Yes TD!; and repeating once would be the icing on the cake. If not, it won't diminish his accomplishments, but it will open him up to criticism.
Does somebody smell something? Like bull ?

Anyone that would criticize him for something so stupid would find something equally ludicrous if he won the next four in a row.
Of course they would. But that's exactly my point, this gives them something legitimate in their minds. Members of the media will find their angle and latch on for criticism.
But since failure to repeat is not a legitimate criticism, a moron looking to be critical is going to find anything and think it's legitimate. It would be like someone saying Hakeem wasn't as great as Duncan because Duncan's undefeated in the Finals and he isn't. It's a fact, but it doesn't diminish what he accomplished.
Prety easy debate here.....
Timmy is the best ever. Period
Agreed. The morons will always find a way to justify their arguements.
For whatever reason the media and Joe Public don't seem to want to give Duncan and the Spurs their due.
I like what Rick Kamla said after we won this fourth le and the "Dynasty" arguement was in full gear. Kamla compared it to Bird's Celtics who won three but never repeated. They're considered a dynasty by the media so Kamla thought that ended the arguement. If Bird's three were a dynasty without repeating then Duncan's four have to be considered a dynasty too.

"While that Celtics' team was better than this Spurs' squad (I'd call Celtics in 5.5 games if they met in a virtual Finals), the best stretch for Bird's Celtics was three les in six years. So the Spurs got 'em in that respect in winning three outta five. Furthermore, Spurs/Duncan doubters love to point out the fact that the Spurs' dynasty lacks a repeat, but Bird's Celtics are considered one of the game's great dynasties and they never repeated, so what's up with that?
Don't worry, Spurs fans, because your team will win at least two more championships, and when they do, your team will get its due and take its place among the game's great dynasties. And we won't have to apply asterisks or make qualifying statements or any of that mumbo-jumbo I get paid to mumble. "
Comparing Duncan to Bird, would be similar to a Stephen Hawkin/Einstien comparision. Both are considered Geniuses. Isn't that enough?
But Einstein > Hawking, it's not even close. Einstein to Hawking comparison is more like Magic to Steve Smith.
It will be interesting to see how dominant Duncan is in a few years. If he is still going along at this clip, he might reach the top 5 players of all time.
I wouldn't go that far. Although Steve Smith was basketball Savvy when his knees held up. I believe Timmy has the highest b-ball IQ of any post player, and maybe of all time. I'm not sure if Bird would be higher. Maybe. He made some absolutely ridiculous plays. Was fundmentally sound. But I still think Tim has him on fundmentals.
Since Einstein has better speed, agility and hops, I don't think Hawking would even be able to score on him. Even dead, I think Einstein holds him scoreless.
Newton > Einstein
(waits for DaVinci reply)
Well, given Einstein proved Newton wrong (or corrected his theory of gravity), it should be safe to say Einstein > Newton.
And Da Vinci ..... the guy is too weird, more of an artist than a scientist than a physicist. Even his inventions were very art based.
WTF, you guys are weird^^
Einstein had an additional 250 more years of information to work with than Newton. Put him back in the 17th century without calculus and see how far he would have gotten.
TIM DUNCAN is top12 lookn in atm...
