    Lets be honest here, you clearly started watching in about 2005 if you actually believe this pile of you put here, it is embarrassing you have such little knowledge about Spurs history that you would even think to put Kawhi, Bowen, Manu, and Parker ahead of Gervin and to put Manu as an equal to DRob is
    Really?

    But Im an old I know more!!!

    IMO, the absolute ceiling for 70s/80s players, if everything went right:

    Dominique Wilkins = Demar DeRozan
    Charles Barkley = Kevin Love
    Kevin McHale = Jonas Valenciunas
    Mark Price = Jose Calderon
    George Gervin = Swaggy P
    Moses Malone = Andre Drummond
    Julius Erving = Rudy Gay
    Bill Walton = Roy Hibbert
    Wes Unseld = Greg Monroe
    Isiah Thomas = Tony Parker
    TRILL RIGHT HERE

    Maybe, but he didn't play in the 80s, so it's a moot point..
    Just putting you take in perspective.

    Manu is pretty safely ahead of Parker. There's really no argument for Parker outside of him giving you far more games and minutes than Manu. Manu is so much better on a per-minute basis though.

    Importance of players to a franchise

    Gervin>Robinson>Duncan

    Spurs don't EXIST without Gervin

    Spurs don't STAY in San Antonio without Robinson

    Spurs Aren't GREAT without Duncan


    So the first person on Earth who probably just scratched
    his balls till he died means more than the people who actually did something to improve this place?

    That's actually a tough one. I generally take forwards (or tall shooting guards) over PGs, but I generally prefer modern players over pre-1980 players. In this case, I think Gervin's game could hold up in today's game, and his body has the potential to be conditioned by today's standards. I give the nod to Gervin, arguably a top 5 all-time shooting guard in his prime.

    college is a given, tbh..

    I'd say it's a toss-up between NBA players of that era vs. modern day WNBA players IMO..

    Look at that Gervin mixtape I posted a few posts above..compare it to this:

    Russell was defensive-minded and a good passer, though..

    Blair is an underrated passer, but his defensive IQ is historically bad IMO..

    If I'm being generous and accepting that some of his traits could translate to today's game(ignoring his mostly White American compe ion, lack of opposing teams, ty FG% for a big man and stacked team), Russell would be Amir Johnson in today's game..

    We're doing hypothetical individual player comparisons. If Gervin was 25 years old today and lived a 21st century life with 21st century training, I have no reason to believe he wouldn't be equally as effective as he was in 1977 (which is to say, very).

    Admitting the margin of error in you assessments is the difference between Dirk and Bonner

    ^^ Damn, , just take the L..

    You quoted my post, left, returned an hour later and quoted the same post with a second reply..

    It's not a big deal, every person is en led to their own opinion..so, I can respect yours, although it's a stretch IMO..it's evident that you're very biased towards certain players, but that's cool, I appreciate your fanaticism for your team..not everybody can be objective.. , even I'm biased sometimes, I admit..

    This was exactly the point I tried to make earlier. When comparing players of different eras you have to normalize for context.

    I figure you'd stop but you didn't tbh. Just not sure how you can trust any of you player assessment if the margin of error is so large.

    Kwahi is the reason why the Spurs are having the deep runs these past 3 years. We're first or second round fodder without Kwahi. That's how important the SF position has become in this era. Just ask Golden State & the Clippers.

    It would been interesting to see how the 2008-10 Spurs would've looked with Leonard against them Lakers. If you add Danny Green into the mix, we beat them pretty easily.
    Thats not exactly true. Some of the credit goes to Green, and Splitter and Duncan not playing like he was 50 like he did against the Griz in the 11 postseason. Our defense went from average to elite in the span of a season and has stayed that way for the 3rd straight season.
