He's been a center for four years, shortbus.
How many Sequs do we need to make a 6'10'' guy?
Oh, sweet irony.
Really? He is listed as a Forward on NBA.com and has been picked as a Forward for each allstar game......... Stevie Wonder...
Perhaps you should re-word your question then, to "Is Duncan going to finish out his career listed as a Center?"
the c/pf debate is the most pointless and hackneyed basketball topic ever
How many drinks have you had?
He started his career as one; why not?
De kien es el TOOR
I've never heard the reasons why TD doesn't like to be referenced to as a center?
The greatest Power Forward to ever play the game hasn't been a PF for 4 years now? I guess that takes away the le.
Irregardless of what the geniuses here at Spurstalk think, Duncan is listed as a PF and will remain so the rest of his career.
The real question should be, "Is there really a difference between the PF and C position in the Spurs system?"
The short answer, no.
David Robinson jumped center when Timmy was a rookie.
Noelia una prosti de Trelew, no tiene pagina en internet. Necesitas el mail para conseguir fotos como estas jaja.
He's listed as a Center on spurs.com.
There is no such word as 'irregardless.'
You guys make no sense. Solid D, suck my balls already. You know what I mean.
He might. Obviously he will last longer if he moves back to PF, which is the position he is best at(all time that is).
On NBA.com he's listed as a PF. You know, that and he's considered the greatest PF of all time. If he's a center, how did he earn that le.

Use irregardless in a Sentence
–adverb Nonstandard. regardless.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Origin:
1910–15; ir- 2 (prob. after irrespective) + regardless
Usage note:
Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. Irregardless first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930s.

ir·re·gard·less (ĭr'ĭ-gärd'lĭs)
adv. Nonstandard
Regardless.
[Probably blend of irrespective and regardless.]
Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

irregardless
an erroneous word that, etymologically, means the exact opposite of what it is used to express, attested in non-standard writing from 1912, probably a blend of irrespective and regardless. Perhaps inspired by the double negative used as an emphatic.
It is a word, just not a standard word. You see, there's something funny about the English language, it evolves over time to include new words as they are made up. Irregardless may have not been a word at one point in time, but has since become a word as a result of it's usage.
Now, back to the topic at hand, a basketball team has 5 positions, PG, SG, SF, PF, and C. However, in the Spurs system, there are only 3 positions, PG, Wing and Big Man. Duncan is a Big Man. Gino and RJ are wings.
So, in answer to the question at hand, Duncan is listed as a PF, always has been, always will be, hence the le of GOAT at the PF positon.
But in the Spurs system, it doesn't matter what his technical position is, just what space he occupies on the floor.
If you want to argue semantics, you lose. If you want to argue positioning, you lose. It doesn't matter what you genuises think, just what Tim Duncan thinks, and last time I checked, he fancies himself a PF.
/thread.
1999 le with DRob at C
2003 ditto
2005 le with Man From Nazr at C
2007 Frankie Elson and Fabs faking as a C.
Since then its become priority to give Mike Finley minutes, not find another C.
Good thread, Sequ.
why are you even here? Weren't you the one who said that you wouldn't be back by Nov.?
i guess you just slapped your face with your own schlong
You might want to check with spurs.com before speaking. If you type this in www.spurs.com, it transfers you to this http://www.nba.com/spurs/. Follow the roster link and it takes you to this http://www.nba.com/spurs/roster/.
Now look at his positon.
Josh Smith has jumped the opening tip for the Hawks on numerous occasions. That doesn't make him a center.
Admiral was a great defensive presence, but positions are largely defined in terms of their offense, and he was a KG/Dirk type with a small forward's game. Duncan is a pivot.
Were you on the Sheed-wagon?? Who do you propose the Spurs go after?
Guess my English teacher was wrong then. He will go to All Star game as a Center.
