unironically yeah he is compared to some other players. the most gloating he does is the occasional dumb little celebration after hitting some crazy shot. most "best of a generation" players like Iverson, Kobe, LeBron, Jordan are all incredible egomaniacs who talk mad shit and constantly claim to be the best. Curry rarely if ever does that. the only superstar more humble than Curry is like Tim Duncan or Kawhi Leonard, but Spurs players are autistically humble to the point of being weird.

Knight and Bledsoe are too good and useful elsewhere to rot on this team. Suns have been stuck in half rebuild half win now mode for a few years, its time they send Bledsoe and Knight away to a good playoff team in exchange for a couple picks. Buddy + Booker is a fantastic backcourt to build around

nah I just looked it up. Lebron 29.2 3pt%, Westbrook 30%, but maybe they factored in long 2's in the stat I read. Either way both are pretty bad. The reason westbrook feels like a better shooter is he has tons of highlights with him making crazy shots so you forget about westbrick

He has one of the best pull-up jumpers in the league, pretty average on long twos. Behind the arc he's an absolute disaster though.

holy shit lads took some adderall and shot some hoops down at the Y and it literally made me steph curry

But there are only 5 positions. Being the GOAT at one of them sort of puts you in the contention for top 5 of all time.

Curry and Durant aren't from Duncan's era, but he's still better than both of them. He's also way better than Kobr, and at least on par with Shaw and LeCrab if not better than them as well.

Stop posting any time.

LeBron and Kobe are better at their position than Duncan is at his. And that is undeniable.
Duncan is a fundamental defensive monster, but Lebron and Kobe are scoring monsters, and that's what they are supposed to do, and they're the best at what they do.

I used to think that too but Duncan's longevity has started to just blow me away. The man will be 40 years old in 3 weeks and he's still one of the best players in the league, at least on defense. He's literally been playing excellent basketball in the NBA longer than most posters here have been alive. For me it's a toss-up between Duncan and LeBron, but I would take Duncan over Kobe 10 times out of 10.

Kobe and LeBron in their prime made any team they were on an instant contender.

Those mid 00s Lakers teams sure were made into "instant contenders" by Kobe :^).

If anything, this applies to Duncan because he's the only one of those 3 who was competing for the title in pretty much every season in the league

He's been consistently a top 1-3 player in the league for eleven straight years. At his peak there was literally nothing he couldn't do. He is a better scorer and defender than Magic or Bird. He is a better passer and defender than Kobe. He is one of the greatest of not the greatest athlete to ever play in the NBA. Multiple rings at 30. Four MVPs. Durability. High IQ player. Two finals MVPs. Etc.

It has little to do with them being white, and more to do with them being extremely average compared to the competition that modern NBA players face. Basketball wasn't taken as seriously back then, it was on par with what the MLS is right now.

Top five pf of all time

1. Duncan
2. Malone
3.Barkley
4.a Garnett
4.b. Dirk

Garnett and dirk are interchangeable to me so I listed them both a 4. Rodman never had the offensive ability to carry a team like these five did so he didn't make. Mchale was career got fucked up by his foot injury and lost out on longevity so he missed the cut as well

But consistently he had one of the greatest coaches with one of the greatest systems ever with some of the best players ever like The Admiral, Parker, Ginobli, etc.
Kobe did as well but LeBron more than others had some bad or okay coaches but still elevated the whole team because his competence to play at so many positions and play them at the highest levels.

Ok grandpa, time to take your meds. Players from before the 90's would get destroyed in the modern NBA

Poland made a good point though, Kobe couldn't drag his team to the playoffs when they were trash in the mid 2000s. Even LeBron has been able to drag 76ers-tier trash teams into post season runs his whole career, Kobe doesn't have that team carrying ability.

As for Duncan, sure he's always had the best system/organization in the NBA helping him, but his supporting cast was weak at times too and he's never missed the playoffs.

Pop always says that he would not be the coach he is without Tim Duncan because he could get on Tim and he wouldn't jaw back, so everyone else on the team knew the deal. Duncan was ready to go as soon as he came into the league and its his leadership that vaults him into GOAT conversations as much as his skill. As for system, well, Duncan played in a post up grind out and transitioned into a pick and roll player seamlessly with Parker taking the reigns whilst always remaining one of the best defenders in the game.

This. Duncan was 1st team All-NBA and 2nd team All-Defense in his rookie season. He'd have been just as great on any team in any system. The main thing he gained from the way Pop manages the team is his incredible longevity.

Charles was a good defender fyi if anyone didn't know.
He was especially good switched on SF, SG, and PG's. Could hold his own against other PF and C, as the mound round of rebound he was famous as and being able to fight among the giants and get the ball.

Source? Watching him play, he looked really subpar compared to what I have seen him do in the past.

11-15 is very debatable, I posted it here exactly for this. Top 10 was well thought out, but 11-15, I rush picked.

Wall still averaged 20/10/5/2 on 51TS% playing with a SHIT roster as well.

>>66623574
McCollum is better than anyone else in that shithole. Also, having a good system makes your regular joes play well, like Aminu, Plumlee, Crabbe and even Harkless as of late.

Houston managed to kill Lawson, Brewer, DMo and others. Best options they have right now are BEASLEY and Ariza.
