In the all time Great Spur as the second best spur of all time..

Winning a ring in the Durant-Curry-Thompsom-Draymond and Lebron-Kyrie-Love era :wow...

With majority of his supporting cast being past their prime or way too young. :wow

It's like saying, "If Murry wins a ring this year, he surpasses Barkley." Or, "If Kawhi wins the next five Championships in a row, he surpasses Duncan." Senseless.

Tell you what. If Kawhi rings this year while carrying his too-old and too-young supporting cast? Bump the thread and ask the question then.

No.

First, I don't think he leads the Spurs to a title this year. And maybe they take a few steps back from last year. Pau is new. Tim is gone, and the bench is as inexperienced as ever. I think it's a down year. I think they win 50 games and lose in the 2nd round to a team they would've beat this year.

Second, this team, while a downgrade, is a better roster than anything Robinson had pre Duncan.

Third, different era. If Robinson played in this era at 26, he'd probably win 3 titles in this league with no bigs. I don't think Kawhi would lead a team to the final in Robinson 's era.

Robinson means more on and off the court. He kept the Spurs relevant at a time when there was talk of them relocating. Plus, in a military city, he actually served two years, which is unheard of now. And give him those two years in his youth and Duncan may not own all the Spur records.

I like Kawhi, but he's far behind Robinson.

You mean if he transcends his game yet again and carries this team through the playoffs, through GS and Cleveland (most likelies) to a ring as the undisputed Leader of the team?
And win another consecutive DPOY and get major consideration for the MVP again? Maybe win it?

I will seriously consider it.

Robinson path the way for TD to take over the team. His attitude and personality still surrounds this great organisation. Timmy just took it on another level. Leonard will have to do the same and win another ring or two.

Would actually be quite impressive if Kawhi can lead this team to a title. The odds are pretty slim right now.

Spurs had 5 50 plus win seasons with Robinson. Robinson won an MVP, DPOY, was on 10 all NBA teams along with 8 defensive NBA teams, scoring champ, lead the league in blocks and rebounds at least once in his career. Robinson was also a 10 time all-star. Kawhi has a long way to go before he can top Robinson in the spurs hierarchy

Not yet imo. Robinson made the Spurs relevant in the 90s. he was a terror on defense and averaged almost 30ppg one season :wow and has an MVP under his belt. I love Kawhi and i think he has potential to be the 2nd greatest spur but it will take a few more years leading the team imo

Then you're an idiot - because you know what KL can do to his competition. Swap Leonard for Robinson and the spurs would have rang every year he was in the league had he been blessed with the team KL has thus far. Put Leonard on the 80s 90s spurs.. there would be no spurs today. No one who has ever witnessed these two players in an actual game - not some youtube highlight - would say that KL is even on pace to touch Robinson.

Robinson AVERAGED KL's best scoring season, more assists, and Robinsons AVERAGE PER was KL best. I'll stop there - but statistically Robinson had better stats than Tim - and had he not gotten injured or had a better team - would have had even better. Many people consider Tim the best Spur ever, and I doubt anyone would dare compare KL to Tim, however, Tim and David were very similar in terms of stats and imprint on the game. Had Duncan and Robinson switched careers Robinson very easily could have won more rings than Tim.

What a dumb post. Kudos

Kawhi: league MVP + Finals > Gervin/Ginobili/Parker as 3rd Greatest Spur
Kawhi: league MVP + Ring (FMVP) > Robinson as 2nd Greatest Spur..

It depends on how you weigh post-season vs. regular season.

As far as natural talent and game impact, David Robinson is a far superior player to Kawhi. David really did have GOAT potential if not for his post-season chokes (I really do wish we could go back and look at every one of David's pre-Duncan playoff runs and see if they were chokes, or simply a result of having an average supporting cast. Vinny Del Negro was the starting SG during the Robinson era. Think about that).

Like a lot of elite bigs (Duncan included), he had some struggles from the line - late - at times. All in all, his burden was mostly that supporting cast - really unfortunate injuries, as well.

David guarded Hakeem, the Rockets guarded Dave. Because of that supporting cast, that's how it worked with most teams.

Dave could of, and maybe should've, been held in higher regard than Tim. Considerably more gifted physically. He just never developed enough of a back-to-basket game to dominate teams the way Tim could. But ho-ly-shit... look at the team success he had, regular-season wins, advancing in the playoffs... it's comical in both how good he was and underappreciated he is.

Or maybe, he was just born at the wrong time. He'd be killing it if he were playing today, and the Mr. Robinson commercials and fanfare would have been eaten up by the media even more.

