Shawn says Duncan not one of the greatest "big man"

[Chinook]

Remember, Shaq gave TD his nickname, "The Big Fundamental."

(It wasn't meant as a compliment.)

You mean "The PF Fundamental"

The non-big fundamental.

Obviously, as has been said, this is O'Neal's usual jealous/bitter nonsense.

But as I've always said, I've never understood why so many act as if Duncan had to be either the greatest power forward of all time or one of the greatest centers of all time. In reality, he was both.

Who cares if he was always more of a center, who just so happened to primarily play power forward for his first ten seasons? He still played it and played it better than anyone ever.

Shaq once again showing his jealous side tbh. Said Duncan was a "power forward" even though the best ever in his eyes..Shaq says the PF position shouldn't fall under "big men".

This is why I've always felt when people say Duncan is the greatest PF is a cop out. He's one of the best players ever and the best of his generation. I knew this would happen tbh Shaq can't match Duncan accolades and can't stomach the fact and admit Duncan was the better player. Insecurity at its finest

Shaq is right. Jim is just a PF. No need in changing the narrative now... you all went to court over that "greatest power forward" bull . Also, Shaq owns Jim head to head and defended his le twice.

Cool story bro. Your life sucks so bad you go at Duncan's any chance you get

[SAGirl]

Shaq has always been super insecure about Duncan. I remember him once saying in his autobiography "Shaq talks back" way back in '01 he said something along these lines "I really hated it when Duncan got that championship in 99. It pissed me off that he had gotten a le before I did. I also used to get angry at Phil when he wouldn't let me guard Duncan for a full game. I would tell Phil that I'm a center and he's a center so I need to match up with him and show it to him that I can stop him. Phil then told me not to take the matchup personal and that I'm a center but Duncan is a Power Forward so there is no need to compare. After Phil told me that I felt much better"

The job of NBA coaches: to nurture star egos.

Yep, probably grew more and more when Tim GOT 5......

[Arcadian]

Nonsense. Tim is a PF/C, the perfect mold for a "big man."

This is just what Shaq tells himself to resolve his own cognitive dissonance. He knows Tim had the better career, so he "can't" be in the same category...

Nice, I just watched that whole video. Tim was already the best player on earth in his second year. Lakers Swept to close down the Forum

Shaq is re ed and he's obviously not seeing the forest for the trees here.

If he dismisses Duncan as a "big man," then that basically means Shaq never beat a great counterpart bigman en-route to a le. No. A far past his prime David Robinson doesn't count.

Let's see, without Duncan, the opposing "true" big men Shaq beat in his le runs:

- Sabonis with no knees
- Vlade Divac
- Rik Smits
- Dikembe Mutombo
- Old Luc Longley
- Todd McCulloch
- Desagana diop
- Erick Dampier

[Spurtacular]

Wow, Shaq went full re .

Lamarcus must restore the status of the power forward position this season!

[SPURt]

A Shaq also said Tim is not a top five player putting AI and Dr. J ahead of Tim lol

If the point of sport is to win Tim and Bill Russell were the best at it.
