    Default Why does Duncan get a pass for winning bronze in his prime?

    Every player in NBA history, with the exception of Kobe Bryant, is excused from their failures.

    How can you possibly defend Duncan winning bronze for team USA in his prime? You can't. He embarrassed our nation and quite frankly, I don't consider him American and I have no clue how he played for our great nation.

    THAT is a HUGE reason why Kobe is ahead of him all time. Kobe is 2nd or 3rd and Duncan is 4, 5, or 6.

    I'm not sure Duncan is the best basketball player of his era. He's just the best NBA player of his era.

    That team was poorly put together.
    Was run by ball-dominant ISO guards like Iverson & Marbury and had a bunch of really young guys who couldn't shoot.
    I also thought the coaching staff did a poor job overall. Don't remember if they were really involved enough or if they sat back expecting their superior talent to get it done.



    Just a super young team with few experienced big names that were naturally good team players with good portability.
    Wade, Bron & Melo were all Rook's I believe.

    Not sure how much blame Duncan really deserves for them failing.
    Clearly the team had major issues unrelated to him.

    It's funny how you talked all that mess of shit but than ranked Duncan higher than anyone does all time. Kobe 2nd or 3rd all time? Literally no case. There is no single argument ANYONE, not even Kobe's biggest stans can make for Kobe over Kareem. (I'm just using him because Jordan and Kareem to me are clearly the two greatest players of all time) Even you, who doesn't know anything about basketball can't seriously put Kobe over Kareem...that's just ludicrous.

    Kobe won b2b titles without a top 85 player of all time as his second option in the toughest conference in NBA history.

    Kareem won all his titles with a top 10 player in Magic and a top 15 player in Oscar Robertson.

    Go to bed.

    He's Tim Duncan. He never get blames only his teammates. And besides the fact that was a very poorly constructed team, and Larry Brown benched the 4 NBA rookies.

    kobe is the closest thing to jordan.. and thus.. probably the 2nd best player ever

    but his resume is between 4-6th best


    i'd round it out to top 5 bare minimum


    bbr HOF monitor score


    1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar* 1.0000
    2. Michael Jordan* 1.0000
    3. Bill Russell* 1.0000
    4. Wilt Chamberlain* 1.0000
    5. Kobe Bryant 1.0000

    No Pop, no Ws

    And additionally to winning bronze him and his team got battered by Timmys own teammate in Manu who carried his team to Gold. Which is honestly one of the more impressive feats in basketball
