Can someone tell me what PF has had a better start than this?
Simply the best.
yep! stats and numbers dont lie
That's Timmy..
No way.
KG>TD
I believe in my unbiased comparison that Jermaine O'Neal > Tim Duncan.
Duncan is not the best PF of all time, imo rasho>duncan
Rasho is not PF
Duncan is the best for now
No way. It's all about the mailman.
charles barkley>Duncan
Charles who?
The fat guy on TNT who is the greatest PF of all time.
Please explain to all of us here how KG, Jermaine O'Neal, and Sir Charles are better than Tim. Neither of them has won a NBA Championship. None of those three can even touch Tim. None.
Anyone that says that sir Charles, Karl Malone, or Jermaine Oneal are better than Duncan probably rode the little yellow bus to school. Re s pure re s, look at the rings, look at the MVP trophies....Duncan carries teams, jealousy causes stupid people to make stupid judgements on saying those pf's were better than Tim
Dont tell anyone JR REID>DUNCAN
I am sorry, but i shall disagree, in my completely unbiased opinion:
my neighbors' girlfriend's cat's uncle's owner's 3rd cousin > Duncan
[/ifyoutakethisseriouslyyourachoad]
Even him.
U see we've got KG, Sir Charles, JR Reid, J. O'Neal and Obi's neighbors' girlfriend's cat's uncle's owner's 3rd cousin
Tim is simply not the best PF in history
Bingo, he ain't even top 5Even him.
U see we've got KG, Sir Charles, JR Reid, J. O'Neal and Obi's neighbors' girlfriend's cat's uncle's owner's 3rd cousin
Tim is simply not the best PF in history
Antoine Carr>Tim Duncan
Carl Herrera > Tim Duncan
P.S.-This little gem of a post was #1000!

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeyit even Batman can play PF better than Duncan
Julius Jones>Tim Duncan, and he plays football
Uwe Blab > Tim Duncan
I've always felt that Duncan is more than a PF...he is a PF/C. He is the best big man in the game right now. Not Shaq not KG, not Jermaine. Duncan is simply the best in the leauge right now. As for all time? it's hard to say. I know Karl Malone never won a championship but he was amazing for about 20 seasons.
If Tim Duncan would have led TEAM USA to Gold in Athens I think that would have qualified him as the best power forward ever. I have to go with Karl Malone for now...but I'm sure Tim Duncan will pass him some day. Don't get me wrong I think Tim Duncan is a better player than Karl Malone was but it's because I feel like Timmy is more than a PF also a C. Couldn't say that about the mailman.
The fact that Tim can play BOTH PF and C equally well, as opposed to the mailman....shouldn't that be a plus?
Also, Mailman was deceptive. John Stockton made him who he was. Mailman choked way too often in big games to be considered top PF in my book.
