Kobe has all that minus the extra MVP and stats are up there with the best already, but it's pretty dumb to compare a 2 guard with a center.
lol it's not over yet
Nah, Breen and JVG dynamic was great.. he being contrarian just make JVG more explosive anyway, Mark Jackson is the one that need to fuck off.
Just saying those guys played in a different era.

Heat played so pitiful they deserved to lose.

IDK man SOME people people don't seem like they care much for history. Oscar is definitely going before Duncan sorry. At any rate you are talking to a HUGE Duncan fan so...... I'm not offended.
Robertson is regarded as one of the greatest players in NBA history, a triple threat who could score inside, outside and also was a stellar playmaker. His rookie scoring average of 30.5 points per game is the third highest of any rookie in NBA history, and Robertson averaged more than 30 points per game in six of his first seven seasons.[1] Only two other players in the NBA have had more 30+ point per game seasons in their career. Robertson was the first player to average more than 10 assists per game, doing so at a time when the criteria for assists were more stringent than today.[3] Furthermore, Robertson is the only guard in NBA history to ever average more than 10 rebounds per game, doing so three times. In addition to his 1964 regular season MVP award, Robertson won three All-Star Game MVPs in his career (in 1961, 1964, and 1969). He ended his career with 26,710 points (25.7 per game, ninth-highest all time), 9,887 assists (9.5 per game) and 7,804 rebounds (7.5 per game).[1] He led the league in assists six times, and at the time of his retirement, he was the NBA's all-time leader in career assists and free throws made, and was the second all-time leading scorer behind Wilt Chamberlain.[3]
Robertson also set yardsticks in versatility. If his first five NBA seasons are strung together, Robertson averaged a triple-double over those, averaging 30.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 10.6 assists.[22] For his career, Robertson had 181 triple-doubles, a record that has never been approached.
I knew they would lose but never expected the lack of passion, energy, and defensive effort. Pathetic.
And it was everyone playing terrible in turn. James tried in the 3rd but it was already too late.
I'm shocked at the terrible start by Wade and Chalmers especially. Miami seemed to play 10 times better in SA. And it's one thing to be out rebounded cause of the style you play and size but a lot of rebounding is about heart. Miami went from making me think they could have been up 2-0 to wondering if that was a different team all together.
Predicted Spurs in 6 but it's already over.

I'll be billionaire.
Kobe has those same accolades with MUCH better stats while beating Duncan's brains in several times in the playoffs.
Duncan hasn't even won his 5th yet lol. Not sure why folks are talking up his legacy already as shitty as he's been this series...
Are you fucking kidding me right now?
Duncan is a top 10 player of all time and the greatest PF in the history of the NBA. You can make a legitimate argument for top 5 - and saying he's top 15 or 20 is downright dumb.

Perfect response.
Heat fans. I am going to throw names at you to upgrade at point guard position. Ramon Sessions and Darren Collision. Thoughts? Riley needs to let Chalmers go. Heat need a PG that can attack the basket, create their own shot, and pass it out. All of which Chalmers doesn't do. These other guards I mentioned are not the best at doing all 3, but better than Chalmers.

welp congrats spurs on your new title.
3 in a row against this team is statistically impossible. we had a good run. couldn't have lost to a better, nicer team.
they deserve the props !

Duncan ain't better than Kobe or Shaq. Hell, all three of these dudes have already battled in the playoffs. This debate has already been settled on the hardwood.
Let it go.
Let it go.
Not to be dismissive, but Bron's business has bloomed since coming here and winning. All the issues you mention can be addressed on free agency, where the Big3 opting out would allow Riley to swing the biggest stick. And Wade may not be young Wade, but he's still one of the best players in the league when healthy. And though everyone is an expert on it, no one can accurately put a date on when he becomes bad. There's also nothing to suggest Bron even shares those doubt's or concerns. He isn't leaving the chemistry and winning culture he is a part of down here. It's just not gonna happen. People should read or listen to the Heat beat down here. I don't even think Windy believes he's going anywhere, and he's been the biggest proponent. PEACE.
Another really good spur player from back in the day, Sean Elliott was a big starcraft fan as well I believe.

Slow down, the Heat need to try and not get blown out before you talk about winning in 7

Good god Miami.
This should end the debate on who is a better Basketball player. Le Bron is to me, phsyically better than Jordan but man, Jordan is a winner. He doesn't take this kind of shit.

In the other forum, MVP blamed the loss to LeBron's stomach problems.
His fanaticism is at an all-time high.
His fanaticism is at an all-time high.
If Allen, Wade, LeBron, Parker, Ginobili, or Duncan retired today, they would be in the Hall for sure. Bosh? He still needs to keep playing at a high level for a few more years. If he gets a Rose-like injury and his career just stalls? He'll be on the outside looking in.
NYC would bend over and shake it if Lebron rolled to the Knicks. Ditto with most teams. The LeBron haters are going to hate no matter what he does, and he might pick up a few extras in Miami, but can't see it mattering much.
To be fair, who on this Heat team has played like a HoFer? Its like when Malone and Rodman were Lakers. "Entire team of HOFers and Kobe couldn't get it done!"

You can keep your opinions. I don't have many PFs in my top 15 anyway. Like I said I'd HAVE to redo my list. He ranks anywhere from 10-20 okay. My personal list.
Name the other 14 better than Duncan..Duncan the 16th best player is utterly laughable. Double double machine and easily one one of the best players in history on the defensive end.
Lebron imo can arguably be called greatest of all time. Three peat and down 1-3. Without a doubt he would. The question is CAN he put the team on his back and get it back to Miami for a game 6.
Yeah, that's the one.
Beer and iPhones don't really get along with spelling and grammar. Kinda like Lebron James and adversity.
I don't think Bron leaves either. Bosh or Wade might be gone, but Bron runs Miami now. If he wants Melo, Love and/or Rondo, they're coming down by him. He's basically the GM at this point.
No to sessions. Collision would just be a quicker Mario with less active hands. Not sure we need to make sideways moves there. I'd honestly rather keep Rio at that rate, if he stays at $4M. PEACE.
heh. In all seriousness, the Spurs played great the last two games. The offense has been smooth and they gave it to the Heat. Sunday will be interesting. I'll live with whatever happens.
I'm still waiting for that check in the mail. ;3

What about these last two games realistically makes you think this could happen?

You'd have to be outside your mind to start a team from scratch with an all time great PG over an all time great big man. NBA history is not on your side.

What if the world was made of pudding? What if I was proclaimed kind of mars? What if?
The fact that Duncan understands that basketball is a team game and knows that he needs to fill his role for the team to succeed is a reason why you should rank him high. I don't know why you're lowering his rank because of it

Then this will go down as one of the greatest finals series ever and I will be glad to have seen it live.
Damn right. If you believed the last 4 years, then believe for 3 more games. PEACE.

There are some adjustments and some signs of things that could work going forward. Particularly going back to the traditional Lineup of Rio, Wade, Bron, Haslem and Bosh or go pg-less with Allen or Bats instead of Rio.
