Tim sets the example

[GoSpurs21]

Oh Please... so tired of everyone making Tim Duncan better than he really is. Don't get me wrong... he's a good, solid player... but no superstar.
He has way too many subpar games where he can't even break the 20 point mark... he's a liabilty at the Free throw line... and never really puts the team on back and steps up in the playoffs. He's a good cornerstone for this team and has a great supporting cast that makes for a championship team... but he's no Jordan, Magic, Bird, Shaq or Kareem. They never had a subpar playoff game... that's why they were payed... that's why teams were built around them. You never saw Jordan have a subpar playoff game and have to get saved by his supporting cast. Let's just say Duncan is lucky to have Ginobli, Horry & Parker on his side.

and just when you think you have heard it all...some clown comes out and just spews all kinds of pathetic rhetoric

Hey, let's not forget Duncan "responded" by sticking his tail betwixed his legs in the last two of regulation game 5

For any of those players, I could name a supporting crew that had to bail them out every now and then. That's the reason basketball is a team sport. No one player wins it alone, ever. Ask Kobe Bryant.

Hence the reason I didn't mention Kobe... he's a ballhog. Name one Finals game Tim Duncan scored 65 points... or one game where he shouldered the burden of his team... or better yet name one Finals game Jordan scored 14 or less points (like Duncan)... name one game any of the above mentioned did... and I'll give Duncan his superstar credit. Reason we didn't win Gold in the Olympics: Brown wanted Duncan to be the nucleus of the team... he's not and never will be... He's a good cornerstone. Not a Superstar... Don't get me wrong... I would pick him on my team... but wouldn't make him the Franchise... don't believe the hype. You put him on a ty team... you'll see there are no more rings.

You lost all credibility when you said Timmy wasn't a Superstar.

They guy won a freaking ring in '99 and then won another one 7 years later with an ENTIRELY different team. That my friend is the definition of a "cornerstone" player.

Name one Finals game Tim Duncan scored 65 points... or one game where he shouldered the burden of his team.

Game 6 2003 finals...two blocks short of a QUADRUPLE double.
Game 7 2005 finals...Duncan put the team on his back in the 3rd and carried them home.

Oh Im sorry....that's TWO.
