Tim Duncan is 33 and still the best PF in the NBA

[TheSpursFNRule]

I just find it funny because yes he has slowed down and yes he isn't the Timmy of old, BUT he is still the most effective, productive and efficient PF in the league. Gasol is the only one who really creeps up and gives him a challenge. for that position Don't even bother saying KG does...

Dirk says stfu

Dirk also says I have an owie on my elbow... whaaaaaaa!!!!

Its easy to get good numbers when playing on a scrub team. Z-Bo, David Lee, Bosh, Jamison, all are experiencing the same thing right now.

Those teams have losing records.

Tim Duncan is a center. So no.

[djohn2oo8]

Dirk is the best

LOL at mavfans and lakerfans

[JamStone]

Dirk is currently the best power forward in the NBA.

Tim Duncan is one of the two best centers in the league.

[FkLA]

Enough with this center/pf , Duncan is listed as a PF whether he plays like one or not is irrelevant...especially when the player he's being compared to here plays like a ing guard.

Also lol @ re ed Mavs fans that think Tim isnt worthy of being in the discussion...20,11,2 and actually makes an impact on both sides of the ball unlike yalls boy Dirk. Like Ive always said give me Tim and his walker over Dirk even right now.

[dirk4mvp]

Yeah well you also think Manu > Dirk, so your opinion will be taken with a grain of salt.

Duncan:
20 PPG, 11 RPG, 3.3 APG, 2.1 BPG, .6 SPG

Dirk:
26 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 2.7 APG, 1.4 BPG, 1.1 SPG

So let's see: Duncan trails by 6 PPG, gets 3 boards per game, more assists, and blocks better while getting slightly fewer steals. In five fewer minutes per game. And has more of a defensive impact.

And despite the intangibles favoring Duncan, Mavs fans think it's clearly Dirk? Hmmm.

Don't forget, Nowitzki plays roughly 6-7 more mpg and attempts roughly 5-6 more fg's per game. Duncan is easily the more efficient and better all around player of the two.

I agree with FkLa on this PF or C nonsense. The reality is Gasol, like Duncan, is in between positions and Nowitzki, the guy plays like an SF. Even if you want to call Duncan a C, he still trumps the overrated Howard. People acted as if Howard had passed Duncan on the basis of roughly half a season (when Duncan was playing hurt), but other than that, he's never played consistently at a higher level than Duncan.

Top five players (in no particular order) this season: James, Duncan, Anthony, Bryant, Nash/Nowitzki.

Dirk's beasting right now, but Timmy's surprising the outta me this year, too...atleast thus far.

It's Dirk's fault he's more durable?

[Cry Havoc]

It's Dirk's fault he's more durable?

Is it Duncan's fault Dirk needs those extra minutes to be even close to as effective?

[dirk4mvp]

So it is Dirk's fault he's more durable. A little bit of both of their fault that Dirk is a better player tho.

Dirk destroyed Duncan in the OT meeting earlier this year... Spurs/Mavs players played even that game, the only difference was Dirk Nowitzki outplaying Duncan in OT, as he is expected to since he's the superior player.
