KG (almost same age as Duncan) dropped 28pts 18rbs tonight, Duncan couldn't do 1/2

[mingus]

KG's still very athletic & he has a great mid-range game. it's why he's been better than Duncan for the last 2 years. it's allowed him to play very effectively well into his 30's. every year before that though id' take Duncan.

[Proxy]

If you really wanna get into this lets look at the last 20 years or so and tell me where KG ranks

Hakeem
Shaq
Duncan
Robinson
Ewing
Barkley
Malone
Kobe
Jordan
Pippen

Currently..

Wade
Lebron

Maybe 20 was harsh but he is nowhere near an all time great list and will never breath the elite all time air Duncan breathe's..

WTF? This is weak . The majority of those players are MJ era. We are talking POST-MJ ERA.... this list is ing dumb.

Shaq, TD, Kobe, Dirk, KG, Nash... these are the immortals of the passing generation.

[mingus]

post-mj era:

1a: Shaq
1b: Duncan

2: Kobe (his passenger seat championships don't mean ).

3. KG
4. Nowitzki
5. Nash

everyone can say duncan was the overall superior player but no one can deny that KG has become a better than duncan currently. it's a sad fact.

[spurspokesman]

For most of his career, Duncan outweighed Garnett by at least 50 pounds. Garnett played a finesse game, and didn't spend every night getting beaten on by the biggest guy on the opposing team. It took a toll on Tim's knees. And when Tim played through some injuries, to help the team win, it took even more of a toll on his knees.

Duncan has just under 7,000 minutes in playoff games. Garnett has just under 4,000. That's A LOT more wear and tear.

Over the last several seasons, Garnett has had guys like Big Baby, Kendrick Perkins, Rasheed Wallace, and Leon Powe to help him out around the basket. And Paul Pierce and Ray Allen on the outside, to keep them from collapsing on him. If Duncan had more help over the years, he wouldn't have so much hard mileage.

Most of all... what's your ing point? There's no rule that says Boston can't take on one new fan. Go watch Garnett.

KG was playing when most of those players were still in the NBA dumb-ass.. And what about Wade and Lebron they started their careers in 03 when KG was in his prime.. They both already are ahead of him.. I am mainly talking about Duncan's career compared to KG and he unlike KG can be viewed on the all time lists where it does not have to be broken down to era's.. I said before maybe KG is top 50

maybe.. i would take Pippen over him in a heart-beat..

good god just when you think the guy that gets all hot and bothered watching sweaty men roll around can't top his other re ed posts, he does.

Oh please stop trolls

I can't take it anymore..

[LnGrrrR]

KG>Wade

[Greg Oden]

Oh please stop trolls

I can't take it anymore..

who's the one trolling here, you re ed got? I'm not the one claiming KG is in the same generation as several players who were drafted 10+ years before him.

[dbreiden83080]

who's the one trolling here, you re ed got

That would be you..

[MateoNeygro]

Lol KG is def one of the top 5-10 big men of this decade easily. Not close to Duncan in rings so I'd give a huge edge to Duncan. =

[Greg Oden]

That would be you..

great retort.

KG is part of the same generation as players drafted in the 80s

[MateoNeygro]

Duncan has way more minutes thus having way more wear and tear. Plus Duncan played more of a physical role in his prime. Garnett has always been better facing up than banging inside end of story. However, Garnett is def top 10-20 of the past decade.

Who gives a if they played in the league at the same time stupid . You think comparing a rookie KG to gramps Pippen is logical? NO. It isn't.

Hakeem, Admiral, Mailman, Chuck, Kemp, MJ, Miller, Stockton, Glove, Rodman, Pippen, Zo

these players are separated by era in which they were dominant

TD, Dirk, KG, Nash, Kobe, Truth, AI, Yao, T-Mac, Shaq, Kidd, C-Webb

KG is better than Malone and Chuck.... and this is by the same logic you use to put TD in the top 10.... dominant stats, and a ring.... with RING being the ultimate factor in putting him right behind Duncan in all-time PFs list.... so if you can argue that he's better than Dirk, Malone, and Chuck, then he is EASILY in the top 50. Stop embarrassing Spurs nation with your biased bull .

[spurs10]

Tim Duncan's career is about as excellent as you will find. Kevin Garnett would be the first person to tell you that.

[rmt]

Duncan's career speaks for itself. He was great from the beginning of his NBA career and went deep into the playoffs for a loooong time. KG - not so. It's no wonder that the mileage has caught up with him. He's 35 years old and should be getting help, not covering for Bonner and Blair. Wish TD had the kind of help KG's had in recent years - Perkins, Baby Davis, Shaq, J O'Neal instead of you-know-who. Give him a break.

[Hoops Czar]

And KG is where compared to Duncan in terms of legacy?

KG is like the 20th best of his generation..

Yes, because playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves with a bunch of dead heads for the better part of his career has a way of taking the starch out of anybody's legacy.

And many of them were well past their prime. Ewing better than Garnett.

[GrandeDavid]

Tim has played many more games with playoffs and Spurs don't go through Tim that much and that consistently anymore. Duncan is the greatest power forward ever and is immune to criticism.

KG is like the 20th best of his generation..

KG is basically a stand-still jump shooter and doesnt bang in the post like Duncan has for his whole career....

[Buddy Holly]

It's sad to see how much better KG right now then TD, pathetic almost. TD couldn't even pull out 1 20pt game in the playoffs while getting serious minutes, and don't talk about touches, when he gets the ball he gets bullied

Amazing what never getting out of the first round a majority of your career can do to your lifespan in the NBA.
