2013-2014 NBA Season Thread - Congrats to the Spurs, DBD is still a buster

[bence23]

KG was just as good as Duncan period. The only difference is rings and the fact that Duncan's body has lasted longer. I give Duncan the nod based because of that but lets not act like KG wasn't on par. Duncan does some things better than KG and KG does some things better than Duncan. KG just played with far more inferior talent than TD for majority of his career. Did I really just see dude put Dirk ahead of KG on the all time power forward list 

Duncan
Malone
KG
Barkley










Dirk

the difference is kg only had a decent team ONCE in minny..and they still took the lakers to 6 in the WCF with cassell(?) injured that year..we saw what happened in boston the year he had teammates as good as duncan did/does in san antonino

also his body breaking down coincided with lebron entering his prime.. so bad timing there as well

Refs took Dirks chip away in 06.

Damn shame.

but he got it back against a better team that was said to steamroll the league...

its a win win but yea Dirk should have won

His playoff run in 2011 made me a fan.

One of the most amazing playoff runs ever

Would take Lebron over TD, KG, Dirk, C Webb, Kobe,...Srs. Only one i'm kind of hesitant with is Duncan.

 

[statis22]

People definitely underappreciate the beast that C-Webb was in his prime

He changed the pf position until dirk came along

He did? How?

 

[urbetterthenme]

He did? How?

He made passing for a PF/C more common. The Euros used to past but nobody was on Cwebbs level. No C webb , no JNoah or BG.

I've come full circle on the 06 finals. A lot of those foul calls were just straight up hacks. D wade was a beast the mavs couldn't keep up with him

Lebron is like dj mustard where the other players listed are pharrell of the neptunes

Mustard youngin to the game not very versatile or accredited , pharrell total opposite , dont know any other way to explain. Do you listen to modern musi, and were you doing so in early 2000's on...

Avi to post ratio is exceptional.

Epic reach man. Not only is it wrong...it doesn't even make sense

Lebron has more Mvps than all of them and more championships than 3 of them. What accreditation do you need

 

[shoeking2101]

Alright, look...

The separation between Mustard and Pharrell / Neptunes is FAR GREATER than the separation between Lebron and Kobe, Duncan, TD, KG, Dirk, and C Webb. Period.

There are some decent bigs that are Free agents this year. I expect Thunder to make a real move. Nobody wants to make the mistake Cleveland did by not surrounding the Star with Ring type rosters

 

[shoeking2101]

Basically I mean he's about to have 3 of them thangs before 30. He's already there with those guys

What's their financial situation looking like? Realistically, who could they bring in / acquire with the Money that they have to spend?

 

[Proposition Joe]

Lebron can play an guard 1-4 why would you not take him over everyone else





Still spurs4life though !

 

[stayblessed]

Basically I mean he's about to have 3 of them thangs before 30. He's already there with those guys

But he doesn't have the rings of Kobe and Duncan ...

 

[herbshuttles15]

Hold up this ***** just said Lebron isn't versatile [emoji]128514[/emoji] not even Skip would say something like that.

 

[shoeking2101]

That playing the 4 business is a farce. He can't really guard any of the good 4's in the league. Maybe for like a possession or two, but not consistently.

However, like I said I agree. I'm taking him before all of those guys.

 

[shoeking2101]

But he doesn't have the rings of Kobe and Duncan ...

He's 29. The fact that he's a legit player in the discussion at 29 is all that needs to be said about that. He's 29 and making going to the finals every year a formality for the Heat. That speaks volumes.

If they amnesty Perk, any of them
