Not the next Jordan, more like the next Russell.

I think the best comparison is with Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I still have Kareem ahead of Tim, but the argument can certainly be made either way...especially with Tim threatening to pass him in career playoff blocks. If Tim actually wins 6 les, then I will move him past Kareem.

I have him ahead of Russell for sure...he's just way more skilled offensively. Put Duncan on those Celtics teams, and he'd win 11 les (or more).

I have him behind Jordan just because it's hard to put anyone ahead of Jordan - but honestly, if I had to build a team from scratch, I'd pick Duncan before I'd pick Jordan. Post players FTW.

Absolutely. Russell was the only black player on his first Celtics team. The best players were not on the NBA court. The damn Harlem Globe Trotters beat the Lakers back then. 9 to 12 teams... Jerry West could barely dribble left handed... Those times were lacking but young folks are told not to dis the old legends. Many of the guys on those courts could not take a step onto an NBA court today. Baylor, Robertson, Russell, Chamberlain, and there are more that could definitely play. But jeezz, some of those guys out there were just plain bad.

The comparisons are difficult though as we dont know what kind of training they would have had in each others day. But modern Duncan, on old Celtics... that would have been by far the greatest domination of all time. Jordan would have 2nd spot.
