What happens if D Rob and Hakeem switch teams in 95?
Robinson was 20-12 against Hakeem head to head before Duncan arrived.Quote:

I'm not saying they had a similar game but rather had a similar career when you look at their situation/narratives (just like how folks compare Tim to Kareem/Russell) otherwise Admiral wasn't averaging 5 assists at any point of his career like KG. Basically, KG is the Admiral of PFs.
Not really. Robinson was instrumental in keeping Duncan and winning a title, without one or the other they wouldn't have gotten funding for a new arena, and they'd have been gone.Quote:

Big Dummy, I'm talking about the '95 playoffs when Admiral was the MVP. (Ewing, who was on a decline, did a better job on MVP Hakeem in the '94 Finals)Quote:

Also, lol @ picking out one year out of so many... 2004, obviously KG's best year... where his stacked team only won 57 games and bowed out in the playoffs.
Admiral NEVER had a career defining performance such as this when he single handily beat the same Kings squad that took care of Nash/Dirk/Finley/Jamison in 5 games:
Rasho was 2nd in win-shares on the Wolves in 2002-03:lmao (KG averaged 27/15/5 on 50% shooting against the Lakers whom they could have beaten if Rasho didn't get steam rolled by Shaq in the 2nd half of Gm 4 when the Wolves had a chance to go up 3-1...remember how one game changed the Spurs fate after they won 2 games in 2003: Horry's shot rims out & 2004: Fisher 0.4)Quote:
Also, the Spurs tied the season series with them that year (also 2002 and 2003) but we beat them in the season series every other year Garnett was in Minnesota as well as beating them every time we met them in the playoffs.
KG has a Bball IQ that rivals LeBron:lolQuote:
KG was obviously the more athletic guy, but he doesn't hold a candle to TD in the brains department or really overall.
Which is why I'm making the comparison b/w Admiral & KG rather than KG/Tim.:wakeup (KG would have won more than one if he didn't get injured in 2009)Quote:
Lastly, TD never even considered bandwagoning a different stacked title contender (in the Leastern Conference no less) to win a championship. KG never won a title as the alpha dog, whereas TD won 3 of them. Overall, TD has five rings, KG has one.
Folks act like KG wasn't the best player on the 2008 Celtics just like Tim in 2007, he was the best defensive player in the league & ended Sheed's career:
He also run Bron out of town in 2010:
At least he isn't getting in the way of the franchise & the young players like Kirby, he's basically getting paid a coaches salary to be a mentor.:rolleyesQuote:
With KG, anything is possible... including the fact he's a waste of a roster spot at this point. He needs to retire and let that team grow without him, seriously.
Admiral did nothing but bend down when Mail Man came to town. The Mail Man doesn't deliver on Sundays but Admiral goes to church b/c he's scared.Quote:

I wish we could see today's bigs vs 90's bigs, wonder how they would've fared.
Garnett would have been BETTER in today's small ball era; Draymond Green is basically a bootleg version of KG.:lolQuote:

Eh, I don't really consider him a 90's big, didn't reach his peak until the 00's. I would've like to have seen if Olajuwon could defend these guys though, which I don't think he could, especially not KG.Quote:
