I’d argue having an mvp teammate is a way bigger advantage than three all star teammates and having an all nba teammate is much bigger than 1.5 x all star.

Won more with far less. End of discussion
I’d argue having an mvp teammate is a way bigger advantage than three all star teammates and having an all nba teammate is much bigger than 1.5 x all star.
"Won more with far less."
What. 4 hall of famers, 3 players, 1 coach wasn't enough?
Less was what Garnett had to work with in Minnesota or Dirk for most of his career.
Truth bombs
When Kobe couldn’t win with Malone Payton and shaq: they were past prime
When Duncan won with Stephen Jackson as his clear number 2: he played with the admiral Manu and Parker.
Forgot Robinson was a hall of famer too.
That's 5 hall of famer teammates and coach throughout his career but "Duncan won more with far less"
Meanwhile, Dirk's and Garnett's best teammates were Jason Terry and Wally Szczerbiak, respectively
Robinson was on his last legs in 2003, Parker was a sop re and Ginobili was an inconsistent rookie
Speedy Clacton was great though
But yeah for the next 3 les he had help
Duncan: 5 rings, 3 FMVPs, 2 MVPs
Corpsey Bryant: 5 rings, 2 FMVPs, 1 MVP
Let us proceed
Kobe couldn’t win with shaq and rodman
And the thing about Tim unlike all of these clowns today is his unbelievably unselfish nature.. His incredible skills as a leader helped his teammates become All-Stars and ultimately Hall of Fame players themselves. He helped them flourish. He never complained about them scoring points. That he wanted to be the man all the time. He didn’t care. Winning five championships was not just about how dominant a player Tim Duncan was. He wanted the team to succeed above all else.
It’s amazing that the Spurs won the championship in 2014. Jesus Christ that Dallas series was a ing nailbiter. I seriously thought at one point it was going to be a first round exit for us.
Robinson Best season with Tim Duncan was 1999. And he was very effective, an all-star level player but not the dominant MVP player of his prime. After that he was basically an old man on his last legs. Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker became All-Star teammates in large part due to Tim Duncan‘s amazing unselfishness as a leader.
Wow, Kirby had a lineup the same season of 2015-16!!!!!
All Star Roy Hibbert
All Star D'Angelo Russell
All Star Julius Randle
DPOY Metta Puss Artest
6th Man of year Lou Williams
Finished 17-65 with 5 All stars on his team.
Duncan had the greatest balance I have ever seen when it came to winning. For example if Tim only needed to score 4 points to win a game then he would. If he had to score 30 are more to win then he would.
post hoc ergo propter hoc
Manu was 57th overall pick. Tony was 28th. Did neither Dirk nor KG ever have any higher draft picks with them?
pulling 5 rings and turning those picks into HOFers is the mark of a true GOAT. Meanwhile Kobe couldn't get it done with 5 HOFers. Payton, Malone, Shaq, Fisher and Jackson.. beat by a team with maybe no HOFers other than Larry Brown.
, even Kawhi was 16th overall.
Julius Randle, Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, D'Angelo Russell, all #2 overall picks. Let me know when one becomes a HOFer with 4 rings.
He also had an all star pilot and we know how that turned out.
Yep.. He had playoff games when Tony or Manu had it going real good, so he would dominate on D, grab like 20 rebounds and take maybe 10 shots.. Whatever was needed..
Kobe or Duncan
1. Nash
2. Kobe
3. Pippen
4. Dirk
5. Duncan
Blair gave us a nice spark. What the heck happened to that guy?
No ACLs, poor off-court decisions, and an inability to adjust his game.
