these guys all came up around the same time, who was the best?
-
I'd say it has to be Timmy.
Dirk doesn't deserve to be in the conversation.
But KG & Timmy are two GOATs of the position.
-
The consensus has been Timmy as the greatest PF of all time for years now. Garnett isnt even typically considered #2 or #3. Usually Malone is #2.
Oh yeah...and Dirk is great, but he isnt in the conversation.

Kevin Garnett was surrounded by trash for a decade....imagine if you put him on those Spurs teams instead of Duncan

Less success. Duncan was the perfect fit for the Spurs. They needed a superstar who didnt care about being a superstar. Garnetts ego wouldnt have been able to deal with Pop's coaching style. And again, Garnett is never mentioned as the greatest PF of all time. Duncan is consistently mentioned as #1. Even Barkley calls him that on damn near every TNT broadcast lol.

NIK says Pau Gasol is better than both

lol unless you tell him that Kobe has a lot of help...then the entire team is full of bums being carried by Kobe
-
KG, he's the complete package. Amazing post up player, wet outside jump shot, great defender, playmaker, plays with passion and intensity, has the killer instinct, and is cocky but not to a point where it will harm his team. He thinks he's better than you and he'll exploit it. Duncan is phenominal, but doesn't have that attitude about him, he's a bit too passive for my liking.
-
Duncan has always been great but I would take KG in his prime over him.
-
LOL Duncan easily
-

Prime KG ain't better than prime TD ... no way
-
And Dirk shouldn't be in any PF/Big conversation ... he's a 7 foot SG
-

who averages like 8 rebounds a game

I'd say he was. KG was tutored by one of the best players ever, Kevin McHale, starting at age 18. guy was ATLEAST an equal to the great Tim Duncan.
imagine if KG had David Robinson to play with lol

Any 7 footer will get a respectable amount of rebounds with Dirk playing time ... unless your name is Bargnani :laugh:

or Scalabrine lol
but I still say Dirk is a PF...i see SOME people list him at center just due to his size
-
KG hands down, consistent mid range sharpshooter, amaziing post game, monster above the rim, one of the best defensive players to play. hes just sick, duncan is too bland, hes great one of the best ever but boring and i like PFs that have that long midrange seems like he only takes those 15 footers atmost and still needs to bank them
-
Duncan has more rings than KG.
I have to sit here everyday & listen to this bullshit how "Kobe has more rings than LeBron"; therefore, I better hear that Duncan is without a doubt better than KG.
*waits for - "Well at least KG has a ring"*
YEAH? Well where did he win it? WITH TWO OTHER ALL-STARS? Surprise, surprise; so now I don't want to hear it when LeBron wins his this year. ::)
-
once Lebron has a ring under his belt he'd automatically surpass Kobe in greatness

Deal. :)

If you want to hear Duncan is better than KG, then just tune into ESPN or TNT during a Spurs broadcast, because they will repeat that Duncan is the best PF of all-time at least once every single game.

timmy of course
he's already surpassed the mail man
-
YEAH? Well where did he win it? WITH TWO OTHER ALL-STARS?
Actually...two other HOF'ers
-
Tim Duncan is the answer to the thread's question definitely.
Its just a shame that Tim Duncan is also one of the dullest great great players to ever grace the NBA.

Sure...if your definition of exciting is high flying dunks...behind the back passes...crossovers....you know...that kind of shit. lol

Timmy and it's not close. In his time with the Spurs, he easily made them the best franchise not in LA or Boston, and I mean of all time in the NBA. KG won in Boston, poor Dirk just ain't there, but Timmy is better than Malone, not even close.
side note, my personal all time team
PG - Magic
SG - MJ
SF - Dr. J (lots of argument on this one, Baylor, Bird, Pippen, but Dr. J to me never get the credit he deserves. Of course IF LeBron ever lives up to his billing, he'd settle the argument the same way Jordan did SG.)
PF - Big Fundamental
C - Bill Russell
