Why is Duncan not considered the BEST "Big Man" of all time?

[Diego20]

His stats were artificially deflated by Porker's ballhogging and selfishness.

Hakeem could though. I think TD at his best would edge him too.. I saw him play in his prime too, very quick and athletic.

Hakeem had the benefit of a deeper roster. David was being doubled constantly with no help and defending Hakeem solo on the other end.

David was a better athlete than Hakeem. How many seven-footers could run like a PG? Other than David, none.

Yes, even Duncan admits that David beat him one on one.

Hakeem got to play against David or Rodman. David got to play against the Houston Rockets.

David had his faults, but he destroyed one-on-one coverage. Unfortunately, his teams provided no real threat outside him.

This.

Hakeem did have a good roster of shooters, still he burned whoever they put on him. I agree with David being doubled constantly in that series but Hakeem was on another level those whole playoffs and you know it. I still can't believe this footwork in some of those games.

I know David was the best athlete at Center, does that equate to the best player? Athleticism alone was enough for David, he never had the killer instinct or worked on his game like Tim did though (Never had that extra push to become the best). I love David but he lacked in some areas as far as the mental game went, got by on his pure talent most of the time.

David turned the reigns over to Tim early on, why do you think? He saw how good he was. He said in practice Tim Beat him his rookie year and he was hard to stop one on one, fact.

Hakeem had the benefit of the other gear because David didn't. Supporting cast.

I recall both Timmy and Dave acknowledging Dave was the better player, even in practice. Robinson kicked his butt. I have this in DVR somewhere...

Definitely includes Robinson. Not even up for debate.

I obviously knew that it included Robinson because of your last post. I just want to see the guys you leave off for Robinson. Do you have a list? If you have never made one, you might be leaving people off you didn't think about.
