maybe he meant he can be 10% of tim

Further proof that numerical arguments can be very deceiving.
To me, Duncan was the guy that went out and got 35-20-15-5-3 in the really big game. He was willing to let his teammates steal away would-be stats otherwise.
It's stupid to compare players from different eras imo. The game is different as are rules and other things. One thing is for sure though, Tim would be a winner in any era.
Oh sure. If my aunt grew a penis - she'd be my uncle...
Tim played in an era with Shaq, Kobe, Lebron, Dirk et al and has 5 rings. Tim played in an era where big men could be assaulted in the paint at will without a call. Tim played against Joey Crawford AND David Stern and has 5 rings.
Let the unibrow (who is a great player) get 5 rings - then we can talk.
*edited to add - Tim played with BONNER and still has 5 rings.
You can tell from his comment how basic his logic is. Literally a teenager level take.
Loudmouth no count fool = Stephen Jackson. I respect Screamin A Smith way more than this . Just an agenda to be a head.
Yup, which is why I’d take Tim over him any day. He knows how to win. Also, you can count on him to actually
play.
I don’t think he was trying to disrespect Tim. I think he was saying if Davis reaches his potential he could be better than Tim. He is pretty much saying Tim is the gold standard
It's a diss brah.
By 10 times? Yeah... that's disrespect in it's hyperbolic nature.
Or he thinks like a kid...
I find him too unbearable to listen to, but if true that's nonsense. Like J_Paco said, Davis is a Robinson/Garnett hybrid. His stats, both advanced/counting, are off the charts, but his game doesn't lend itself to being an offensive hub for a championship team(s) the way Duncan's did in his era. Because of that and his inferior passing ability, he can't make his teammates better to nearly the same extent.
That's why Olajuwon and Duncan were better than Robinson and Garnett and why as much as I like Davis, I don't buy that he's the "Warriors Kryptonite", in the sense that he'd change the terms of engagement.
10 times better than one of the top all-time players... yea, that is a hot take to get attention.
But won't be....
Close. He's hyping it up for pop culture's sake; many of the audience are kids who don't have a fine appreciation for Duncan.
That’s exactly what it is.
He even explained why he said he COULD be better than Tim. The man didn’t say he is better than Tim. I agree with a lot of the folks takes that he has to help his team win more to be taken more seriously but Anthony Davis is a very skilled player and one of the best in the league at this time.
Their dialog on that video is kind of weak because they are acting like they don’t understand why he isn’t getting more acclaim than he has so far. They know it’s because the Pelicans have been a boarder line playoff team since he has been there. It’s not all his fault but besides Westbrook and his historical statistical season all the other MVP winners had winning teams.
Even Rachel Nichols who normally worships anything that idiot says was like "Chill..."
Agreed. Also both Olajuwon and Duncan had great post games and could play back to the basket which is something Davis can't do.
Sjax been smoking too much of that pseudoweed tbh
Tim could have been 10x better than Tim Duncan.
What's the point of talking about potential? It's just idle talk.
So 10x better = 50 rings, average 200pts a game, 30 finals MVPs, 20 RS MVPs, like what, 100 rebounds a game? 30 assists or better? 30 or 40 blocks a game? Shoot 700% from the FT line...
Good thing he didn't say 10x better than Tony. Erin would be in a lot of trouble.
He'd be better by this age -- Duncan was.
jax is a giant pos with 0 credibility only people liking him are Parker haters
This is the whole point. If I'm starting a team, I take Duncan or Olajuwon. These two were great on BOTH sides of that ball (something Davis isn't), and they were also GREAT low post players (another thing Davis isn't good at that Jackson neglected to mention). Tim or Hakeem could play in any area. Davis can too, but I don't think he'd be anywhere near as good if you put him in the 90s low post era with that mediocre post game of his.
Jackson's a ing idiot. I don't really want to even listen to him anymore if these are going to be his takes. Sometimes he pulls me back in because I really liked the guy in 2003, but with this crap he's talking, he may be crossing the line to where he's lost me completely no matter what he says from this point on.
