OMG John Stockton over Tim Duncan
bout dam time main stream media stepped up!
I was reading Joe Posnanski's very fine column on Tim Duncan in Sports Illustrated last month and came across a statement which jumped off the page and bit me on the nose. Concluding his homage to Duncan, Posnanski wrote, "He's one of the 10 best players in NBA history ... ''
"No bloody way," I screamed.
What am I missing here?
Off the top of my head I'd take Wilt Chamberlain (always No. 1, the guy averaged 50.4 points a game during the 1961-62 season), Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West and Bob Cousy ahead of Duncan. There's a quick 10 without as much as a three-second violation.
Nothing against Duncan, but you could also give me Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Julius Erving, Elgin Baylor, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone and Kevin McHale. Oh, and let's not forget Bob Pet , Moses Malone, John Stockton and Isiah Thomas.
Somehow, I've missed Duncan's greatness. Maybe it's because he played in San Antonio. Maybe it's the lack of flair in his game. Even his nickname is boring. Please, "The Big Fundamental?" Sounds like a guy you'd fit for a pocket protector.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201.../duncan.spurs/Tim Duncan is not going to fight about this. Even he admits it is absurd. He is a great player. He's just not one of the 10 greatest of all time.
OMG John Stockton over Tim Duncan
Karl "The Choking Pedo" Malone over Duncan?
nice ty 4 year old article where he ranks barkley ahead of Duncan
and bob cousy, who wasn't familiar with the rule that you are allowed to dribble with your left hand

As little as I like them Spurs I have to admit that Duncan is as safe a top 10 player of all-time as God is tbh.
at you guys getting trolled by Kool
4/10.
This guy is a ing idiot
This got looks like the bas offspring of Ron Santo and the fat kid "Chunk" from the Goonies.
Jesus, this ol' sport is so obsessed. I thought you were leaving Kool? There's nothing sadder than a kobe fan obsessed with a player that's not kobe, it's almost an oxymoron for you to be as obsessed with Tim Duncan as you are.
There are things about life that you accept which is death,taxes, and God being better than Duncan will always be constant.
Kobe is better than Timmy, but It's not be as much by what Kool thinks.
And if for some reason you believe Tim is greater than Kobe it isnt as far as Kobe haters would have you believe either.
I think it is pretty close with Kobe having teh greater career and post season success after 2008 before the last two years.
SO i thought Kobe had pulled away quite a bit but when you factor that last two seasons Duncan has made it close again.
I wont argue my case here since Kool is just trolling yall (though i know he believes this)
Duncan makes my top 10 because I never saw Wilt or Pe and tbh I missed most of Moses Prime as well ..
In some order:
1. MJ
2. Kareem
3. Kobe
4. Lebron
5. Bird
6. Isiah
7. Tim
8. Shaq
9. Hakeem
10. Moses
I dont do players prior to 1980 ... that 10th spot is tough with Moses, KG and Dirk all in consideration tbh
Dont see how anyone can argue Shaq>Tim Duncan unless you are just discussing primes, then I clearly give Shaq the edge even if his prime was shorter ...
Kobes is dripping from your mouth again tbh.
Ironic. 4 years ago it became 5 > 4.nice ty 4 year old article where he ranks barkley ahead of Duncan
and bob cousy, who wasn't familiar with the rule that you are allowed to dribble with your left hand
interesting. even 4 years ago he had LeBr0n > DuncanIronic. 4 years ago it became 5 > 4.
With his 12th rebound in tonight's game, Tim Duncan passed Hakeem Olajuwon for 12th on the all-time rebounds list. Additionally, Duncan is one of only five players in NBA history to be ranked in the top-20 on the all-time scoring, rebounding and blocks lists.
Tell that ass writer this...........
God has always been a superior player compared to Duncan. Duncan isn't even half the player that god is.
That list is outdated, how can Barkley be better than Duncan I agree you must pay respect to the greats from the past but Barkley is not top 10 anymore long gone are the 90s and Space Jam.
