Who Would You Rather Have In Their Prime?

[texasqb2]

David Robinson was my favorite player growing up and I still think he might be a top 25 player of all-time, but Tim Duncan in his prime was in my opinion a top 5 player of all-time and may go down as one of the greatest with a few more rings.

I'll take that Timmy guy.

I love DR, but TD is the man.

paging whottt...........



BTW I say DRob...

[Gin N Juice]

Tim with Dave's athleticism.
Dave with Tim's desire to win.
Damn if they were one player he would be unstoppable.
# 51 Duuuuuuuncan Robinson. Oh got lost in thought!
I'd have to say Timmayyyy

Absolutely. For the excitement of the flying one-handed alley-oop I'll take Robinson every day of the week. For the excitement of the riverwalk parade, I'll take Duncan every day of the week.

By the way, the answer to the question in this thread for Spurs fans is: We had one and are currently enjoying the other.

Wow, how many people taking Duncan actually saw the Admiral play at his peak? Like 93-94: 29.8 ppg, 4.8 apg, 3.3 blocks/game, 1.7 steals/game, 10.7 rebounds/game (which was actually the lowest in his career to that point) including 3.0 offensive. And he could hit free throws

If DRob had the luxury of talent early on that Timmay has, you betcha he would have had more than two rings. His speed and skill redefined the position. It's too bad the stress of carrying the whole bloody team all those years messed up his back later in his career.

Love 'em both, but DRob will always be the man ... a uva player who is also the reason we still have a franchise here. He could have dumped SA after his comittment to the Navy was over, but he honored the commitment he made to the Spurs. No DRob in '89-90 = no record turnaround = no fans at the game = no Spurs. Tim learned a lot from DRob and honors him by the way he plays the game today.

DRob didn't get his guns till after his injury so Duncan.

dude you must be really young, DRob had the guns since Navy years. Big Dave was a 7 foot Micheal Jordan without the killer instict and support cast. But for me its a toss up, if you saw DRob from 89-95, he was really something special on both ends of the court, but usually burnt out by the playoffs from over use during the regular season. Duncan more of a fundamental game.
