Tim Duncan - Teammate of the Year

[thiste]

[...] from being called the goat big of alltime.

The greatest of all time big of all time. Or the GOAT BOAT?

Tim >Kareem at this point already

This screams ignorance or stupidity. Or both.

And Wilt was a Playoff choke artist.

^^^ This, never the leader Tim was but a great regular season and stats player. Russel I would say is not better than Tim overall either, on D surely he is and he anchored that D for years on end but on the offensive end Tim is miles ahead of Bill so I can't put him ahead of Tim either. Bill was a great player no doubt but the only guy I have above Tim as far as big men go would be Kareem and Hakeem might have an argument the way he dominated in his prime.

Everybody loves Timmy! BTW, Wilt, Kareem and Russell are not to be dismissed so easily in comparisons to Duncan. Respect.

Agreed. I would throw Hakeem in there as well personally.

Duncan is most excited to play alongside David West. And it's only August but he already worked out with Aldridge. .
Can't wait for the start of the 2015-16 season

On Aldridge -

"It's going to be a work in progress," he said, adding that he worked out with Aldridge when the former Blazer was in town recently. "There's a process. There's no way to answer that question right now. Obviously we've added talent, and that's wonderful, but we're going to have to work them in and have them figure out how to play with us, how for us to play with them, so it'll be a process. Pop's excited about it, I'm definitely excited about it, the guys coming in are, and it's great to be coming into a situation where we have a chance again."

On West -

"I'm excited about him, I'm excited to get to know him, because of that and other reasons," Duncan said. "People talk very highly of him, a lot of guys who've been teammates over the years with him have a lot of great things to say about him. Obviously talent-wise he's a great addition, he's a tough body, he's a veteran player who knows how to play the game, all those things, if we add him the right way, it's going to be an incredible plus for us."

Losing to Bill Russell's stacked Celts teams does not Wilt a playoff choker make. Funny how no one ever calls Jerry West a choker, he lost more Finals than he could count. The equivalent of 60s Wilt today would be Yao Ming with Anthony Davis' body control and athletic ability. Dude was insane, 30 years ahead of his time.

Yeah, Wilt was pretty darn good. I watched that 100 point game do entary a while ago and have come to appreciate him. He was a beast of a player.

I've also read recently (not sure if true), that he could still bench press more than Shaq's best at 60 years old. I also read a couple of NBA teams were interested in signing him in his mid to late 40s.

Kobe not in the top 12.

With Kobe out of it you'd think teammates were actually allowed to vote.
