Duncan Vs Hakeem ( yes there has been many thread)

[ThePhantomCreep]

Duncan 4 rings 3 fmvp 2 mvp
shaq 4 rings 3 fmvp 1 mvp

difference is duncan played defense
shaq being better on offense but duncan can ball both ends

Get real, Shaq's peak destroys Duncan's. Shaq was a 29/12 player by the time he was 22.

Dream/Duncan is closer, but I give the edge to Dream because his 91-92 to 95-96 seasons were that damn good.

Hakeem isnt better that Duncan and any GM who would take him over Duncan is an idiot. Duncan guarantees you 50 wins essentially.

Losers talking about a system, Duncan is the system.

Hakeem overrated as fukc on this board.

2011 Spurs = 61 wins with Duncan averaging 13/8. They're about to break their franchise record for wins with Duncan averaging a pedestrian 15/10.

Yeah, he's the system. Sure thing.

I'll take the Dream any day over Timmy. Duncan has a better resume but that's because he has better team mates and a great coach and he didn't play in Jordan's era and the 80's unlike Hakeem.

Keem

Hakeem was a ball hog. Gimme the Big Fundamental and his team playin IQ!

I love Tim Duncan, but does anyone here seriously believe that Hakeem, in Duncan's place, wouldn't have at least 4 rings right now? Duncan clearly has Hakeem on longevity, so a Hakeem-led Spurs dynasty would not be as good as they are now. But in the best years of 1999-2007? There's no doubt in my mind that Hakeem would've won 4-5 rings.

And prime Ray Allen would have prob won three rings with prime Shaq. So should we just give Ray three extra rings in addition to the ones he has and say he is = Kobe?

Duncan of course.......better winner

Duncan. He didn't have the pretty post moves that make Hakeem overrated (compared to Duncan) but Duncan is just as effective.

Hakeems's got more eye popping stats, though. Peak Hakeem > Peak Duncan but Prime Duncan > Prime Hakeem, and Duncan has a GOAT-length prime up there with KAJ.

What a stupid post by another fakkit who didnt see Hakeem play. His team playin IQ cuz its far more stacked than any Houston team and Spurs have the GOAT coach

I don't know about that. Kareem won an MVP in his 11th season, his 6th. Duncan hasn't been a legit MVP candidate since 2005.

Hell, Dream in his 13th season had a 23/9 season. Duncan's last 20ppg season was 7 years ago.

Pretty much. Hakeem was more dominant than TD at everything except passing and maybe intangibles.

Anyone quoting accolades, how many do you think Duncan wins in the Golden era? No rings, no MVPs, no DPOYs.

Now imagine how Hakeem would dominate today's weak NBA with no quality big man to speak of? He would get MVP pretty much every year, along with a default DPOY award. Give him excellent Spurs organization with Pop, and we are looking into 4-5 rings at very least.
