In case you missed it: “Players were not allowed to vote for a teammate.”
Dan Feldman is a grump: http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/08/19/tim-duncan-wins-nba-teammate-award-despite-teammates-not-being-allowed-to-vote-for-him/
A lot of players outside San Antonio think Duncan is a good teammate. OK. That’s nice. Is that really worth celebrating, though?
They ought to rename it the Twyman-Stokes Hearsay Award.
Wonder who pissed in Feldman's Cheerios this morning?
Greatest basketball leader since Russell.
most Spurs fans for calling it Tony't team back in 09. We've never been appreciative enough of our Tim.
Deserved 2005 FMVP and should've won 2014's
Only Russell, Kareem and Wilt were better bigs.
Nelson is quite surprising
Wow! Timmy won by an unprecedented landslide. Nice to see him getting his props. The league seems to have woken up to the successful systems and values the Spurs have espoused for so many years now.
Congrats, Mr. Duncan!
Duncan won 2005. Parker won 2007.Deserved 2005 FMVP and should've won 2014's
Manu probably deserved 2005 as well as Duncan but Duncan is still their best player then in terms of offense and defense.
Yeah I agree, Manu was great that year
I really hate ranking Russell and Wilt. They were both amazing, but it was such a different league and such a different era that I find it hard to compare them to modern players, way to many what if statements imo. I do agree with Kareem though for sure, think he is the best big of all time.
Wilt transcended eras
Of all his memories of Wilt Chamberlain, the one that stood out for Larry Brown happened long after Chamberlain's professional career was over.On a summer day in the early 1980s at the Men's Gym on the UCLA campus, Chamberlain showed up to take part in one of the high-octane pickup games that the arena constantly attracted. Brown was the coach of the Bruins back then, and Chamberlain often drove to UCLA from his home in Bel Air, Calif.
"Magic Johnson used to run the games," Brown recalled Tuesday after hearing that Chamberlain, his friend, had died at the age of 63, "and he called a couple of chintzy fouls and a goaltending on Wilt.
"So Wilt said: 'There will be no more layups in this gym,' and he blocked every shot after that. That's the truth, I saw it. He didn't let one (of Johnson's) shots get to the rim."Chamberlain would have been in his mid-40s at the time, a decade removed from one of the greatest careers any basketball player ever produced. But the advancing years meant little to Chamberlain in terms of physical conditioning.
Into his 50s and his 60s, Chamberlain remained an incredible specimen -- a mountain of a man who was as coordinated and talented athletically as he was imposing physically.
The Cleveland Cavaliers called him in the early '80s and asked him if he'd still be interested in playing. Five or six years later, when Chamberlain was 50, the New Jersey Nets had the same idea.
Giant of a man who was graceful enough to run track and field. Never a physical specimen like him since.
They would both obviously be superstars in todays era. But how great is the question. They were phenomenal and played against who was put in front of them, but they were beating up on a bunch of unathletic white boys for the most part. I'm not saying they don't deserve to be in the top 10, as obviously they do. Its hard to compare accomplishments though with things being so different.
And Wilt was a Playoff choke artist.
I love Tim duncan more than anybody on here but unfortunately his personality And the tag that the media has put on him will always keep him from being called the goat big of alltime. That does matter. If he is able to tie kareem next year with 6 its going to be hard to argue against it. He will always be the goat power foward atleast
I'm sure a lot Timmy's FORMER team mates voted for him - there are a lot of them around even though quite a few are now retired. What's this Feldman's problem?
Kobe not in the top 12.
Is there a complete list? I'd like to know if he even got a single vote.Kobe not in the top 12.
And Dan Feldman is a complete tool for what he wrote. His entire premise is that Tim won despite his teammates not being allowed to vote for him, while ignoring the fact that it would be true of any winner of that award.
Tim ing Duncan
kobe Leonard had other plans. Smh.Deserved should've won 2013's
Timmy da GAWD.
As the panel of NBA legends nominated six players from each conference that would mean there are only 12 nominees. So unless some player had a write-in name, this would be the complete list.
Agree about Feldman.
