Duncan.
Both absolutely carried their teams to les.
Dirk was amazing offensively, but Duncan had both sides on lockdown in 2003. He also didn't have a Jason Kidd to initiate the offense; he had like a sophmore Parker and rookie Ginobili.
who was better in the playoffs?
Duncan.

Duncan's near quad double leaves little else to discuss.
Is this a serious question?
22/20/10/8 in Finals Game 6. Two blocks short of something that's only been done a handful of times in NBA history, and he did it in a Finals-clinching game.
This isn't a serious question... is it?
yes it is
An incredibly stupid one..
Incredibly stupid..
2003 Duncan of course
Why are we having all these Mavs players vs. Spurs players discussions?
What's next? 11 Shawn Marion > 78 George Gervin? 11 Kidd > 05 Ginobili? 11 Terry > 07 Parker? 11 Barea > 08 Parker? 11 Chandler > 95 Robinson?
This is just getting beyond stupid.
2003 Tim Duncan

Welp... case closed there.
Obviously, this isn't a serious question. But, to remind Mavs fans who want to pretend Nowitzki's '11 is in the same class as Olajuwon's '94 and Duncan's '03, the difference between Nowitzki's run and theirs is, they had to be the Nowitzki, Chandler AND Kidd for their respective teams, all the while playing significantly more minutes than Nowitzki.
Flopzitzki is a 7ft jump shooter,there's a reason he'll never be in the same class as Duncan
And anyone ignorant enough to even pose the question should just FO![]()
This is not going to end well for mav trolls.
mavfan stirring upstairs pot...
spurfan for vehemently responding...
but in all seriousness... Duncan 03> Dirk 11
In fairness, Dirk was a seven foot jumper shooter mostly for the first half of his career when he was rightly labeled as soft when guys at least six inches shorter were able to guard him effectively. In the years since he's actually started using his size to attack the hoop. If you watched him in the playoffs he's still got that jumper in his arsenal but he was just as likely (if not more so) to put the ball on the floor and drive or to work from the post. He's more likely to be shooting an off balance fadeaway from 8 feet out instead of 18.
ETA: Duncan 03. Quite obvious.

Really?
I don't blame you though BUMP. You're experiencing that post-championship euphoria for the first time. It clouds the judgement quite a bit.
you must be new here
I must be.......
..............and compare that to Lechoke James.
Rick Carisle said dirk was only 11 players to go to 10 allstars/mvp of league and finals........he named every player except you guessed it-TD.......Tim get no respect.....at least we love him.
Dirk lead a bunch of clowns to a le...he had no Parker or Ginobili...Duncan had easier time and more help no doubt

Is it true that if you don't use it, you lose it ?
2nd year Tony and a rookie Manu is really bad ass!!![]()