Great post - Spurs have Manu and Tony and they both have won 4 rings. KL ringing and winning an MVP this year still wouldn't put him in contention with these guys. Robinson with only 2, is still on a different platform.

Chinook
07-21-2016, 07:54 AM
I honestly don't think the Spurs get past the Warriors unless LMA and Gasol ball out. Kawhi and Green will have their hands full holding off the Warriors perimeter players to give their team a chance. Then you'd have Parker, Manu and Anderson hopefully doing some scoring with Mills and the other bench guys filling in the cracks. It would be a true team victory, and only playerfans would be able to give it to any one player.

Of course, if the series with Cleveland ended up being Kawhi owning Lebron, then I can understand some narratives shifting.

Yeah...I thought about it after my first post. He could carry a team. Leonard hasn't shown that. If you exchange the 2 and put Leonard on those older teams, they don't get a ring. If you replace Leonard with DRob these last few years, you probably have at least one more ring. Maybe 2. I realize that's pretty simplistic.

Tim Duncan was the leader of that team for the past 19 seasons. Not Manu. Not Parker. Not Kawhi. The Spurs were Duncan's team. These next few seasons are going to be important for the Spurs are far as leadership goes. Someone will have to emerge as the leader of the team.

And NO, do not read into that as me saying Duncan is why they lost in the playoffs.

Killakobe81
07-21-2016, 10:06 AM
No.

First, I don't think he leads the Spurs to a title this year. And maybe they take a few steps back from last year. Pau is new. Tim is gone, and the bench is as inexperienced as ever. I think it's a down year. I think they win 50 games and lose in the 2nd round to a team they would've beat this year.

Second, this team, while a downgrade, is a better roster than anything Robinson had pre Duncan.

Third, different era. If Robinson played in this era at 26, he'd probably win 3 titles in this league with no bigs. I don't think Kawhi would lead a team to the final in Robinson 's era.

Robinson means more on and off the court. He kept the Spurs relevant at a time when there was talk of them relocating. Plus, in a military city, he actually served two years, which is unheard of now. And give him those two years in his youth and Duncan may not own all the Spur records.

I like Kawhi, but he's far behind Robinson.

great points.
People are starting to forget how great David was.
how many guys have led the league in scoring and have also won a DPOTY?
David and Jordan?
David was the first modern day player he used to crush the old IBM metrics ...

Look we all saw Hakeem dismantle him and no he did not win until Tim arrived ...
But if Kiwi (i love him outside of durant/VCurry/Lebron he is my favorite non Laker) had to lead a team with no other HOF players or all-stars I doubt he could do as much damage as David. And i think Kiwi might be th best all around wing defender I have ever seen. And you still take David. He was like a taller Kiwi with chiseled physique ran like a deer and could defend the pnr and protect the rim.

Outside of on the block and maybe as a passer. Robinson actually was better at a lot of basketball related things than Duncan tbh. He was almost Lebron without the vision.

In the all time Great Spur as the second best spur of all time..

Winning a ring in the Durant-Curry-Thompsom-Draymond and Lebron-Kyrie-Love era :wow...

With majority of his supporting cast being past their prime or way too young. :wow

Think it takes 2 more titles and maybe fmps.

And to everyone that thinks the Spurs are out title

contention now that TD is retired, wrong.

The Spurs are still very much title contenders.

While I mostly agree - at least he poses some questions that make people passionate and want to debate.

In terms of Spurs lore, if kawhi could get MVP, DPOY, and FMVP while dominating GSW, then CLE, id crown him 2nd best Spur of all time... i think thats honestly fair.

I honestly don't think the Spurs get past the Warriors unless LMA and Gasol ball out. Kawhi and Green will have their hands full holding off the Warriors perimeter players to give their team a chance. Then you'd have Parker, Manu and Anderson hopefully doing some scoring with Mills and the other bench guys filling in the cracks. It would be a true team victory, and only playerfans would be able to give it to any one player.

Of course, if the series with Cleveland ended up being Kawhi owning Lebron, then I can understand some narratives shifting.
:tu Good response. I think it's a mischaracterization to say Kawhi has a too old or too young team. He has LMA, Danny and Mills in their primes. Plus the roster has a nice blend of skilled teammates, versatility and flexibility, from shooters, to energy athletes, to passers/playmakers, to bigs. From the look of things (since that was long b4 my time) David never had a supporting cast quite like this. I agree that to reach the top, it will take a total team effort.

Absolutely.
