It makes me wonder. People say that there are players that are made better because of Pop's system. Why does that not apply to Duncan? They list players that have their best years under Pop and then they go someplace else and look very average. How come nobody ever said that about Duncan?
Yep its like the opposite of blazers where people like crawchuck and mo chuck and shawn kemp are decent to incredible until they come to portland
Amazing how worked up some people get over this stuff. My five: Offense/Defense combo--Magic, Michael, Pippen, Duncan, Hakeem. If I divided up the rest into 4 more teams: Team Toughness--Isiah, Kobe, Bird, KG, and Wilt (only because I'm a dollar short for Russell) Team Smoooooth--Big O, Clyde, KD, Dirk, Kareem. Effortless play all around. Team Physicality--Stockton (dirty MF), Wade, Lebron, Malone, Shaq. That front line would pound you. Team Leftovers--Frazier, West, Dr J, Chuck, Russell. That actually turns out an interesting group...
Here's another look--which $15 5 gets you the most rings? Magic/Wade/Pippen/Duncan/Russell have 29 championships between them. Beat that!
I think people realize that while Pop certainly helped make Duncan, Duncan helped make Pop as well. Can't say that about Danny Green and Patty Mills.
Adidas: "Hey, KG, if you guys win it all, wait for somebody to shove a microphone in your face, pretend to be all introspective, and then yell our new slogan, 'IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!' and we'll give you another pile of money. Make it look dramatic, yet spontaneous!" KG: "ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE!"
Not even if you graded on a curve. Ruben Patterson used to try to help Kevin Garnett do his spelling homework, but gave up because Garnett couldn't spell "My agent tol' me to keep my mouf shut..."
The idea that either of you would take Lebron/Wade over Jordan/Pippen (Both $6 combos) is unfathomable to me.
My Team: PG: Magic SG: Drexler SF: Bird PF: Duncan C: Olajuwon Thinking outside the box: PG: Magic SG: Jordan SF: Drexler PF: Durant C: Olajuwon
Again, I don't understand taking any $6 SG/SF combo over Jordan/Pippen. Drexler/Bird? That's a defensive liability. Well, if you wanna take guys out of position, then I'll go Pippen, Jordan, Lebron, Duncan, Olajuwon, and nobody will ever score on me. PG is probably the weakest position on the list defensively. If I can replace Magic with Lebron--ballgame.
I dont see how you take anyone over jordan. I mean im getting pretty pissed off about the lack of respect I this thread. /greenfont
I would rather have Lebron then Jordan and Wade if were considering him in his prime injury free id take over Pippen. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Absolute prime Wade really wasn't too different from MJ in production, plus my team is full of guys who are okay with seeing their teammates do well. No super egos like Jordan/Kobe.
LOL @ having Duncan at $3 while Chuck and and the Mailman are more. Neither won jack shit. Magic Jordan Pippen Duncan Hakeem Come at me bro
Yes Kevin Garnett is one of the greatest players ever http://www.basketball-reference.com...c5comp=gt&c6mult=1700&c6stat=&order_by=player
