I'd put Malone at PF and Wilt at Center

I know Duncan has more rings, but Duncan never played against Jordan's Bulls.

Wilt was just the most dominant player of all time and he was an amazing athlete for being such an enormous man.

Can't wait for people to rip you about your PG opinion.

I wanted to put Jimmer at the top, I just couldn't

kimdaddy35

5/18/15 9:56pm

C has to be either Wilt, Kareem, or Russell. I liked Olajuwon, but the other 3

Statistically I can't argue with you on center

kimdaddy35

5/18/15 10:15pm

Wilt, Kareem and Russell.

Karl is the top dog at PF Tim is close but still falls 10954 pts short.

MrF

5/18/15 10:26pm

I think Timmy would take the 5 championships over the points

kimdaddy35

5/18/15 10:28pm

Then you should have Robert Horry as your top PF with 7 rings.

MrF

5/18/15 10:38pm

since when is the game about one stat?

southernfriedcougar

I'd put Malone at PF and Wilt at Center

Josef K

5/18/15 10:31pm

Fairly funny on Malone. Duncan didn't play against the Jordan led Bulls, but he

kimdaddy35

5/18/15 10:41pm

Nah. I absolutely cannot stand the Jazz.

Josef K

5/18/15 10:44pm

Good for you, I like a guy with an original non-biased opinion.

kimdaddy35

5/18/15 10:46pm

yet Malone beats Duncan in almost every statistical category.

MrF

5/18/15 10:51pm

Duncan held his own in statistical categories and when you consider his hardware

bagman

5/18/15 11:47pm

Malone was a true PF. Duncan was more a center.

Josef K

5/19/15 10:00am

But that is all a moot point because

Not really,

MrF

5/19/15 6:43pm

Anyone who says it was a wash on defense has no idea what they are speaking

kimdaddy35

5/19/15 11:49pm

FWIW

Cougarmus Prime

5/20/15 12:59am

Too much bias.

bagman

5/20/15 2:48am

It's totally unfair to say Duncan was a better defender b/c he had more blocks.

Josef K

5/20/15 8:54am

eyeball test tells me Duncan was 2x the defender as Karl.

thebruce

5/20/15 10:31am

As a pure powerforward - I might choose Malone. As a PF in a team concept - I

Zenoch

5/20/15 10:52am

I like the fact that there's no ego in Duncan's game and his length is a huge

mikeynolikey

5/20/15 11:11am

Go back and watch a 40 year old Karl malone man handle Tim Duncan

MrF

5/20/15 9:28pm

Lol you are making crap up.

thebruce

5/20/15 9:58pm

It is hard for me to have conversations with posters who just make stuff up

kimdaddy35

5/21/15 12:41am

lol I looked up the stats too but didn't think mrF deserved the details.

thebruce

5/21/15 12:51am

All of the highlights are on youtube here is an example.

MrF

5/21/15 12:55am

LOL I was right.

thebruce

5/21/15 12:57am

And Timmy's stats for that game

MrF

5/21/15 1:34am

You are a clown.

thebruce

5/21/15 8:04am

Funny how they doubled Duncan every time when Malone was on him

kimdaddy35

5/21/15 1:21am

And it was working too, having a 40 year old man with a bum knee push

MrF

5/21/15 1:46am

That's fine. I don't care so much about rings.

Josef K

5/18/15 10:55pm

Wait, you say

You are right, he made the finals as the 4th best player on the

in fairness though.

4th best on the roster?

Cougarmus Prime

5/19/15 3:57pm

RE: 4th best on the roster?

Cougarmus Prime

5/19/15 4:10pm

In just about every method you use he was the #4 guy on that team

kimdaddy35

5/19/15 4:21pm

In the postseason Karl was the best player on the Lakers for a few games

thebruce

5/19/15 4:23pm

So you admit he was the 4th best player?

kimdaddy35

5/19/15 4:40pm

I think he was the 3rd best player when fully healthy. Absolutely.

thebruce

5/19/15 4:56pm

The stats don't tell the whole story.

thebruce

5/19/15 4:58pm

The stats tell a completely different story

kimdaddy35

5/19/15 11:50pm

he was playing injured during the season

thebruce

5/20/15 8:23am

So does that make him a better player?

kimdaddy35

5/20/15 12:06pm

well ok, I see what you are saying...We are just defining it in different ways.

thebruce

5/20/15 12:23pm

Fair enough. Simply put from a production standpoint he was the

You can sit around on the pot looking at stats all day long. If he's the 4th

5/20/15 8:53am

a bit ironic...I posted half of my responses from the pot.

I'm a big jazz homer...I'd still take duncan over Karl 10/10. the only people

thebruce

5/19/15 1:36am

C is Hakeem if 5 steps to the basket are allowed.

Accipiter

5/18/15 10:40pm

I can't disagree with any of those, but where would you put the Big O? Surely

mikeynolikey

5/18/15 10:54pm

LBJ vs. Bird is not even close to a tough choice ...

MormonDevil

5/18/15 11:01pm

LBJ is certainly more versatile, but you can't dismiss Bird so easily. One of t

mikeynolikey

5/18/15 11:07pm

Bird is like Stockton ...

MormonDevil

5/18/15 11:19pm

No way would I take KD over Bird. Bird was a more complete player.

Josef K

5/18/15 11:25pm

And only Jordan was a greater competitor

mikeynolikey

5/18/15 11:31pm

KD over bird? wut.

thebruce

5/19/15 1:19am

Bird was incredible, his advanced stats match up fairly well to Lebron's

kimdaddy35

5/19/15 1:43am

They are different mentally. Bird is up there with Jordan when it comes to

"Fading" was his critics' word; Unselfish, bringing best out in teammates is how

roseyscenario

5/19/15 9:39am

They are comparable players. I probably put LBJ ahead of Bird for two reasons.

Josef K

5/19/15 9:42am

Those are also reasons why Magic is in that discussion.

roseyscenario

5/19/15 9:43am

There you go again. Timmy isn't a PF.

wapiti

5/19/15 1:00am

Backcourt: I'll put LBJ at point, Kobe at the 2, MJ at 3.

Undefeated

5/19/15 1:07am

Kobe and MJ would kill eachother. That team would suck.

thebruce

5/19/15 1:21am

they would be guarding each other even on the same team

thebruce

5/19/15 1:48am

Certainly your prerogative, but I think a team with Magic, Jordan and Lebron
