Jeremy Lin's more influential than Chris Paul.
You guys know I clearly disagree but it's painfully obvious this is how the mainstream media perceives the two players. These are the main reasons why
- Garnett opened the door for guys skipping College
- He played in Boston and 2008 Celtics are considered superior to any of Duncan's Championship teams
- KG is a flamboyant player and out spoken. A great quote for reporters
Jeremy Lin's more influential than Chris Paul.
I'm serious. I watched ESPN's Playoff preview video and they showed KG twice before a quick pic of Duncan. Kobe got his own split screen with MJ
Yup good point. Yao more influential than Kareem IMO
Duncan's 5 rings says enough....
Who gives a what the media thinks
Who gives a ? OP has the giest takes on this site.
Tim owned him in their primes. That's enough for me.
Did I say Garnett was more popular among inner city kids? Both of you are bringing regional popularity into this
Media molds the perception of Americans.
Nope. Ming is global not regional.
Shaq is more known than Yao
Not globaly
I don't believe Yao was that known in Europe.
Europe is a speck in the entire globe. Irrelevant has been continent
More influential is not the same as better player....
Is Garnett more influential than Duncan.....maybe. It's debatable....
Is Garnett a better player than Duncan.....no. It's not debatable....
Now, I only give a about one of these things. I'll let you figure out which one it is.
You think Yao is more known in Africa than Shaq? South America?
You still have to Win to be known. Yao never came close to winning a Championship
What about that one time Kevin grabbed that other players
had that been in the internet era there would b gifs of it
happend like in 2003
Get the outta here.
Were they better? I dunno
Are they considered better? Yes
I've heard those Celtics mentioned multiple times on television in the past week when discussing the Warriors
Nobody knows Shaq in Africa or south America. They barely know magic and Jordan and maybe bird and pippen
They don't give a about NBA in Africa or south america
Haha then Yao's popularity was regional. Even then he's the "tall asian guy". Few people know the name Yao. Shaq is a brand.
Was Bill Simmons mentioning them? Cause if it was him....that doesn't count.
2014 Spurs>>>>>>>>>>Any Celtics championship team ever
At the end of the day, the Bulls are still a ty team with a pussy for a PG and Duncan and KG are both rich as and OP is a 3rd world got.
More countries in the world know Yao over Shaq. So Shaq is the regional name.
