Can anyone match Tim Duncan's consistency?

No matter the season, no matter the rule changes, no matter what offensive system, no matter if the offense is being ran through him or handed over to Tony Parker, no matter the pace...you can always count on Tim Duncan to bring you 18/11 production every single night.

His Per36 numbers have been the same throughout his entire career, truly one of the most amazing feats in NBA history.

Karl Malone?

He's also one of the last few guys who knows how to utilize the backboard. His midrange bankshot is killer.

Magic Johnson

Derek Fisher

The thing that Tim should be commended for the most is his consistency and excellent fundamentals. But on the flip side, when you compare his peak to other great big men such as Wilt, Dream, Kareem, Shaq and Ewing his peak is probable the least impressive.

Well said and good point. Timmy is a legend either way though.

I'm not even going to go into detail on how absurd it is to compare raw stats from the 00's to that of the 70s/80s. Even going back to the 90's is somewhat difficult because of rules changes (I might devote a thread on this later.)

Shaq, I'll give you, but considering he was the most dominant offense force the league had ever seen, it's not much of a knock on Duncan. So much of what Duncan contributes doesn't translate to mixtapes/fantasy/nba2k so it flies under the radar. Incredible defender, incredible rebounder, great passer, very good scorer... AND is the definition of a big game player. We can try to break anyone's game down all day, but few (if any) players in the history of the NBA bring that entire package at his position.

Who said anything about raw stats? And anyone who saw all of these guys play will tell you that Duncan's peak was not better than the peak that these guys had.

I say Karl Malone and then Timmy.

Absolutely. Some ppl like l3bron just overrate Tim to the point where it becomes mythical.

Calling one of the most consistent players of all time "consistent" is overrating him now.

This ****ing board....

"Anyone" doesn't have to post here. It's still remains a fact that his peak was not better than the bigs that I've stated.

U calling Shaq the most dominant force is asinine. Like him or not, Wilt is in a category by himself when it comes to individual dominance in the NBA.

He's a legend. He's consistent. He's a winner. That's it.

Nothing about his game is transcending nor dominant.

Go into detail how Tim Duncan's peak wasn't as good as any of the bigs you listed. Especially Ewing, I can't wait to see the **** you pull with this one. Hopefully it matches the level of stupidity your "Kobe was as good as Duncan defensively" comment reached.

Why was Wilt more dominant than Shaq? What is your basis for this belief?

This was a thread praising Tim Duncan's consistency until you came in gracing the ignorant masses with strokes of brilliance like "Shaq and Wilt are good at basketball."

Why don't you start your own thread where you can build up and burn down your own strawmen in peace? Get your nonsense out of my thread.

What's the best way to avoid a question you're unable to answer?

Completely dodge it and ask your own question. Not very subtle but we get the picture.
