[DMC]

ha, ha,,,This time I caught ya, ya turdhound, you.

I was responding to your that you edited.

[Giuseppe]

I was responding to your that you edited.

Because you hadn't edited that Kobe materiel yet.

Jesus Christ, you can be wrong once in a while, D.

[Isitjustme?]

I love this guy. Its amazing his patent nonsense still works, but it does.

[DMC]

Because you hadn't edited that Kobe materiel yet.

Jesus Christ, you can be wrong once in a while, D.

I cannot be wrong

It's my religion

[Nathan89]

son you're wrong

at age 34, Karl Malone put up 10.3 rebounds per game. check your facts
http://www.basketball-reference.com/...malonka01.html

Oh I was looking at his stats at age 33, I am so sorry. Now that I look at it he averaged 9.9rpg at 33 and 9.8rpg at 32.

Thanks for catching my mistake it really solidified your argument.

[DMC]

How many rings did Malone win again? I lost count.

Malone could actually raise his stats, Duncan's steadily decline.

lol ignorant Spur with the typical ring argument. according to your idiotic logic .... Horry > Duncan

2 NBA MVP awards and 3 Finals MVP awards disagree...

Oh, and so does Bill Simmons and just about everyone else who knows anything about the game. Stick to watching Turasi. It suits you.

Malone: Inability to get his team to the ring as the leader

Duncan: Got his team to 4 rings as the leader

ah ok so another brilliant logic of "I believe everything ESPN tells me to"

Duncan is far from the best ever, far

[BlackSwordsMan]

You're right hes only the best PF ever.

[BlackSwordsMan]

sons chris flop3 will never be known as more than a top 15 PG stop trying to leech on us homely classy spur fans with your hatred

[Nathan89]

That tends to happen when your minutes decrease.

I still think it's funny how you got mad that I accidentally compared a 34yo Tim to a 33yo Malone. That should benefit your argument,right?

"I think we'll say the same about Duncan someday. Over the past 10 years, he's been overshadowed by Kobe and Shaq, LeBron and Wade, Nash and Kidd, Nowitzki and KG, even C-Webb and Iverson ... and yet, Tim Duncan was better than all of them.
Just wait, he'll have his Fugitive moment. It's coming. Maybe even next month"


May 11th, 2007 just before Duncan won his 4th ring.

I don't normally give much credence to ESPN writers, but Bill Simmons is a gem and know his .

Did you notice anyone missing? Yeah... Karl Malone. Why? He never overshadowed Tim Duncan.

[Nathan89]

Wannabe Spurs fan, why are you arguing with this pathetic troll?

This is the same dumb ass who relentlessly ripped the only positive thing going about the pathetic franchise he cheers for because his scoring average had dipped. Never mind the fact that he was less than a year removed from major knee surgery and carried that sorry ass team to where they had no business being: the playoffs.

As for Duncan: 14th in PER this season, 2nd among centers. Check the list, it's a who's who of the best players in the game. You don't get near the top if you're not one of them. And it doesn't even factor in defense, where Duncan is still an elite anchor.

I'm clearly a Spurs fan dip . Just because I can recognize that Dirk is currently the best player in the league and you can't doesn't mean I am not a Spurs fan.

[BRHornet45]

I still think it's funny how you got mad that I accidentally compared a 34yo Tim to a 33yo Malone. That should benefit your argument,right?

son of course it does because Malone owns Duncan at virtually every level and age.

at 33 years old ...

Malone - 27.4 PPG, 9.9 RPG, .550 FG%, 4.5 APG

Duncan - 17.9 PPG, 10.1 RPG, .518 FG%, 3.2 APG

[DMC]

Malone recently said he got giddy to play power forwards like Buck Williams and Maurice Lucas — even Charles Oakley.
"(They) were the guys that really got my juices going when I had to play them," Malone said.
But nobody garners Malone's respect like Duncan, who has quietly produced his own Hall-of-Fame career in the post.
"My all-time favorite right now is still Tim Duncan," Malone said while in Utah for his birthday and media interviews last month. "He just plays. He's old, but he's been playing like that now for 15 years."
Duncan isn't fancy, loud or exciting to watch, but the oft-brash and bruising Malone loved that you can always count on a double-double and a solid performance from the four-time NBA champion.




Sloan even once told USA Today that he might consider Duncan to be the top power forward ever, saying of the Spurs big man in 2007, "He is probably the best player to ever play the position the way he plays it."
The longtime Jazz coach, however, obviously has a soft spot in his heart for Malone, whom he praises highly because "he made himself a Hall-of-Fame player."
ESPN.com commissioned a panel of former players and NBA experts to end the debate once and for all. Though it's been five years since the results were published, the voting among the top spots remains consistent with more current discussion of Duncan being ranked first with Malone just a step behind at No. 2. The rest of the top fours included, in order: Barkley, McHale, Pet , Garnett, Hayes, Dave DeBusschere, Williams and Nowitzki.

From the horse's mouth

[DMX7]

Real Talk: Shut the UP.

[Joel Anthony]

The honorable thing would be to retire so the Spurs can rebuild. Duncan got bullied in the first round and shoved in his grave. He's finished.

[JJ Hickson]

He shouldn't come off the bench, he should retire. He is clearly a washed up stiff at this stage of his career. There is no point in him playing another season with a team that clearly isn't a contender. Continuing to play as a s of your former self just to collect pay checks is classless and pathetic. He needs to call it quits before he further damages his legacy.

[DMC]

For 20 million, he should play. I don't give a what any of you gots say, for 20 million you would suck Darko's at the opening ceremony of the Olympics in full HD.

[BRHornet45]

sons everything is all fine and dandy as long as the hate is targeted towards LeBron, Kobe, Wade, Durant, Dirk, Paul, Howard, etc., etc. ... but the moment anyone dares to even as much as question anything about Duncan's game, the fun is over and its time for everyone to put on their homer sunglasses and spew pure ignorance all the while ignoring the facts.

The dude hasn't been a legit star player in at least 5 years. He started going downhill at the age of 30 and this past season at age 34 was absolutely ing pathetic for a "star player". There is no reason to attack others for simply questioning if Duncan coming off of the bench would be a better option for the Spurs at this point, because well... it would be.

[JJ Hickson]

For 20 million, he should play. I don't give a what any of you gots say, for 20 million you would suck Darko's at the opening ceremony of the Olympics in full HD.

Just to be clear, are you saying that you would suck Darko's for 20 million?

[Nathan89]

son of course it does because Malone owns Duncan at virtually every level and age.

Duncan - 17.9 PPG, 10.1 RPG, .518 FG%, 3.2 APG

Son how can you not read? Let me break it down.

BR- compared top 3 pf all-time and you were trying to show how much better they were than him.

nate- I showed the truth that Duncan actually compares quite well with them. He didn't score as much as Malone but he only score 2 less points than Charles in less minutes. Tim also only averaged 1 less rbg than Malone did at 33yo(younger than 34...younger...younger) in 8 less mpg. Point is he compares closely to one or the other in almost every category and the difference is merely a result of less mpg(except bpg Tim is much better in that category in less mpg).

[DMC]

Just to be clear, are you saying that you would suck Darko's for 20 million?

And tongue his asshole.
