The worst troll here.
I'll still take Duncan. Sorry, Dirk.
I think a better question is how many games has Dirk taken over when it matters most? Meaning the playoffs. Then ask yourself how many games has Duncan taken over in the playoffs. Who cares how many games Dirk can take over in a regular season.
Well we all know Duncan was better in his prime than Dirk, so I guess were talking recent playoffs, no?
Dirk>Duncan
Duncan > Dirk > Randolph > Gasol > KG
So you are basing this off of last year?
guess youse forogt dat you cant see yo penus in dah showah cause you so fat.
Duncan and Dirk right now are a coin flip.
2009 Mavs vs Spurs
Duncan 19.8 pts 8 rebs 3.2 ast 0.6 stl 1.2 blk 52,3% 32.8 min
Nowitzki 19.2 pts 8.6 rebs 2.2 ast 1.0 stl 0.6 blk 49.3% 37.4 min
Dirk's team won. And Dirk put up those numbers with Popovich forcing the ball out of his hands and making him a facilitator. By contrast, in the game in Dallas earlier this year that Dallas won in OT, he made a conscious choice NOT to double Dirk. I guess it's pick your poison.
On the eternal question of whether Duncan is a PF or C ... WGAF what you or I think? If the team calls him a PF then he is a PF.
Was Magic Johnson classified as SF? No, he played at PG (except for that one NBA finals game he played at C). So, even though Pippen guarded him in the '91 Finals, nobody called Magic an SF. He and the Lakers said he played PG, and that was it.
Jamstone says that Duncan is a C because he is the main post-up threat. Again, this doesn't hold water. When Hakeem played with Samson he was the primary post-up threat but was called PF. Even when Duncan played with Robinson he was the primary post-up threat, I didn't see you claiming he was a C then. Michael Jordan played the same position that Shaq later played in Phil Jackson's triangle offense. Does that make MJ a C too, since he posted up more than anyone else on the Bulls? Pippen and Kobe played similar roles in the triangle too (facilitator and ball-handler), does that make them PGs?
You can't create an arbitrary rule using either size, playing style or role to assign a position to a player. There are just too many exceptions.
Duncan is a PF because that's what he and the Spurs call him.
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's +/- is 34.6 for on court/off court and Duncan's +/- is 3.4. I think I'll take Dirk now. Duncan is far from what he was a few years ago and proven by the spurs record this year.
guess you havent been watching the spurs this year. Duncan is playing as good as he's played in the last 5 years.
I agree about Duncan/Dirk being a coinflip. But if I had a choice, I'd still pick the defensive presence with double the block ratio of the other choice.
Dirk laughs at this thread
Duncan = PF
Dirk = 7 ft guard 2 different types of players playing 2 different positions.
4-1 baby 4-1
You gotta be pretty butthurt to actually choose a screen name that references a team you hate. Every time that guy posts he owns himself.
I'll easily take Dirk. He is playing some of his best basketball ever. Similar to his MVP year. Duncan looks like a shadow of his old game. So much easier to guard now with losing some of that speed. The on court/off court isn't totally consistent but that is quite a huge gap between Dirk and Duncan. I think that is significant in the comparison for who is more valuable to their teams.
I'll take Duncan.

Without question. I'd take Duncan over Dirk.
lmao
spur fans have been hating per for years until now it helps their argument.
According to that list, you'd want Chrissy Paul, Chris Bosh and Kevin Martin over Dirk, Kobe and Wade. You can argue Duncan > Dirk, but that list is hilarious.
