Charles Barkley vs Karl Malone...who's better?

[KG5MVP]

Sir Charles do you consider Tim Duncan a power forward or a center?

Many people say Tim Duncan plays actually like a center, but he only calls himself a power forward to avoid comparison with the GOAT centers such as Hakeem, Chamberlain, Kareem.

He is Better than mot Centers any how except for Wilt, Jabbar, Shaq, Hakeem, Prime Sabonis, D-Rob and he is right there with Moses and Pat IMO.

His style of game and actual game is Total Center. He guards Centers, He is Guarded by Centers, he Positions on the Court like a Center.

what? Duncan isnt as good as Sabonis and D-Rob? I'm a big portland fan and I love sabonis.. but come on and I dont know how Duncan would've matched up against D-Rob but when they played for the same team Timmy was the nr 1 option. Might have had to do with age. But IMO he's a much better player.

nice bump

a lot of great discussion on the first two pages of this thread from some great posters. it is a shame the basketball dialogue in this forum has dropped off so substantially since those days.

this thread is actually a microcosm of the NBA forum. Thoughtful people opining and being respectful at the beginning of the thread before it gets bumped in 2008 and turns into a clownfest with bold typeset and emoticons.

A 1989 to 1996-97 Robinson before his major injury would have destroyed Duncan and a Pre 1987 Injury Sabonis the same

Duncan would have held is own in rebounding and was a better passer than Duncan but Offensively he would never have the same impact.

Sabonis destroyed and punked Robinson in 1986 before his injury 1987 and he punked in the same way that Shaq did on anyone in the 2000s and late 90s.

In the NBA Sabonis was a 31 year old man knee crippled man that had nothing to do with a Sabonis of the 80s

Sabonis is the Best European Player Ever (no its not Dirk, Petrovic, Prime Kukoc..) and even Shaq called him the Best Center he played against: him and Hakeem.
