He's playing for the minimum?KG took the MAXIMUM pay cut he could, idiot.
You guys gotta stop arguing with trolls or looking in other team forums.
Let them sulk in their jealousy. Let them be. Let them say Wally is better than Duncan, for all I care.
We all know who's better, and the fact that our team JUST PROVED IT TO EVERYONE is enough crow for them to eat.
Enjoy that our boys won another championship. Go out, celebrate, party... cause we'll have to wait a whole 'nother year to do it again.
Duncan>KG
KG simply doesn't know how to win, and that's why he's no champion..
He has to make the players around him better and he never has.. instead he goes for scoring n stats n ..
BTW, he's not a better blocker than Duncan.
The Spurs have a better team around Duncan, but look at these guys... Ginobili barely made it out of the draft, and parker out of the first round... Duncan made them what they are today and I really doubt KG would've done the same.
btw..
On that "YOUR A RE " comment... isn't it You're a RE ? RE ?
As much as I like KG , he has no post game and that is a must if you want to survive in the playoffs when the team is built around you. Fade away jumpers are simply not enough.
Get OUT !!! Your guards MAKE your PF's.
This should settle the debate:
Scoring: Tim is a much better post player than Kevin and is vertually ungaurdable one on one on the block or left wing and his bank shot is money. he can also consistently hit open jumpers. KG has a much better jumper than Tim but he relies too much on his fadaway turnaround jumper that he can't hit over defenders as tall or taller than him (he shot 31% against the Spurs this season).
Edge: Tim
Passing: KG averaged more than twice as many assists as Tim during the regular season. A lot of it is because of the offense of the two teams. Tim is excellent at passing out of double teams and KG is excellent and finding the cutter.
Edge: Tie
Rebounding: Because of his longer arms KG can easily get to any miss. While Tim is an excellent rebounder this category is no contest.
Edge: KG
Defense: Tim is a much better shot blocker than KG, his timing is much better and he averaged one whole block more than KG during the regular season. Tim is a much better team defender, he always comes out on the pick and roll and often times cleans up his peremeter defender's mistakes by coming over and swatting the oposing player's shot away. KG is better at playing the passing lanes due to his athleticism and is more mobile than Tim on defense.
Edge: Tim
Intangibles: Tim is much better in the clutch. He's hit a bunch of Game winners in his career and led the Spurs in their game 7 finals victory. KG has led his team past the 1st round only once (He faced Tim in 2 of his 1st round exits and was outplayed). KG has come up short in crunch time countless times. Tim has 3 rings to KG's 0.
Edge: Tim
Overall edge: Tim
Given a choice between the two, Tim is the one that every coach/GM would want. Simply because it is a lot easier to build a system around TD than KG.
Duncan is a better shotblocker and post defender, whereas KG is a better perimter defender, likes to roam the passing lanes .. both are good help defenders. But since the in Spurs' system the perimeter defenders funnel the playmakers towards the shot-blockers in the paint. KG's team hasn't been able to build a solid defensive system around him ... partly because KG's skills (quick feet, ability to shadow people on the perimeter) are not the ideal skills to build a defensive system around ... he is IMO a small forward trapped in a PF role
Similarly on the offensive end, Duncan is a better post player while KG has a better jumper and a good perimeter game. But the Spurs have the right system to utilize Duncan's skills. Duncan in the low post demands double teams against almost all the teams in the league (DET was an exception) .. and this opens up opportunities for our 3 point shooters .. Duncan also has more moves in the post ... defenders are kept off-balance most of the time, get into foul trouble etc ... the other offensive duty Duncan has is to execute the screen and roll ... which he's pretty good at
KG might be more athletic and equally talented, but his skills are not as suited, as Duncan's, to build a solid team around.
Oh my God!?! Why do you care what other people say?? Honestly..why?
Duncan has definitely had a better supporting cast than KG...but KG has had some damn good supporting casts in some years...
But that doesn't excuse KG's failure to make the post season this year in a league where over half the teams make the playoffs...
And don't compare KG to DRob either...Drob never missed the playoffs, in fact he never finished lower than second in the division...and he had some really bad teams in some years.
Stats are great but if they aren't backed by winning in the regular season then they don't mean much when you are talking about franchise players..
I am not saying Duncan and DRob are better than KG because they have rings...neither of them is good enough to win a le by themselves...in fact no player is...but make the playoffs? A truely great franchise player gets that done in the era of 16 playoff teams.
KG failing to make the playoffs this year is a huge blackmark on his career...and his team was talented this year, it was the same team that had the best record in the West last year with maybe one or 2 injuries..that's not a good enough excuse...I mean maybe they weren't good enough to be a le contender...but there is zero excuse for failing to make the playoffs...especially with as much experience as he has. It counts against him...and it should. He should make any team he is on a playoff team...
KG is a great player...but he's not a great franchise player IMO.
