Official Clutchfans Meltdown after Duncan is ranked better than hakeem on ESPN

[HarlemHeat37]

ESPN would receive death threats if they had rated Larry Bird ugly, potato-looking ass accurately, tbh..

When it pertains to pro sports, there are 2 players that White people would kill for: Larry Bird and Peyton Manning..I once had a middle-aged White man pull out a shotty to my head because I said Larry Bird was overrated, tbh, 100..

Bird gets hurt by his longevity. He had 9 seasons of elite play before injuries derailed his career. Someone like LeBron, who is only 31, has already put together more quality seasons.

I'll admit I didn't see Bird/Magic in their primes, so maybe that's why I underrate them, but I'd take Duncan/LeBron/Shaq over those 2 without much hesitation.

I don't understand why bird gets hurt with the longevity argument but not magic. He played the same number of seasons. I think magic is a little overrated tbh. I'd take Duncan over Magic in a fantasy draft any day of the week.

Yeah, 30 10 and 6 guys with unlimited range and ridiculous clutch abilities just fall out of the ing trees.

I really wish you'd go back to actual basketball takes instead of this edgy hipster agena-ridden bull you continually parrot these days. It was old 2 years ago.

Because there weren't several NBA players during Bird's time that spoke the truth about the media's White agenda

I didn't say he wasn't a great player, relax..like I said, White people freak out when you speak ill of Larry Bird..

Lot of questions. Not young enough to watch him play but how da does hakeem even miss the playoffs so many times in his prime tbh? like 6-7 times his whole career. ELITE players don't do that. Or you just ain't elite enough.

I just can't wrap my mind around the idea that 7 players, even if the greatest of all-time, have had better careers/"peaks" than Timothy Theodore Duncan. The list was invalidated a while ago when they placed Stephen Curry above Dwyane Wade and Isiah Thomas, but I just can't believe that LeBron James (at this point), Larry Bird, Magic Johnson or Bill Russell had superior careers.There is a common thread that ties three of those mean together and I believe that is the only reason they are held in "higher regard" than Duncan. Had Timmy actually been drafted by Boston and accomplished everything he has in San Antonio, then we would have him being placed in his prior context with Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar and Chamberlain (the only three players better than him, IMO).

He is a top 5 all-time great whether the idiots at ESPN realize it or not.

I guess stats > defense.

Russel, timmy and Hakeem all out

What? He made the playoffs 14 times in his first 15 seasons. He missed the playoffs 2 of his last years in Houston when he was 37+ years old and he started dealing with injuries, but I don't know why anyone would focus on that rather than the rest of his career.

WTF, Wilt and Magic have been listed and no Lebron. no is LBJ over Magic and Wilt, I was mad when I thought he would be #5, LeBron in the top 3 is completely stupid, I am done with this list. In fact the only thing about it that I liked was the Center rankings.
