Was Duncan really that much better than Robinson?

Duncan with "better cir stances" thing is there would be no cir stances if the stars didnt align and Duncan didnt fall into SA's lap.

There would be no san antonio today if there was no timmy after drob. You cant go with if's on debates because no one would win. I might not have watched drob in this prime but what I stated
Is all that matters

One of them kept his wife

Do you see Duncan ringing in the mid '90s with David's supporting cast?

No

No, he wasn't. David Robinson is arguably the most gifted physical specimen the NBA has ever seen. Basically a 7'1" Lebron. David really did have GOAT potential coming out of college, but his Naval commitments took two years from his prime.

But Duncan's basketball IQ and mental for ude was much higher (which I find puzzling considering David scored like 1320 on his SATs, was a math wiz, and a military man), qualities that prove to be much more important in the post-season than regular season.

Also could be David just had ty teammates. I would love to rewatch David's post-season "chokejobs" and see if they were a result of him being "soft" or if the lack of a "Pippen" (Sean wasn't that great of a number two) and top role players on those Spurs were the actual culprit. I don't vividly remember the particulars of the 95 WCF, but many who do say that Houston was triple-teaming David constantly while Bob Hill refused to double Hakeem.

I could see him getting at least one.

The people suggesting Duncan could've rang with any of David's casts either don't understand just how crappy those casts were or didn't see any of those games at all... SMDH at the you tube generation.

I don't care about the opinions of former players(obvious reasons), but I find it interesting that Robinson is such an afterthought with them, tbh..

I remember watching one of those NBA Old Timers shows(where former players sit around and talk with Ernie Johnson hosting), a few years ago, and Robinson's name was scoffed at when he received an honorable mention for the C position in the 90s, IIRC..

One series did him in. Fair or not, there is no recovering from it.

During the mid 90s a lot of players/coaches were mad when asked by reposrters if Robby was a choker

Cotton Fitzsimmons said that was ing BS and pretty much said Robby had ty teammates

As for 1995 this one is on Bob Hill tbh. .... and Hakeem had better teammates tbh ,,,,,

[TampaDude]

DRob was awesome, but Timmy is an all-time Top 5 NBA player.

[Thomas82]

I'm just glad we had both of them on our team.
