Tim Duncan comparable for Michael Jordan?

[MONTENEGRINO]

Jordan's Bulls don't get blown out by 30 in a playoff game. Ever.

You guys are looking at it all wrong.

This is how the order goes.

I understand the comparison in this thread.

IMO, a better comparison in terms of guard to forward/center, would be Magic and Duncan.

Both came into the league and immediately started winning les. They both always though their careers put the teams interests first and foremost and cared about winning more than anything. They both are more than capable of taking over games when needed to, but choose to always get their teammates involved early in the game to keep defenses more honest and get their teammates confidence up early in the game so that they can be more reliable late in games as well.

Magic was the ultimate team player at guard, and Duncan is the ultimate team player at forward/center.

all of you idiots that took Galileo's posts seriously, fail.

[Galileo]

Bulls 1993 w/ jordan = 57 wins

Bulls 1994 w/out jordan = 55 wins

there you have it.

jordan is worth two wins to your team per season.

No wonder Bowie was drafted before jordan.

This sonnet compares the speaker's lover to a number of other beauties--and never in the lover's favor. Her eyes are "nothing like the sun," her lips are less red than coral; compared to white snow, her breasts are dun-colored, and her hairs are like black wires on her head. In the second quatrain, the speaker says he has seen roses separated by color ("damasked") into red and white, but he sees no such roses in his mistress's cheeks; and he says the breath that "reeks" from his mistress is less delightful than perfume. In the third quatrain, he admits that, though he loves her voice, music "hath a far more pleasing sound," and that, though he has never seen a goddess, his mistress--unlike goddesses--walks on the ground. In the couplet, however, the speaker declares that, "by heav'n," he thinks his love as rare and valuable "As any she belied with false compare"--that is, any love in which false comparisons were invoked to describe the loved one's beauty.

Spurs 1997 w/out Duncan = 20 wins

Spurs 1998 w/ Duncan = 56 wins

there you have it.

Duncan is worth 36 wins to your team per season

36 > 2

Duncan > jordan

Duncan has a couple years where its debateable if he's even the best player on his team,

By all means what years were those and how much crack would someone have to smoke to come to that conclusion???

[bobbyjoe]

2007-2008...This is the one year the argument can be made...No crack needed, whatsoever

It can't be made this year either and it's not even close. Nobody on the Spurs does more on both ends than Tim Duncan, and nobody is more critical to their success.

[sickdsm]

I've been here long enough to see you fools debateing about this. Obviously this year is one of them.


You debateing about it just furthers my point.

[Brutalis]

Lmao I wasn't 'dissing americans'

Fact is MJ is overrated, most of us are too ignorant over being in that era to take a step back and see that simple fact.

[freemeat]

if you were doing a 1st team all-time, i think it would be:

PG - Magic
SG - Michael
SF - Larry
PF - Tim
C - Wilt

I think that would put them in the same league and conversation.

Period.

You win the BK Breakfast Burrito Thing -- or whatever the it is.
