    Boozer should be ahead of Anthony and Bosh

    Dude deserves it.

    And the league really lacks some good centers. Okafor needs to emerge as the true superstar he is capable of.

    The only reason Duncan has gotten those awards is because he's a squeaky clean player with a flawless image and Stern wants to get away from the thug image that comes to mind when the casual fan thinks of the NBA.

    Dampier > Duncan.

    How about Diop > Dampier so that must mean that Diop >>>>> Duncan.

    my point is that TP is up to something big during this postseason... he played something like 77 games and got some rest at the very end of the regular season, he didn't play the World Championship last summer.
    Seing Manu is becoming our new Beno, he knows he has to step up, he is 25, his time has come...

    If you give All-NBA selections any real historical significance, Tim Duncan is placing himself (again) in some pretty select company.

    This is Tim's 10th All-NBA selection. The only players in the history of the NBA and ABA who've made more All-League (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) teams than Tim (and those who are tied with Tim at 10) are:

    15 - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
    14 - Karl Malone
    13 - Shaquille O'Neal
    12 - Bob Cousy
    12 - Julius Erving
    12 - Hakeem Olajuwon
    12 - Dolph Schayes
    12 - Jerry West
    11 - Charles Barkley
    11 - John Havlicek
    11 - Michael Jordan
    11 - Bob Pet t
    11 - Oscar Robertson
    11 - Bill Russell
    11 - John Stockton

    It's also Timmy's 9th selection the First Team, which puts him even closer to very, very elite company. The only players with more First Team selections than Timmy are:

    11 - Karl Malone
    10 - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
    10 - Bob Cousy
    10 - Jerry West
    10 - Michael Jordan
    10 - Bob Pet t
    10 - Elgin Baylor
    that tim duncan dude, wat n team does he play for

    my guards for the Third All NBA team would be Deron and Tony
    Boozer has to replace Amare in the First All NBA Team

    so they are rounding duncans scoring from 19.98 to 20 i see, everyone is doing that.....if you look at his total points, for the year, its 1599, out of 80 games played....to be 20 exactly, he would have to score 1600...do the math, 1600/80=20 nice round numbers...i thought they didn't round up on guys stats.....i remember when the season ended, i wanted to see if he finished with 20, as i know there is not a big difference between 19.9 and 20, but for the 20/10 threshold there is...and i saw 80 games play, X 20.0 and got 1600...so it took 5 minutes to find his total points and i was like dam when i saw 1599...its like when you need a 70 to pass a test and you get 69...my rooomate and i always have this discussion around fantasy sports, when he has a guy on his team, he always rounds up, so found it interesting duncan is getting the free pass here.

    I'm being a little hard on Timmy, I admit it. To give him his fair due, he is definitely one of the top 60 players in the NBA today. If I had to choose between him and Roy Tarpley, I'd give the slight edge to Duncan. Of course, Tarpley is 41 years old. It's a tossup for sure, but Duncan gets the slight edge today. Of course, in his prime, Roy would've destroyed Timmy.


    Except that Tarpley was a big time druggie on and off the court.

    That's pretty damn incredible. It's very possible that Duncan will be at the top of that list.... and given the amount of Hall-of-Fame quality forwards he's played against in his career, it's even more amazing.

    Well he IS boring. Good job Amare on being more colorful. You're just doing what you're supposed to do, which is have more personality than Tim Duncan.

    That commercial where Duncan gets pulled over by the cop and freezes him with a stare if funny, but the humor is a fluke.

    I haven't seen that commercial - which one is it????

    I agree, he's been the best player on the Spurs in the last 10 years, but just barely, slightly better than D-Rob or Sean Elliott.

    Tim's tied at 9 First Team All-League selections with a bunch of nobodys and who-dats, though: Oscar Robertson, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson

    I agree.

    And whoever heard of Michael Jordan? Sounds like a common street name to me.

    I will admit that relying on the sheer number of All-NBA selections is a bit skewed, since the league didn't recognize a Third Team All-NBA until 1988-89, meaning that a lot of the older players had to make one of the first two teams in order to get an All-NBA selection.

    It doesn't matter with Tim, though, because he's never made the Third Team. If you somewhat arbitrarily eliminate Third Team selections -- if you keep it Old School like that -- then Shaq and Barkley are tied with Duncan with 10 All-NBA selections and Olajuwon and Stockton fall behind Duncan with 9 and 8 selections, respectively.

    Yep. I'm sure you remember Diop absolutely PWNING Duncan in overtime of Game 7 last year. Absolutely Diop > Duncan.

    Amare is nothing more but a pushup machine w/out Nash.

    Guess you didn't watch him when he played with Marbury. He was rookie of the year and scored well.

    Very true....although I think its safe to say Amare's improvement as a player has been benefited by Nash's presence.
