Man...
As much as I hate it...And when I say hate it, man do I hate it...But...
How can I go against Tim Duncan..? I think he's gay, I hate that he isn't an emotional player...But I'll be damn if he wont' double double your ass to sleep...He's got range...Good moves...He's not a pushover defensively...I don't think there is much room to oust him...
My heart wants to pick Chuck Barkley...But we all know Chuck was just a freak athlete playing the 4, with a 1's height...Others will jab on about Karl Malone maybe...And that is a solid pick...But he has never rebouded like Duncan does, and is not a shot block threat...
And anybody else is talented, but young, so there goes your Amare's...Like KG, but he can't get it done..Gotta go w/Duncan...

Chuck?? lmao...I don't think I've ever heard anyone call him Chuck.
Duncan is that man. Yea he isn't emotional but he gets the job done extremely well

What about Chris Webber? lmao.
Amare is coming on VERY strong...and I hate it because I think he's just a kid who can dunk the ball and nothing more...but what did he average in the playoffs...45ppg?

Amare was a beast in the Playoffs...And like I mentioned in my little spill, he is not to be passed over...He just doesn't have enough dirt under his nails to be the GOAT, but he certainly has the tools...
Statistically, he own3d Duncan in the Playoffs, and got let down by his outside shooters...

Amare deserves to be mentioned but not yet. As A said, he doesn't have that much background. Give him a couple more years and then he'll be in this discussion.
I love Amare...he's on of my favorite players but not worth this yet

Duncan. Greatness means what you've accomplished, and he has 3 rings, all spearheaded by him.

Malone never won a championship.....so he's not great huh?

What about Marino though? Great QB, Hall of Famer, best of his time yet he never won a Super Bowl. Does that mean he's not great?

Hmm...According to some, being able to swing a stick and hit a ball a measly 4 out of 10 times consistently across the board means you're not great either...
I wonder where I got that...? /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
