    Same team minus Duncan. I took Duncan but the other 4 are what make the team, I prefer Duncan for fundamentals. And KG is a dick.

    Lol

    KG is one of the fiercest competitors in NBA history. You want him on your team. His versatility on offense and defense is really unmatched at his position. On a team of all-time greats he's really the perfect PF.

    I don't want a guy on my team that gets down on all fours and barks like a dog. If Jordan did it he would be off my team.

    KG had skill and physical ability that might have been unmatched ever. Even more than Sheed. He is also a fucking idiot, which is why he isn't even mentioned as one of the greatest players. Not really debatable.

    But he is one of the all-time greats. He's an easy 1st ballot HoF.

    He's like the PF version of Scottie Pippen, but KG is more of a team leader.

    KG is true greatness

    Prime Duncan does everything except fly. No need for KG on my team.

    He is not Bird Magic Wilt Jordan level sorry. Duncan might not be but people don't laugh when you say it.

    Well now you're getting away from what you said

    Duncan is the best pf of all time. He is a steal at $3 in this. Duncan is probably a top 5 big of all time. Kg always was his bitch throughout their careers

    He is clearly a hall of fame player and one of the best at his position. I meant he isn't on anyone's list of all time players top 5-10 at any position.

    I said that because he is an asshole and I think he might be one of the top 3 most physically gifted players I have ever seen. Shaq KG and Lebron?????

    I haven't changed my view at all. Will take Duncan every time unless you want dunks.

    KG equals Drexler for the most part. Great but not in Jordan, Wilt, Kareem territory.

    KG can run an offense and defense in the same game. You pretending he's just Blake Griffin tells me a lot about your basketball insight.

    You are a fucking moron. Duncan can do anything KG could do except fly. KG could jump higher. Did I fucking say KG was Blake Griffin? Do I have to spell everything out for you? Duncan was better than Garnett. NO THAT DOESN'T MEAN I THINK GARNETT IS EQUIVALENT TO GARY TRENT.

    Jesus Christ

    Kevin Garnett is a total moron. Not surprised that doesn't downgrade your opinion of him.

    There's a reason why I picked KG over Duncan.

    He was way more athletic in his day. If I'm going with Magic and Scottie Pippen, I want a guy like Garnett who can run the floor. The guy was a fucking monster in his prime. Really good defense, really good jump shot, and insanely athletic.

    Kevin Garnett is one of the more intelligent players to play the game.

    Again.... you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Your basketball insight is nonexistent.

    People forget how incredibly dominant Garnett was, and it was wasted on some extremely shitty Wolves teams. If you plug Garnett into Duncan's spot on those Spurs teams, he wins just as many championships as Duncan did.
