Why isn't TD great? I don't know if I would put him up there with Jordan, Magic, Bird, Wilt, ect, but right now I think he is a great baller.

i said it! shit, its obvious that he deserves it. And if anyone can call Shaq a great player...n doubt Duncan, theyre fukin nutz. Ok yah, Shaq has got him on tha size....but skillwise...there is NOOOOOOOO comparison! Look at tha moves that Duncan can do. His versatility with either hand. He can square up, post up, put tha ball on tha ground and drive by u. Tha fade away to tha left or right. tha hook with either hand. Bank tha ball in frum 10-15 feet. Play D on a center, or a point guard. increased his free throw percentage frum 60% lass year...to 80% this year (would LUV to see shaq do that lol!). And can occasionally run tha fast break. Shit, he aint GREAT....LOL! Jokez...

yah, well if u measure by statisticz (all statz combines) at all..hes number 1 in tha league. People jus dont like him (like u said) cus hes not flash. But fundamentally, no big man in tha league...since i dont know WHEN, can touch him. Hez basically unstoppable when hes on.

In my opinion Kidd is more valuable to Nets than Duncan is to Spurs......So if it is Kidd vs Duncan as MVP, then Kidd should win it......

if u wanna see Duncans worth to the spurs. Check out game 3....game 4...and game 5 against tha sonics. Game 3..they killed em, up by 27 in tha first half. Game 4, without duncan, they lost by 12...but were down by close to 30 in tha first half. Game, 5...with duncan back...blowout, up by well over 20 durin tha game. Alotta experts who have explained this (soundin like Jake LOL), say that if Kidds team, was considered better then tha Spurs, he would have won it. But Duncans team did better...so that pushed him over the top.

jason kidd


and if you want to throw the shaq vs duncan thing into account


how many times has shaq packed duncan compard to duncan packing a HURT shaq----size ain't got nothing to do with it


i love it how shaq hurt or not, can and has put the moves on duncan (with his footwork) more times than duncan has----size ain't got nothing to do with it


when they both go up for a reboud....i love it how a fat dude like shaq whose ONLY half an inch taller than duncan can get a rebound over duncan

and shaq's won the battle of the tip offs


i love it how duncan gets most of his points off of horry and walker, and only few outside shots against shaq,lol


0-10, in game 1 first quarter...ouch


those are facts,lol

do u luv tha way Shaq never seems to play well against tha spurs? Or how about the way Shaq manages to travel on every single play because hes too clumsy to face-up, or do any other move in tha post other then try to back someone down? Maybe the way he shoots under 60% frum tha line on tha regular, when Duncan (who shot 60% last year) shoots 80% now? What about tha fact that tha lakers supposedly have tha better supporting cast (then tha spurs) yet, when Robinson was out...Duncan still lead tha team to a win in game 2? Or tha way most of Shaqs points havent even come against Duncan...but rather, Malik Rose, Bryant, or a hurt Robinson? hmmm...Shaq does dunk tha ball better then Duncan...ok...thas ONE for Shaq lol. I actually like shaq, even if i dont like tha lakers. And hes a very tuff player to defend. BUT, to compare him to Duncan on a "skill" basis...is ridiculous. Im sorry to tell u, but size is EVERYTHING when it comes to Shaq. If he wasnt that big, with tha type of moves he has...he wouldnt even start in this league. He'd be Chris Dudley, Eric Montross, Luke Longley (wait, longley could shoot tha 10ft jumper lol).
