Twin Towers

Ok, here goes. Here's another way to measure the greatness of Tim Duncan.

Remember back in the day when the term "Twin Towers" was a fad?

Well, here's a list of the most notable twin tower tandems:

NBA

Ralph Sampson & Akeem Olajuwon, Houston Rockets

went to finals in Sampson's third year, Olajuwon's second, lost

David Robinson & Tim Duncan, Spurs

won two NBA titles

College

Sam Bowie & Melvin Turpin, Kentucky

destroyed by Patrick Ewing & Georgetown in Final Four

High School

Rashard Griffith & Thomas Hamilton, Chicago King

won Illinois state championship in 1993

WTC 1 & WTC 2

blown up by Dick Cheney in 2001

Notice anything here?

Once again, Tim Duncan is the best. The others all underachieved. It not all that easy for two 7-footers to work together. Sampson & Olajuwon might have, had Sampson not gone down with an injury, but they had their chance.

Bowie & Turpin never won anything.

Griffith & Hamilton won one state title, which isn't much compared to two NBA titles for Duncan & Robinson.

And you'd think a high school team with a 7 footer and a 7' 2" -er could win more than one state title.

Dave was 32 when Tim arrived in 1997. Tim was 21.

How old is Tim gonna be next season? 32. Ian? 21!

Damn... who are the two chicks on the left, and can I have a link to the rest of the series for both?

.. and Cheney blew up the WTC? Evil Dick is a shady fuck, but WTC jokes are lame.
