Tim Duncan needs our vote!!!

[whottt]

OP, what's the Barkley hate?

He's just about biggest Tim Duncan fan there is...and he was aleady rating Duncan as the best PF of all time 6-7 years ago.


Beyond that...Charles Barkley was a flat out beast of a basketball player. I do think Duncan was better...but it's not that one sides. It's very close. And it's not a disgrace if Duncan loses out to Barkley. Barkley was damn good, and contrary to his TNT persona, he was all heart, and he was no clown when it came to wanting to win a championship.

He was 6'5 and he would open a can of personal whupsss on entire frontlines featuring players that each had 4-6 inches of height on him. He'd just wreck them, like he was 3 feet taller. He'd dunk on them, he'd out muscle them for rebounds, push them around, he was pretty awesome. And he was fast too.


Barkley was such an awesome player, that I'd say it's no stretch to say he was more talented than Duncan, but he couldn't carry a team like Duncan consistently, nor was he the leader Duncan is.


But if Duncan doesn't get my vote Barkley does...in a heartbeat.


IMO, the player most reminiscent of Barkley, is AI. They played with the same heart and at ude, and they overachieve and they are both funny as because they are so brutally honest....Barkley is definitely a superior player to AI though.




Side note: Charles Barkley was almost a Spur once upon a time.

I Voted for Barkley!

Because he kissed your ass ever?

[WalterBenitez]

going to vote!

NBA needs votes to understand that TIM DUNCAN is the greatest?

[Doctor J]

It's just a popularity contest. Don't worry.

[MoSpur]

I can't believe Duncan is that far behind. Tim Duncan is a lot better than Charles. I loved Charles though.

[Extra Stout]

It's just an internet poll people. If Internet polls meant anything, Ron Paul would be President.

Barkley's the best basketball player I've ever seen play in person, and I've seen just about every Spurs team over the last 18 years. People shouldn't make the mistake of thinking seven inches of height isn't the only reason Duncan's in the argument with Barkley.

right on!

[daslicer]

I think it would be better if they rephrased the poll and asked people who is their favorite PF of all time instead of best. Nobody should take it personal its a popularity contest.

[nkdlunch]

LMAO at Barkley being way ahead.

[O-Factor]

Even Barkley would vote for Duncan.

[Avitus1]

WTF? How is Duncan behind that much?

[nkdlunch]
