Old Fundamental v New Fundamental

[dunkman]

Tim is the One-damental. He would have been cleaning up MVP trophies left & right against the sorry bigs in the league now. He went head-to-head against Karl Malone, Shaq, Garnett, Alonzo Mourning and Rasheed Wallace for crying out loud. Blake Griffith, Anthony Davis, Roy Hibbert, Pau Gasol, McGee ? Are you kidding me? Lol! Give Duncan 10 of his years back and he'd wipe the floor with those fools. What he's doing now at his age is just crazy.

I don't see much comparison to unibrow at all.

Gasol while not at the level of prime Duncan and prime Shaq, had a remarkable career.

I don't see how Anthony Davis is fundamental at all, he relies on jumpers to get his points a lot of times. Definitely needs work on a post game, but he is a defensive beast.

Agree. Can't compare Tim, Shaq, Garnett, Malone, Mourning, to new guys like Davis, Griffin, Hibbert, the compe ion level was so high in the paint those years.

He's built like Timmy but plays more like D Rob.

I don't know if it needs its own thread, but they do have a similar game and size. Of course, Tim is 37 and "The Brow" is 20 and did not stay for 4 years of college ball.
Clearly, Tim is the Man and remarkable at any age, but AD is eerily similar in demeanor and skill for such a young player.

Aside from that, they had the big fundamental pegged as the best case scenario for the unibrow, iirc. And Marcus Camby as worst case. Could've recalled it wrongly though,

Neither of these.

I'd like to have him on the Spurs too, but I just have a really hard time believing any big free agents are ever coming here. . .they pretty much never do. We're gonna have to tank and draft (probably for 2-3 years) after our big guys are gone in order to rebuild the team.

?? At 20, he's putting up numbers comparable to Tim as a rookie with 4 years of college under his belt. The comparisons are not unwarranted.

Blake Griffin was putting up similar stats too in scoring/rebounding. Doesn't mean they're similar players tbh. Duncan does a lot of stuff that doesn't show up in the stat sheets, so you can never really go purely on stats with him

Neither of these.

Have you seen them next to each other? Their build is similar.

The drob comparison stemmed from Davis' use of the jump shot, kind of like Drob did.

Ok similar, but Duncan has a slightly bigger frame and Davis looks a little longer. Drob was a freakish athlete.

Exactly.
