Mike Monroe: Duncan is taken out by 'idiots'

[timmy21_4rings]

I can't believe dasunsfan is actually making sense..and im agreeing with him

Duncan rarely shoots outside, as evidenced above, with over 80% of his attempts being inside 10 feet.

He plays with his back to the basket

Go to move is the turn around jump hook

You will RARELY see him handling the ball

All signs of a center

Not to mention the guy freakin plays most of his minutes at center

Is Dirk really a power forward or a 7 foot guard?

also sounds like Kevin McHale, Horace Grant, and Charles Barkley (in the latter stages of his career).

I'm not sure of some of the criteria you guys are using: How many PFs handle the ball? Marc Jackson's entire offensive game was putting his back to the basket, was he a center?

Really, the position is defined by the spots on the floor that a player occupies. Often, with a center and a power forward - these are interchangeable. But make no mistake, when Elson/Oberto are playing alongside him, TD is much more of a 4 than a 5. And that happens enough that the Spurs should get to define his position, not a bunch of media guys - many of whom didn't even play in HS.

cant we start an online pe ion or something? to get him back at PF position.

dunno if the nba will change that though.

What does it matter? Call him what you want

Personally I call him a PF because he averages over 10 rebounds per game and guards the opposing teams power forward most of the time. He just plays the high post as opposed to the low post like Duncan. Either way, I really don't see what it matters, he's a basketball player above all.

Monroe should watch some spurs games and realize that Timmy is being playing the center spot for the last 2 seasons.
It's all good though,I reather have Duncan as Center tham Yao.

Dirk is what we call a Long 3.He can play in the perimeter and also can rebound.
But a SF not a PF, coze He has to play facing the rim to be effective
a PF shoud be a more physical and should be able to use his body in the low post.

This is a pointless debate. On teams with a big PF, or "twin towers", the 4 and 5 position are more or less the same. Duncan has always been listed as a PF, and his game is somewhere in between a traditional center and PF. What's crazy to me is to change his Allstar position now after so many years in the league.

if these idioits didn't know that 1.3billion would vote duncan out. then they truly are dumb asses.
