NBA: Most dominant performances in playoff history

[baseline bum]

Well Stevey admitted he flopped years after. His theatrics probably kept the Suns 0fer

Nah man, his defense on Parker kept the Suns 0fer

[da_suns_fan]

Its just a simple question: How come Duncan never had any 40/20 games and other greats like Olajuwon, Shaq and Barkely did?

Even Anthony Davis has had a 40/20 game. In fact, he's already done it twice.

Sad, defensive Spurs fan cant come to grips with the fact that Duncan was never dominant (which is the name of the tread).

Your boy flopped and it cost him Game 5. Wasn't this such a beautiful sight when Bowen stuck that three to drop them at home?

I don't know, I was out under the street light waitin' for the children to signal me with the porch light.

40/20 is an arbitrary criterion. We could change the criterion to something that Duncan has done and Shaq has never done.

Duncan was one of the best playoff performers of all time. He consistently elevated his play from RS to playoffs, even more so in crucial games. He's one of the most clutch players in the final minutes of games, and statistics show that. He's also third all-time in playoff win shares.

Nice 40/20 games from the likes of Barkley and Shaq.

How come Duncan never had one? He played in the same era as Shaq. Guess he never was that dominant.

Barkley

How come Duncan never had a runner-up parade like Barkley did?

Duncan was too busy putting up quadruple-doubles in the Finals while dragging a D-League team to a ring. Meanwhile, Barkley, KJ, Nash and Amare were busy putting up empty stats and losing.

Very true. But I challenge you to come up with your own criteria that

A) Duncan did a lot of times (say more than 30)

B) Barkley, Malone, Olajuwon or Shaq didnt do it MORE.

homer pick, but a rookie forced to play center on the road in a closeout game (without Kareem) is one of the greatest performances in all of sports:

Playoff series won

Hated this asshole, but his 3rd quarter was heroic:

[da_suns_fan]

Playoff series won

Teams win playoff series. Not players.

You just proved my point. You cant do it.

Its not your fault. The facts are in my favor. You cant prove Duncan was dominant because...well, he wasnt.

LOL more arbitrary criteria

[da_suns_fan]

LOL more arbitrary criteria

Then pick your own. Should be easy, right? Here's the rules:

A) Duncan has to have done it "a lot" of time (preferably more than 30)
B) None of the "Big Four" of Barkley, Malone, Shaq or Olajuwon have done it more.

For Example:

The Proverbial "Big Game" from Shaq would be 30 points, 15 rebound and 2 blocks. If I look it up:

1 Shaquille O'Neal* C 79
2 Hakeem Olajuwon* 71

Shaq did it 79 times (a lot) and more than anybody else. Duncan's at 5th with 30 times.

Another example: The proverbial "Barkley Game" is 26 pts, 12 rebounds and 5 assists:

1 Charles Barkley* F 98
2 Karl Malone* F 97
3 Kevin Garnett F 75

Duncan is 8th at 46.

So YOU pick the criteria. Do your best. But Im warning you its a waste of time. You cant fabricate dominance.

Please post the date in which Tim Duncan had a quadruple double.

Its been done by two players. Neither of which were Tim Duncan.
