's all said and done, Duncan has had a more lucrative career than Shaq.

Slapstick is slapstick. Hit or miss, and this time, it hit. Sweet spot, 500 over the wall.

[gnsf0946]

you still have people who'd take Malone, Barkley, KG over him so it's not really universal

[Spur-Addict]

Oh, and as far as the OP is concerned, it likely was 05. But the writing was on the wall when he shut down the forum and dropped trou on Shaq Diesel and co.

Don't worry Thread, it's water under the bridge now that Staples is constructed. Most people have forgotten that moment, but it lives on in the shadows of the subconscious occasionally resurfacing like a reoccurring nightmare.

[spurraider21]

2003 was when he surpassed em all. As far as the consensus? Probably came about later

[Thread]

Like I said earlier there were rumblins' very early on. It was a set up by Media like they set up Clifford Robinson up in Portland....Only difference:::Duncan fit the suit they'd taken off the rack at Wal Mart. Duncan was charley potatoes as the century turned. Robinson looked like mashed potatoes.

[DMC]

:rolleyes

He shut it down cold, lights off. You cannot begrudge him that. Just as you locked the doors on a forum, Duncan ended the Forum.

when Karl Malone retired without a ring imho

[baseline bum]

When he won a title, going through Shaq & Kobe, with a supporting cast consisting almost entirely of players either before or long past their primes. Once he got revenge on LA in 03 that's when the talk of him being the top PF all-time really started.

[Reck]

So 2004? :lmao

No way was it that late into his career.

TOSB with a double double at HT vs the twin monkeys

Not bad

I would say after the spurs won the title in '05. Prior to that there was still a bunch of haters in the media who believed that he lucked out playing with Drob. A lot of them said he would never win a title again without Drob. So winning in '05 solidified that he was the greatest PF of all time.

The only thing Baseline missed was that he did it as MVP of the both Regular Season and the Finals. That helped CEMENT IT.

[DMC]

I'd say after the ruling GOAT PF said so (Barkley).

Who knew CWebb could have been the greatest PF of all time had he played under coach Pop. I wonder why he never asked for a trade to the Spurs.

In reality, Chuck, CWebb and Malone are equal as PFs: 0 and forever.

I say 2003 when he won his second straight MVP, second title, second Finals MVP, and one of the best single seasons in history (much like last season for James).
