hmm fair point this could start some interesting comparisons
who would you take right now Derrick Rose or Blake Griffin and you need to tak in their age and performances so far
This is one of those things to me that stats don't really decide. When I think of Basketball in the past 10 years, and it's best players - I think Kobe Bryant at the top. Duncan is right up there, don't get me wrong - but one thing that Kobe is definitely overlooked in is that he's played through a lot of adversity and silenced a lot of critics during his career, over and over again. Let's not forget the support cast Tim Duncan has had as well too.. Going by those stats though, yeah Tim Duncan looks to be in front.
this ones getting heated lol
lol fair enough we need more polls like this i thought my griffin rose one was ok how about kevin love or pau gasol?
hmm ok how about durant and lebron
Really?
Do you not think, that you thinking of Kobe, has a lot to do with him being pushed more by the NBA, given more exposure etc.
Even the titles that the Spurs won, if you compare them in your mind to the ones won by the Lakers, did not seem as glamorous or significant.
After all, how much easier is it to market a shooting guard who dunks on people and hits game-winners, then a fundamentally sound power forward who does nothing highlight-reel worthy but has probably been the best defensive player in the NBA collectively over the past 12 years or so.
If anything the stats make Kobe look better, 81 point game, 35.4 PPG one season etc etc.
And let's not forget that while Kobe did "silence critics", those critics were only there because he made them be there. He could have gone about his business quietly, but the whole deal running Shaq out of town, being "selfish" etc was all his own-doing. The criticism was not undeserving and was not unjustified.
durant-dirk-rose-rondo-duncan.
rondo vs nash is a toughy...
It's not tough if you're taking age into consideration.
lol we are saying if you had a one year contract as coach who would you take right now rondo or nash for next year?
