It was never really a debate.
Is it completely 100% a closed book? Is it finally not even an argument?
It was never really a debate.
4 rings vs 1 ring. Enuff' said
But Garnett screams after he dunks
there were some people who always said it was never really a debate
i was definitely one of them but there were enough people calling it a debate to make it a debate
i'm just asking
is the debate over
can we all look back in agreeance and laugh now
I'm going off-topic on this one early, I know, but there's something that been nipping at me for a bit and has not been brought up by any analysts:
A piece was done of ESPN regarding KG's "intimidation factor" defensively and how he extends himself as an enforcer through blocking shots that don't count when a play is blown dead. I guess because it has become such a trend in the league as of late they were trying to acknowledge it for the psychological effect it may have on the opposition. The thing that hasn't made sense to me about all that is that everytime he comes down on his knees from one of those leaps he's putting more wear-and-tear/mileage on his lower body, needlessly at that. Never understood why someone on the team hasn't gotten in his ear to tell him to ease off the throttle when the whistle is blown, especially given the issues he's had the last few years with his lower body?
Not trying to hi-jack the thread, just something that's been on my mind since I saw that piece.
Whatever debate there was Timmy won.
Let's let the Tru Warier settle this one:
"I remember one time Kevin Garnett was mushing him, and shoving him in the face; and Tim Duncan didn't do anything, he didn't react. He just kicked Kevin Garnett's ass, and won the damn championship. You know what I'm sayin'? That's gangsta. Everybody can show emotion, dunk on somebody, scream and be real y; but Tim Duncan is a ... he's a pimp."
-Ron Artest
What is funny is that a large part of the debate seriously was only due to the fact that Garnett showed alot of emotion when dunking and blocking.
Seriously. That was most of the reason they were ever mentioned in the same sentence ever.
Unlike many people here, I've absolutely loved Kevin Garnett throughout his Hall-of-Fame career. Garnett is (IMO) the most versatile forward, other than Lebron James or Larry Bird, to ever play in the NBA. But, the notion that he's ever really been Duncan's equal throughout the entirety of their careers is ridiculous. They've been equals, throughout parts of their careers, but Duncan has always had the upperhand with his ability to score and defend in the low-post.
I'm sorry, but when was it a debate? Like ten years ago?
Garnett is a .
This hasn't been a debate since 2003.
I think it hasn't been a debate since 1999, when Tim showed he could carry a team to the Finals and win which Garnett didn't do until two years ago even though it was more of Pierce.
I would say after seeing Garnett get ejected just several minutes ago that Tim definitely has the mental edge on this dip . What an idiot he could also possibly get suspended for what he just did. You would never see Duncan do what KG just did espescially in a playoff game.
Finally?
It's been over for a while.
Typical over-emotional, insecure Spurs fans. Nothing to see here.
So, I guess it isn't settled then, huh? KG and Duncan, even-Stephen? Or maybe KG better?
what do you mean by finally? I will say that its more obvious now a days compared to a few years ago but I dont think KG was ever seriously considered to be a better player.
This won't get old anytime soon.
Seems to me that the only insecure person in this whole debate is KG himself. Nothing screams it more than blindly throwing elbows and running away like a little . Typical KG, no surprises here
I've already discussed this issue many times in this forum. Most of you guys are just too emotional to analyse basketball and have this kind of conversations.
Just seeing a self-conscious Celtic fan having to defend any and everything related to the team he roots for. Runs like a dog to a bone any time something is said. Nothing to see. We should probably stop saying anything about the Celtics because this guy is far too emotional about them. Because of his own issues, he feels the need to defend everything.
Not really, but whatever.
