Where do you rank Duncan?

[Pelicans78]

Stats dont mean EVERYTHING only losers worry about stats alone if you guy buy stats then Malone, Barkley, Shaq David Robinson are better than Duncan ...
But when you watchthe games Duncan makes clutch plays those other guys shrink (especially Malone)

Kobe is better than Lebron or CP3 because when he plays them head 2 head his stats may not be as good but late in the games (OT vs. Hornets 4th Qtr vs Bron) he made the plays Lebron or CP3 couldnt and a national audience saw both games ...

Also Dwill beat cp3 AGAIN!!!!

Regular season statistical best players
PG Paul
SG Wade
SF Lebron
PF Dirk
C Yao

Playoffs and Big regular season games (head to head vs top teams)
PG Dwill (murders CP3 head2head better playoff record)
SG Kobe
SF Pierce
PF KG
C Duncan (or you can switch them ..)
Now i know KG and pierc e have only done it for 1 playoff recently but i give them respect for leading that team through 2 game 7's ...and 2 game 6's

This is dumbest post ever. D-Will never beats CP3. His team just executes better on the head-to-head matchups. D-Williams is 14-14 in the playoffs while CP3 is 7-5. Looks like CP3 has the better record. Take away Utah's record against the 8th seeded Warriors and he's just 10-13.

Dirk's numbers in the regular season aren't as good as Duncan. That's a fact.

Lebron played just as well as Pierce in that series last season. Plus, he's been to the Finals as well without 2 other HOFers.

Also, if Kobe was more efficient, the Lakers wouldn't need his scoring in the 4th. Besides he took 30 shots against the Hornets to win the game. Pretty sad. Kobe was irrelevant for 3 years without Shaq until last season. His basketball IQ isn't as high as Lebron's or CP3. His offensive arsenal is stacked, but he could be more effective.

You're a dumbass who has no clue about anything, especially basketball.

WTF?? Im done with this thread..................

[Pelicans78]

I rather have Deron over Paul as PG. Deron Williams is playing as good or better than Paul.

Duncan = most consistent superstar in history

It's just not true. CP3 has outplayed Williams the last two seasons. Better numbers and better record. Williams doesn't have the overall game to match CP3. Williams has alot of talent and is bigger than CP3, but he's not a basketball genius like CP3. Other than shooting, CP3 does everything better, including defense and rebounding. He even has a higher 3 point % than Williams. CP3 is the 2nd best perimeter player in the league behind Lebron. Numbers don't lie.

I think Kareem only shot under 50% once in his career. Most consistent is Kareem.

I rather have Deron solely on the fact that Deron is not a whiny little girl on the court. I would not want little immature pussies in my team.

Take a look at last years series vs. Spurs. CP3 meltdown was one of the factors Hornets lost. Deron would not have acted like that.

And Deron has been the best PG since the Allstar break.

Deron Williams
Kevin Durant

That's not true either. CP3 has put up better numbers since the break. Williams is scoring alot, but that's about it.

That game 6 was frustrating due to some of the calls in the 3rd quarter. He wasn't the only Hornet frustrated. Plus, the Hornets couldn't efficiently run their offense after both West (back) and Chandler (toe) were injured at the end of game 5. They lost their transition ability and the pick n roll became ineffective. The Spurs had Manu injured so its a wash, plus they executed better in Game 7. Utah would have never gotten to a game 7.

[slayermin]

Where is Bill Russell.....

He's number 12.

That's a pretty good list, but I would switch the order on a few of those.

on everything besides the last. He's easily 3rd, not sure about 2nd.

That would be Brigadier General, O-7.

[Mal]

Duncan as:
1. Best Power Foward ever
2. Best active player, for all career
3. 2nd Best Foward Ever
4. 5-6 in Best Player Ever.
5. In best starting Five Russell, Jordan, Magic, Bird, Duncan.

[WildcardManu]

russel is so overrated....

+1

[DAF86]

Pretty ing high.

My 2 cents:

1-Jordan
2-Russell
3-Kareem
4-Wilt
5-Magic

Duncan top 10

[Thomas82]

Our list had mostly the same people, so I'll just repost it for you.

My all-time top 10 list would be:

1. Wilt Chamberlain
2. Bill Russell
3. Michael Jordan
4. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
5. Magic Johnson
6. Tim Duncan
7. Larry Bird
8. Oscar Robertson
9. Julius Erving

[HarlemHeat37]

Tim's my favorite player, but there's no way he's ahead of Larry Bird, or Magic, or anybody else in that tier..

[Thomas82]

No way I would put LeBron over Larry Bird, Julius Erving, Dominique Wilkins, or Scottie Pippen.

Duncan as:
1. Best Power Foward ever
2. Best active player, for all career
3. 2nd Best Foward Ever
4. 5-6 in Best Player Ever.
5. In best starting Five Russell, Jordan, Magic, Bird, Duncan.

I would go out on a limb and call him the best forward ever. Not to take away anything from Larry Bird, but he did have 2 Kevin McHale and Robert Parrish with him, 2 more from the NBA's 50 greatest players list.
