Re: LeBron v Duncan
[QUOTE=tpols;13951418]Old man Duncan shit on him time and time again....
not even the prime or peak version.
He's the ultimate H2H trump card vs LeBron's rim running. Defensive intuition too strong.
Like scissors versus paper.[/QUOTE]
duncan and lebron arent even rivals. their teams just played a couple of times. lebron overall was superior in those series as the finals MVP count shows (1 finals MVP for lebron, zero for duncan - lebron was better in 2013 and 2014)

Duncans team won in a sweep, and 4-1 biggest Finals ass who0ping of all time. (differential wise)
Lebron's team won by a hair once. 1 single shot away from 3-0.
This was old Duncan vs Peak Bran.
It's not even close...

dude Im a dwade stan and my boy had me on the verge of tears watching that shit live because he got so many shots drilled in his eye it was painful... the heat defense got sliced harder than anything I've seen in my life...
the heat got destroyed by superior ball-movement and excellent shot-making - lebron actually was ready to ball and win them the chip that year...

Re: LeBron v Duncan
the difference is that when lebron won he actually carried his team to even get to that point - the heat had big names but they relied on him HEAVILY- he did almost everything for that team and dwade is a smart guy who noticed that... hence why he said you need to take these reigns if we want a chance to win after 2011...
lo and behold: back-to-back rings plus another finals appearance...

Re: LeBron v Duncan
thats always been the biggest problem with Lebron. He limits ball movement and ball dominant star power around him.
the 2013 bron/wade splits evidence this more than anything. Wade was BALLING in that series, yet Lebron would fare better with a 40 YO spot up whoever.
Tim Duncan never had such problems with anybody. Long term teamwork is why the spurs took such a do0k on the over manned Heat.

:roll:
wrong. the heat had only two problems - zero bigs and weak pointguards.
they signed up for that shit when they gave their entire cap to three players so no sympathy there - lebron is undoubtedly what made those teams great. they were the best perimeter defense in the league because of defensive dogs like bron wade and battier.

Re: LeBron v Duncan
when you have wade and lebron on the same team its almost a waste because you have the two of the most efficient balldominant players in NBA history. that was always a bad fit but the gamble worked because they got a back-to-back out of it.

Re: LeBron v Duncan
This is two MVP talents joining...
"the gamble worked"
:roll:
The Heat predicted themselves to be a not 5, not 6, not 7, dynasty.
They ended up with a losing record 5-7 vs an old spurs team in the Finals.
Are you serious bro?

i need some of what you got.[/QUOTE]
the heat definitely talked a lot of shit and deserved the mockery. thats fair game if that's your angle. you can definitely talk shit if you were a hater.
we're both basketball fans though and I know you were watching then - the perimeter dominance of those heat teams is unmatched in many ways. I know you're a lakers fan so this analogy will resonate - you can have the best perimeter defenders can have kobe and ariza or artest but if your pointguard is derek fisher there is a good chance that the other team will light you up if they attack that defender. that was the exact deal with the heat. zero bigmen. and very weak pointguards.
lebron is 1 and 0 vs duncan for finals MVPs. and overall was a better player. these are just the facts.

Lebron never faced a prime/peak Duncan. Hard to compare.

So i guess Duncan's peak was when he had the fmvps in three different championship occasions prior to their finals matchup with the cavs in 2007.
