Brady > Duncan

[Hoops Czar]

he had to win 2 rounds total to win the finals

didnt the league have like 8 teams then?

So, just like Brady who had to win two games.

you had to win 1 round to make the finals, 2 to win it

brady had to win 2 to make it to the superbowl, and had to earn the first round bye by having a strong regular season. not comparable

Tom Brady is a little cheating on the field and a diva bag off of it.

Tim Duncan is a legend and, by all accounts, one of the best leaders and teammates to play the game.

Don't ever put their names in the same sentence again.

Strong regular season? NE had to win the division and the AFC East has been arguably the worst divison in football the last decade +.

This. The AFCE is trash and has been trash for most of Brady's career.

If Duncan had played in the East, he would've gone to like 10 Finals and would probably be up there in the conversation of GOAT.

you have to be top 2 in the conference, not just be a division winner

Brady successfully defended his le in a sport where is much harder to repeat. Jim never did.

Brady is leading a 2 decade dynasty in a sport plagued by severe injuries and with a hard cap.

Brady is in Mount Olympus with other GOATs of their respective sports.

It's Brady, Jordan, Ali, Gretzky, Pele. It's offensive and downright disrespectful to even try to insert Jim in that conversation.

Cant compare a guy who plays only 50% of the game and is 1 of 22 starters to Tim Duncan.

Nah.

Brady was lucky to win the last 3. First the Seahawks passing on the goal line, then the Falcons quitting the game early, and now Gurley being injured and Kareem Hunt getting kicked off the Chiefs.

Don't watch a of a lot of NFL, but that was easily the worst game I've ever seen

3 championship wins being lucky, lol

Brady has won one more le, but LOST THREE more le chances. Duncan only lost once on the big stage, due to a three pointer where Jesus Shuttlesworth travelled.

GOAT list
MJ 6-0
TD 5-1
Brady 6-3

You can't lock yourself into an NBA championship. The super bowl, on the other hand, is a lot of luck

Quoting everyone on my side! Timmay > Tom. Anything else is fightin words... 😈

Uhhhh, we’re talking about a basketball player and a football player here.

Cheating is now The American Way of Life

If you're not getting ahead, in a big way, you're naively not cheating.

And Pres Trash is demonstrating, exemplifying that crimes, fraud, lying, misogyny, racism is "OK" and 90% of Repugs support him, and 40% of Americans approve of him.

Pats haven't won 6 Super Bowls by cheating, and there was, as usual, proof that Pats "deflated" balls was actually a political crime enforced by untaxed-$10B/year meat-grinder NFL defending its totally bull "clean" myth.

i found the cuck in this thread. “Misogyny”. I bet you’re one of those loser white knights who doesn’t know what pussy smells like and pander to every woman hoping one will value you. You take everything they say as the truth like the holy grail. The 40 year old virgin is cool compared to you.

Didn't Russell also coach and played at the same time.

[rascal]

8 team league with 90% white-American players, so I'd say a peg below that tier.

Didn't he play against the monster Chamberlain? Many black players were playing in the 1960's. you are thinking the 1940's.

[rascal]

It's my thought that the Spurs run is more impressive than Boston's, for the sheer fact that you only had to win two series to ring. Spurs have done that nine times with Duncan, and their streak of excellence with him spanned 19 years. They also have five other times when they won two series in their history.

But you aren't taking in account the strenght of the teams. The first two playoff rounds now are not against the top teams in the league. The spurs often played the 7th or 8th seed in the conference in the first round. Then a mid level team in the 2nd round so really two strong teams they had to get through in the conference finals and then the championship.

[FrostKing]

6-3 is more impressive than 6-0 tbh

why does losing in an earlier round get rewarded?

Why draw the line at winning the AFC? make qualifying for the playoffs as the new GOAT standard or better yet just total number of seasons played.


Player A: played 5 finals and won 5 times

Player B: played 8 finals and won 5 times


Which player is more likely to win #6 sooner? This is GOAT argument.

Patriots Franchise>Spurs Franchise

Patriots did everything possible to assemble a winning roster around Brady, year after year. The Spurs? Gave Duncan help for years, we had bigs like Nazr, Nesterovich, Elson, Oberto, Thomas etc. for like a decade.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Brady would be lucky to be a top 3 quarterback of all-time, let alone the Jordan of football. The NFL, much more than any other sport, is team-based success. Brady lost any claim to GOAT when Matt Cassell won 11 games, from the real GOAT's system, Belicheat's. People used to say "yeah, Peyton Manning blows Brady out of the water during the regular season... but Manning is trash in the playoffs and Brady is GOAT". Well, ladies and gentleman, those people know jack and parrot they hear online and on ESPN. Fact of the matter is, Manning and Brady have roughly the same QB rating during the playoffs, the difference is that one of them has Belicheat and the other doesn't. I don't even see Brady as being better than Steve Young.

Lol. So many things wrong with this post. First of all, Manning's arm was shot at 38 years old. Brady is going to be 42 next year and still throwing strikes, darts and bombs. Yes, Belichick is also the GOAT coach, and no they didn't cheat. You can argue that they "cheese" and exploit the system and rules to their full extent, but when they're changed they adapt like no other sports franchise has in the past or will in the future.

Comparing players from different eras is foolish. Comparing players from different sports is just stupid. Reviving stupid threads is unforgivable.
