No one crediting how a 38 year old PF played through no AC?

[Thebesteva]

Not one person on ESPN, Fox Sports, etc mentioning how a 38 year old just played a phenomenal game through the 2nd half without AC? If I told you in the beginning of the game the AC goes out, which player would you be more concerned about? Duncan or Lebron?

For fucks sakes people get it together

Not that I personally know, but I've heard that gay male sex is twice as intense and steamy as straight sex. This could explain the reason for Jim's ability to perform at such a high level under harsh conditions.

[Buddy Mignon]

And if you think about it... imagine fucking a woman with the testosterone levels of a man... GREAT FUCK, yeah? Ok, now pit two men against each other. So, Jim had a hell of an advantage when the AC went out.

Duncan isn't 80 years old, he's a fucking top 5-7 player of all-time that has a coach that rests him well..don't know why anybody would be surprised by that:lol..

it's ridiculous, but Duncan doesn't play up the star angle like Kobe or Lebron, so the media doesn't give a fuck about him ultimately. The media loves stars and divas.

You see... this is a perfect example of how you guys distort reality to suit your fictional narrative. Duncan is 37 not 38, but you'll conveniently round up a year to boost Jim's not so legend legendary status. As a Laker fan, when I see you knocking at my back door I simply reach into my treasure chest and decide on which weapon to murder you with. I'll give you Ducan being 38 even though he's not. So let's compare him to Kareem and see how he holds up. At 38 Kareem was averaging 23 points a game while playing 33 minutes. In the playoffs that year he upped his game to 26 points per game all while playing 35 minutes. Although he didn't win a title that year... he did go on to win back2back the following years.

Now... as I search for Duncan's stats at age 38 I can't find any... so we'll just have to settle for his age 37 stats... ok? At age 37 Duncan averaged 15 points all while playing 29 minutes. In the playoffs he has averaged 16 points all while playing 32 minutes. Now... I know you asked Kool for his opinion on how great Duncan is playing at an age he's yet to reach... but I'll give you my opinion. For a guy that I thought would be in a retirement home just a few years ago I think he's playing well for today's standard of basketball. But when compared against the best he's just barely recognizable.

The media is smart. They know all they have to do is repeat shit over and over again and it becomes reality to people who refuse to do research. Notice how today's mantra is "Kobe is fucked no matter who wins this year." Why would Kobe be threatened by a nigga that he dominated in his prime and a nigga that choked to get there to face him when he had the chance. The media never mentions Kobe vs Duncan head to head... with or without Shaq. The media never mentions how Lebron failed to meet Kobe in the finals two straight years after winning the most games in the regular season. Yet those same nerds vote Lebron the MVP award while Kobe wins the titles. Hell... they even had commercials with the two, but Lebron never showed up. Lebron is a joke homie... and Duncan is great only when you keep it in perspective. This is why they always say he's the best PF of all time, but never the best big man. They won't dare enter that territory.

Head-to-head records :lol

Kobe's 0-1 against Dirk and 1-2 against Steve Nash.

So...

Kobe's fucked no matter who wins. Either Tim ties him in ring count or James becomes the 1st perimeter player since Jordan to lead his team to a 3 peat. Also, a Finals win puts James ahead 1 in the Finals MVP count.

Unless Kirby returns with a deep playoff run in the next few years, he'll become an afterthought.

He's old school, an antique. Like Kobe's game in the modern NBA. Even Rick Carlisle stated that "slow play=death" in today's NBA. Defenses have become too sophisticated. Kobe 25 times in the post is a relic of a bygone era, and if the Lakers still think they can build around that, they're in for a rude awakening. Luva will cite the repeat, but 09/10 is essentially 100 years ago. The NBA's changed in spades since then.

Kobe blew a 3-1 lead against Nash in '06, the same year he had that meaningless 81 point game. The next year, they were talking up Kobe again, and he lost 4-1 to Nash this time.

Kareem played 0 defense in his late years. SUre if DUncan saved all his energy for offense, he could put up those numbers, but you gotta play both sides of the ball in the NBA.

[Buddy Mignon]

Dirk and Nash are nothing but sub-plots to Kobe's story. At best Duncan was a supporting character. Kobe dominated an era going directly through Duncan. And there is no sports writer on the planet that can change that. At the end of the day its Mikan... Russell... Kareem... Magic... Jordan... Kobe... and now Lebron.

[Buddy Mignon]

Kareem played 0 defense in his late years. SUre if DUncan saved all his energy for offense, he could put up those numbers, but you gotta play both sides of the ball in the NBA.

Look at how stupid you come off. So Kareem played zero defense and still won titles? And i dont see Duncan shutting anyone down you jackass. Even in his prime Duncan chose to allow Malik Rose, or Oboerto, or some other scrub guard Shaq while he rested on defense. Kareem always guarded the other teams big man. Defense is the most overrated part of Jim's game. He has never been a lock down defender like KG or Rodman or Hakeem. In fact... Robinson was a better defender than Duncan.

You just can't stop being wrong.


I decided to go over the 01, 02, 03 Lakers/Spurs playoffs series to see who was primarily guarding Shaq and how effective they were in guarding him. I didn't go over every possession, but I decided to look at every FGA and turnovers forced that Shaq had in those games. I didn't get every game from that 01-03 span because youtube didn't have all of them, but I did get a majority of the games.

vs. Duncan: 21-49 (.429), 8 TOV (5 of them charges/offensive fouls drawn)

vs. Robinson: 31-63 (.492), 5 TOV (1 offensive foul)

vs. Rose: 15-27 (.556), 2 TOV (2 offensive fouls)

vs. Other big men (Bryant, Willis, Walker): 6-12, 1 TOV (1 offensive foul)

vs. Guards: 0-3

vs. open shots with no one guarding Shaq: 11-13

I also kept track of double teams both before the shot and double teams during the shot (sometimes both happened). I didn't count double teams that had no effect on the shot or soft double teams.

vs. Duncan: 11 before shot, 14 after shot, 20 total double teams (35.1% double team%)

vs. Robinson: 10 before shot, 15 after shot, 23 total double teams (33.8% double team%)

vs. Rose: 4 before shot, 5 after shot (33.3% double team%)

vs. other big men: 2 before shot, 3 after shot, 3 total double teams (23.1 double team%)

In 2003, The Spurs made a concerted effort not to double Shaq. They even mentioned it in one of the broadcasts where Popovich told them that they didn't want anyone else to beat them. In the other years, Shaq got a decent amount of double teams and very few triple teams. Most of the double teams I saw were soft and had no effect. Shaq was making his move by the time the double came.


Now here are the stats for who was guarding Shaq in the games Duncan/Robinson played (Robinson missed 1 of the games). This is why I started the project. I wanted to see if Robinson was the sole Shaq defender or if the Spurs took turns defending him.

Duncan 31.0%
Robinson 46.9%
Rose 19.3%
Willis 2.1%
Walker 0.7%


Stats show Duncan guarded Shaq 31% of the time when the Lakers played the Spurs, and that Shaq shot the worse against Duncan.

Oh, and about Kirby's "doberman defense," you might find this article interesting:


The more damning thing is that every metric I’ve broken down here has Kobe’s defensive impact as utterly average. -0.8, -0.6, 0.1, 0.1, these are not numbers of someone who is consistently a game changer on defense. The other guys given even half the love Kobe’s gotten over the year, pretty consistently do turn up on these metric doing quite well.

http://asubstituteforwar.wordpress.com/2011/05/09/kobe-bryant-the-most-overrated-defender-imaginable/

Like it or not, old man, advanced metrics are the new norm in the NBA and no one is taking more of a hit than your boy.
