Can be? He's already turning 26. By then Tim Duncan had(was on the verge) of winning his second le. Tired of hearing that this guy is Tim's equal when he can't lead his team to . I mean at least a conference finals for s sake.
Stephen Jackson said on The Jump yesterday that Anthony Davis can be 10 times better than Tim Duncan. I disagree with this 10000%!! I know I'm probably walking into a hornet's nest with this post, but I had to do it. Here's the video:

If it weren't for Tim, Stephen wouldn't have a ring. There's a bunch of teams Jackson didn't play for that he could talk about. Some reason he has to trash the one that got him a ring. What a self-important dude.
Idk.. Tim IS the reason I became a Spurs fan, and I think maybe, just maybe Davis IS already better than Tim. However, I’d still pick Tim. Maybe it’s just the homer and Tim fan in me or just the fact that Davis could only take his team to the first round AND could never stay healthy while Tim only missed a few games to injury and save for maybe 1 or 2 seasons (correct me if I’m wrong) always led his teams to at least the west semis.
Utterly laughable.
Stephen must have got held down and gang raped by the big 3 for the amount of bittnerness he holds towards the team. That denture having mf knows he doesn't believe that
I'm almost a 100% percent sure that Stephen Jackson is an idiot and Davis will never, ever have a run comparable to Timmy in 2003.
Davis is a hybrid skill wise of Robinson and Garnett, but he still can't match Timmy on the glass, in the low post (on offense) or as a team defender. Timmy is arguably the greatest team defender of all time (with Bill Russell).
So Davis will bring 50 championships to the Pelicans?
He doesn't have the right coaching, basketball smarts and discipline or the supporting cast to be better than Tim was. Though he does have what it takes he is that talented. I agree with other posters right now David Robinson is a better comparison, Timmy isn't he is one of the all-time great players. I would love to see Davis in the silver and black though, not sure how Spurs could get him here.
Stephen Jackson is in a lot of ways a really stupid guy - he also was never as good a player as he thought he was. Just look at the two or three rings he threw away due to his selfish ways. He can thank the Spurs for the many millions of dollars he made in the league. He was going nowhere in New Jersey.
These comments are a good way to show his stupidity.
Davis is already an injury waiting to happen. Davis is so bad ass he can elevate his team to the 8th seed. WOW!

IIRC, the Spurs lost in the first round once with a healthy Tim Duncan on the floor in 19 years in the tougher Western Conf. One year Pop held Duncan out of the POs due to a knee injury (2000).
I see nothing has changed. Stephen Jackson is still on the lower end of the IQ scale. Anthony Davis is good but, he has never led one of his teams to anything. Give me Tim Duncan every day of the week.
okay jax definitely needs to shut the up
tim carried multiple teams to championships and was always in the hunt.
Can be but will never be. End of story.
maybe with his finances, but the only certainty is that he is no better than Tim in playing basketball
I would have to agree with you on that.
Yes, and that didn't happen until Year 18.
I’m sure if Timmy said Lonnie Walker could be 10 times better than SJAX, he would post some tirade while walking in a parking lot. I understand him taking shots at TP, but Timmy is “one of his best friends”.
Um no, Duncan was a one man team in 00-01 and 01-02 and led the Spurs to 58 wins both times, and no one is going to tell me Davis' compe ion is more difficult when Duncan was going against Shaq, Rasheed, Webber, Garnett, Malone, and Nowitzki in the conference. I don't think Davis is very close to Robinson much less Duncan.
hmm what about anthony davis vs splitter....one has a ring one doesn't.....
Davis can't dominate and command a double team in the post every night like Duncan did.
Davis vs Bonner
One has two rings one doesn't
I currently can't even compare Davis to DRob. Dave routinely got mediocre Spurs teams 50+ wins.
Sjax has like many people today learned how to keep himself in the news by just saying crazy things- And look- I'm taking the bait...
Stephen Jackson is there to rag on the Spurs, and kiss players butts so he can stay credible. Some players might rely on Stephen go relay some inside information every now and then (letting out dirty laundry). For the time being it is best not to pay attention to him. I have never seen Anthony Davis carry a team in any meaningful games yet.
