Actually waly.mg it's 3 for Duncan and 2 for David.

It really depends at what you mean by best. If you are referring to best basketball player, then I think it has to be Tim. If you are referring to best Spur, then it has to be David because of his overall status with the Spurs and what he did for them and such. All in all, I think Gervin ranks below those 2 anyways.

Robinson best player/citizen--but close in all around talent.
Gervin most exciting

I hate to make these comparisons because each has meant so much to the franchise. Choosing one over the other seems disloyal.

How many Spurs' PG have made even one all star team?

Off the court? David, by a mile. He's saved the franchise twice, once by taking a new contract at a fixed salary when his had been a floating computation of the top couple of salaries, leaguewide, and another time by talking to Tim when he was being courted by Orlando. Basketball did always seem like a hobby to him, though, albeit one that pays very well, and allowed him to set up the Carver Academy.

exactly.
I'm real late, exstatic said just what I was gonna.

Zarko was better than Lloyd. So was Walter Berry.

David Robinson

As much as it pains me to say it, Duncan is the better overall basketball player. Robinson was by far the better athlete in his prime, but Duncan is well, the big fundamental, and seems to take and make the big shots. I'm not so sure Robinson had that desire to be a leader, at least a vocal one.

Robinson

The answer is and should always be Duncan. Robinson was a great player but he was on plenty of really good SA teams that won a lot of games and were expecting to do something in the playoffs and they never even got to the finals. It is not like he had to deal with MJ and the Bulls every year like Ewing and the Knicks did. Great player but will never be viewed in Tim's class because without Tim he never would have won a thing.

That's one way of looking at it. On the other hand, dont you think Robinson is his prime could win championships if he had the supporting cast Duncan has? Im 100% sure that Robinson could win a championship with the help of manu ginobili, tony parker, and many experienced veterans such as horry and finley on the bench.

**Mavs_man_41** · 07-31-2006

^ personally i think it should be a tie.

I think he could have won a championship but 3 i can't see that.

**GoSpurs21** · 07-31-2006

its a toss up between Tim and David, I dont think Tim would have won any championships during Jordan hey day and with the line up David had,

But I gotta go with David, even though Tim's overall game is better than Big Dave, 50 was sooooo much funner to watch. Timmy's game is boring compared to David's.

**jman3000** · 07-31-2006

I haven't read the whole thread... but saying Sean Elliot being the 2nd best player on the Spurs during David's early run shouldnt be seen as a bad thing. He was an all star and kicked all sorts of ass as a younger player.

**duncan2k5** · 07-31-2006

timmy...dude is a silent assassin. the most underrated superstar in the NBA. people always attribute his success to having good players around him, to that i say: were they good before they came on the team? no one projected manu and tony to become all stars. they were groomed under duncan's greatness. its not as if they traded to get good players around him like miami heat did. i dont know if you guys understand what im tryin to say...

Isn't it nice to be able to have this argument over a HOF player and two shoo ins?
