Outside of Duncan, the best 3 Big men of the last 15 years were Shaq, Gasol, Dwight.

[Dray n Klay]

Agree/Disagree?

[Doctor K]

Dirk? KG? Griffin? Ming?

[Nilocon165]

Disagree completely.

[G-train]

Shaq is better than Duncan GTFO
I'd rather 2001 Shaq over anyone ever barring prime Jordan.
And yes 2016 minus 15 is 2001.

[G-train]

and Dirk ad KG are vastly better than Gasol and Dwight.

[Fudge]

:roll:

Agreed.

1. Duncan
2. Shaq
3. Gasol
4. Dwight
5. Bynum

[Dray n Klay]

:roll:

Agreed.

1. Duncan
2. Shaq
3. Gasol
4. Dwight

OP is melting down so hard

His join date reflects when he started watching basketball

Lmao, coming from the dude who can't stop making threads about LeBron

[RRR3]

Disagree. Not mentioning KG and Dirk, amongst others, is absurd.


Top 5 is probably Shaq, Duncan, KG, Dirk, Dwight.

[AintNoSunshine]

Wow this really shed light on the ability of someone whose name hasn't been mentioned to win despite being blessed to play alongside the world's most dominant bigs.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Lmao, coming from the dude who can't stop making threads about LeBron

Coming from the guy who literally has Lebron in his title

Get outta here rook

[Smoke117]

Dwight was better than Kevin Garnett? Gasol was? :roll: Stfu.

[Dray n Klay]

Dwight was better than Kevin Garnett? Gasol was? :roll: Stfu.


Easily...

[Akrazotile]

Dirk? KG? Griffin? Ming?




Stop.

[Akrazotile]

Anyway, OP is correct. You could argue that KG, Pau, Dirk, D12 were the four bigs occupying the tier of greatness just a tick below Shaq and Duncan.

But Pau and D12 definitely at the very least share that tier, if not occupy it exclusively. They are sure-fire HOFers and are absolutely the dominant bigs of their eras.

[ralph_i_el]

:roll:

Agreed.

1. Duncan
2. Shaq
3. Gasol
4. Dwight
5. Bynum

:facepalm

Duncan
Shaq
KG
Dirk
Dwight

inexcusable to leave off Dirk and KG

[SwayDizzle]

Dwight howard? Nik pls

[ISHGoat]

Coming from the guy who literally has Lebron in his title

Get outta here rook

You are literally a retard though.

[jayfan]

Dwight over Ben Wallace?

:confusedshrug:

Nah.


.

[Dray n Klay]

ppl in this thread acting like Dwight wasnt clearly the best big man in the league from 2008-2013 :oldlol:

[Wally450]

KG and Dirk have to be in there. No way they can't be.

[Steven Kerry]

Disagree because Gasol was only top 5 of the past 15 years.

[Jasper]

No Durant

[Clifton]

Shaq over Duncan.

There was nothing in the world like prime Shaq. Compared to prime Shaq, Duncan was a peon. He is still top 10 all-time, don't get me wrong. But he can't be above Shaq. That's just pure revisionism. That's like saying Hakeem was better than Shaq.

To make an analogy to Glengarry Glen Ross, Duncan gets the steak knives. Shaq gets the company car. That's the difference between 35ppg in the Finals and being "solid", hitting a jumper here, getting a putback there, while Tony Parker walks away with the Finals MVP in your prime. Always Be Closing.

[Bosnian Sajo]

:facepalm

Duncan
Shaq
KG
Dirk
Dwight

inexcusable to leave off Dirk and KG

Gasol >>> Dwight

[swagga]

Dwight over Ben Wallace?

:confusedshrug:

Nah.


.

I love big ben but dwight is just a superior player. 20ppg on 60+% TS is no joke, monkeyball or no monkeyball.

[SsKSpurs21]

obvious hidden agenda here... basically a kobe bashing thread to show that he played with 3 of the top 4 big men in the era.

[Big164]

Lineal Throne of Best Big Man in the Game

Mikan

On the other hand, Duncan was better for way longer, brought all the intangibles, and you never had to worry about his conditioning or free throw shooting....

[ralph_i_el]

Gasol >>> Dwight

bruh.....Gasol never even made first team NBA. He never received an MVP vote

Dwight got MVP votes in 5 different season. He has more 1st team all NBA selections than Gasol has 2nd and 3rd COMBINED

PLUS his DPOTY awards. And he went to the finals as the best player on his team.

[NBASTATMAN]

shaq
duncan
kg
dirk
gasol

this is the way I would rate all these guys.. Gasol is still a very good player

[NBASTATMAN]

I would take Gasol over Howard anyday mostly because Gasol is much more of an intelligent player...

[BigKAT]

Kevin Garnett.

MVP.
Defensive player of the year.
Big Ticket.

Shaq Gasol and Dwight--- And KG.

Shaq may be Roma and the Cadillac El Dorado, but that hardly makes Duncan one of the ordinary office bums who get the steak knives.

Duncan could still go out there, TONIGHT, with the teammates most players have, and make himself a deep playoff run. In two hours. Can Kobe? Can Curry?

Can curry?
Don't overdo it lmao.
Yeah he messed up in the playoffs, but still man. That's just brutal.

Can Curry make a deep playoff run with an AVERAGE cast of teammates?

We simply dont know.

Now you're just being heartless.
Let the guy recover from that loss.

[ZMonkey11]

If some of these reactions are real, this was a masterful troll.

[soots]

Dirk 11 is one of the top 3 greatest runs ever.

[FireDavidKahn]

Dwight.

Over KG

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[retaxis]

1.Shaq
2.Duncan
3. Dwight
4. Gasol
5. Bynum
6. Odom

Hmmm these are the best big men of the last generation and 5/6 of their names seem to have something in common....I cant figure it out!!!!!:mad:

[Nastradamus]

Shaq is better than Duncan GTFO
I'd rather 2001 Shaq over anyone ever barring prime Jordan.
And yes 2016 minus 15 is 2001.

which means 01 wouldn't be included.....
