Spurs: Does then"best PF of all time" even have a signature finals moment?

[DAF86]

Down double digits, 3rd quarter, game 7 of the 2005 finals. Duncan scores 12 points and gets the Spurs back in the game.

And misses 6 of 7 free throws in the 4th, including a game winning layup

You conviently left out how big Horry carried Duncan in the 4th quarter and overtime.

That wasn't game 7..

Duncan's problem in regards to "moments" is that he played in San Antonio, of course..based on his actual play, he's had plenty, the 2003 Finals was probably the greatest individual Finals of all-time outside of Wade and Jordan, but the Spurs aren't a draw, unless they're playing an opponent like the Heat..

Winning les in LA or Boston isn't really impressive, it has been done before..I give Dad Killer credit, for instance, as the Bulls haven't done anything without him..

The series was tied at 2, had Detroit won that game they would have had momentum and chances to close out twice.

A Finals moment with perspective from a game in which he finished with 17 (7-10), 12 boards, 3 blocks, and a win:

What is up with the insane level of insecurity with Laker fans on this board tbh?


Regardless of what you believe, Duncan is going to be universally considered the greatest PF of all time, and one of the greatest players of all time in general, because HE IS. Same with Kobe Bean. Nobody's going to care that a player missed a shot here or a FT there in their career, which both have done numerous times, just like very other great player in history.

Dwelling on this stuff is petty bull for the insecure & feeble-minded. It doesn't change anything, nor will it ever. Nobody outside of this tiny forum gives a about the immature, ridiculously-biased opinions here. Spend your time doing something productive, tbh.

Couldn't find Jim's signature finals moments could you?

3 Finals MVP, for 5 total rings?

Is there any other more meaningful signature moment?

All true, but Kobe's reputation is in the toilet based on the past few years, tbh..new-media hates him..

Lakker fans coming out of the woodwork momentarily before crawling back to their holes when they make a ty pick in the draft.
