Duncan: The ONLY complete big man in NBA

[Galileo]

I wouldn't say Gasol's the 2nd best big man..I'd say he's the 3rd best ALL-AROUND big man, next to Tim and KG..

his impact is less than Duncan and Howard though, since he's a #2 option..he never sees double teams due to having Kobe on his team..he's still soft a lot of the time too..

IMO, I'd rank the best big men like this..

1- Duncan
2- Howard
3- KG
4- Dirk
5- Yao
6- Gasol

that's just me though..

Gasol is ahead of kobe this year in win shares and NBA efficiency.

One quick thought not I'm considering him as a big man but Boris Diaw is damn complete too : passing, rebounding, scoring, decent defender, some blocks and interceptions, team oriented.

To avoid stupid posts: I'm not comparing Diaw and Duncan.

To me Duncan, Olajuwon, and Russell (in no particular order) are the most complete big men in history of the NBA. Not only look at the stats, le, or awards. They are/were greatest off the court too, real class acts.
