Somewhere 3-6.
Kinda in a debate with some people on his place in history, but its hard to speak about guys like Wilt, Russel, Dr. J, and West since I never really got to see them play. Even then all I've ever seen of f Bird vs Magic is on ESPN Classic and NBA TV, but I at least can that I have actually seen them.
Just curious to see where the older people would rank Duncan
Somewhere 3-6.
Are you talking about ranking him with every NBA player at any position? If so - I'd have to put him at 3 or 4. If you asked me to rank him at his position, he's a lock at #1 (hey, it is a Spurs' forum)
Duncan is in the same neighborhood with Hakeem, Shaq, Bird, and Magic, looking up only at MJ, Wilt, and Kareem.
I mean the greatest players of all time, where would Duncan rank on that list?
I figured he would come in around 7-10 range right next to Shaq.
top 10
hmm MJ, Magic, Wilt, Bird , yep he will be 5. Maybe 6 , cause of Kareem
Behind Karl Malone.
Duncan is #1 on my list... just infront of the Admiral...
From an unbias point of view
He's behind Russell, Kareem, MJ, Wilt and Magic... on the same level as Bird, Hakeem, Shaq...
Best PF of all-time.
Top 10 player of all-time.
probably top 10.
IMO,
Russell
MJ
Magic
Wilt
Duncan
Now you're the one on everyone's list.
12 - 15.
The thing that helps Duncan is that he's been so consistently good (and so have his teams) over the course of his career AND that he never had to face Jordan.
I'm pretty young so I really wouldn't know where to place him definitively. Ever since I started watching basketball in 1997 (which by chance was Duncans first year in L) there's only been two players I've seen play that I can say without a shadow of doubt are better than Duncan and should rank higher than Duncan on a list: Shaq and Jordan.
In the 6-10 range.
I list him behind Kwame Brown and both were drafted #1 overall and play the same position.....haha really he's top ten but with possibilities to be top 5
15-20
Top 15 for sure. As far as PF's, he's number 1. Magic Johnson was incredible. He was probably the second best player I ever saw play. How many players can move from Point Guard to Center in the biggest game of their lives and actually score 40 something points to win...on the road...for the le ?
Right now? Top 10. Call me in four years when he hangs up his kicks.
There's no way I can be objective about this.
Power Forward #1.
All-Time right now, top 5-8.
As far as all-time goes, like exstatic said let's see what he does with the rest of his career. I can easily see him moving up with another le or two.
you guys go extreme
In my view, he is right behind
Chamberlain, Russell, Kareem, Jordan, Magic and Bird.... the Untouchables....
And he is in the same breath with Shaq.
Greatest Power Forward ever.
Overall, Top 5.
+2
And, I agree best PF of all time.
Thing is players in the 6-15 range are all all-time greats and I can see an argument for many of them to be closer to 6 than closer to 15. It's definitely a subjective thing. But, without specifically making a list, I'd probably have Duncan in the lower half of the top 10 all time.
