Honestly, there is no reason to believe KG couldn't have done what Duncan did, had he had the same teams around him.
In those years who would you say was a better overall player ? I say KG . Dude was slept on for a little bit in Minny too.

No doubt.
He didn't have the dominance inside that Duncan had, specially on the offensive side, that makes a big difference IMO. Still a great player though.
Tbh I don't think someone who thinks manu>dirk is qualified to post here.
Get back upstairs please.
Duncan > KG...
There is no comparison.... At all... None....
All you have to do is look at 2003.... Duncan had NO ONE and carried that team to a 'ship.
Garnett? He folded.
Duncan is going to be remembered as the ultimate true sportsman....
Garnett is going to be remembered for his trash talk to guys 1ft smaller than him and backing away when they stepped up to his ass...
I mean, come on, Matt ing Bonner punked his ass out....
kg was a rich mans rasheed wallace. didnt post up like duncan did, but was as much of a beast defensively.
Garnett better than duncan?garnett doesnt have the class to hold timmys classy jockstrap, thats a 4 time champion compared to a 1 time
4>1
Tim Duncan career playoff averages-22.7ppg,12.4rpg,2.6bpg
Kevin-19.6ppg,11.1rpg,1.4bpg
Duncan was the better than Kg at defense and offense. Only a ing idiot would think a good jump-shooting could replicate what Tim did with surrounding talent.
Problem is:::the longer Duncan plays the more harm he does to his legacy. He's not pitiful yet, but, he's stalkin' it.
He should follow Daddy's lead & hang it up. He's just a check casher now.
Well, Duncan is a better teammate than KG. Duncan helps team chemistry and keeps everybody together. As an individual player I think KG was a little more versatile on offense but Duncan was a fair amount better on defense while being a better presence in the paint.
What Duncan does now doesn't change what he did in the past...uh uh... it's impossible to change the past.
3 rings
b2b mvps, 03/04 he came runners up to KG for the mvp
ummm this comparison is fail...dont bring in excuses with the around KG, dude if you wanna earn max contracts that fck up ur teams payroll to do anything to add pieces, then you can only blame urself...
look at the career earnings of KG compared to TD, he benefited from the previous CBA agreement, 285m compared to td 185m....
True, it doesn't change it, but, it certainly sullies it.
If he were in a large market, they'd ride his ass outta town on a rail. & they'd be justified in their fervor.
If he had an ounce of self-respect left, he'd renounce that last year on his contract and take up the rocking chair year round instead of just November-April.
He looks ridiculous:::a grown black man with a fork stuck in his ass.
Why do you adress me like if I care about what you have to say?
Comparing a jump shooter with an average inside game to a dominant PF with an excellent inside game and a good mid range game? Really?
GoodOdor is right, DAF. Manure, like Duncan has hung around too long. Now he looks positively silly out there trying to bait players & referees into his comedic routines. It's pitiful. Last year he broke his nose. This year he twisted his arm & sat on his ass.
He used to be something special. Now he's just a check casher, like Duncan.
Only part that raises a question mark. How did 2003 have no one?

KG has become slightly under rated IMO even after winning a championship ... He did things during his prime that really no other player did in history in terms of scoring rebounding passing playing all world defense.. but at the end of the day Duncan will be compared to guys like Hakeem and Shaq while Garnett will be compared to Malone and Barkley.
thats like saying the old jailblazers were stacked in the early 00s because they had guys like zbo, jermaine oneal, pippen, etc on top of their main guys like sheed...those s werent ready yet or were over the hill. much like manu (rookie), sjax (practically a rookie), parker (soph), and robinson (last yr). that team was all timvp tbh, carried the spurs on his back like the greatest PF of all time should.
kg vs dirk diggler would be a closer comparison
Duncan & Hakeem created SA/Houston
Shaq went to LA and within 6 years had 3 rings
KG left Minnesota with no Finals appearances. And at the of the day he couldn't overcome refs/injuries to win 2010. That would have put him equal to Hakeem in many eyes
Kobe aint far behind Cubby. He aint getting a free pass, nuh uh. Not on my watch.
He needed Ron Ron and co. to bail him out of 6-24 and followed that up with The Skunker. Youve no room.
I would take Duncan over KG any day of the week that ends in Y....
You never once heard Tim Duncan punching other teammates during practice, Tim Duncan didn't try to cuss out his opponents either...the dude set an example with his actions on the court.
Even though I'm a Mavericks fan, Tim Duncan is the NBA player I have the most respect for. When the Spurs were winning those championships in the early to mid 2000's, it didn't bother me much. Why? Because I knew the player that was leading those championship teams was a pure class act.
Real talk..troll face off.
Anyone who chooses KG over Tim is ing re ed.
KG
hands down
Duncan was just blessed to be on stacked teams
Come on son, if those Timeberwolves teams of the early to mid 2000's had Duncan instead of KG, I'm pretty sure that just Duncan's presence alone would have been enough to at least get them to the finals.
KG might have had the better statistics, but when you think of Duncan today...it's usually when people are discussing the subject of "Who is the best PF of all time?"
