Is there a guard-version of Tim Duncan?

[Asukal]

Stockton as others have said. Fundamental basketball, tough as nails, not flashy but effective, team player.

[IncarceratedBob]

Pierce is a ghetto thug, personality not like TD at all

[choppermagic]

John Stockton and Mark Price. Got the job done, super efficient, fundamentally sound, not flashy.

[unbreakable]

there is no guard with the combination of offensive and DEFENSIVE dominance that duncan brings to the table..

MAYBE RONDO.. but thats the closest it gets.. Rondo is an all time offensive team player and a great defender who has shutdown kobe in the finals before..

duncan is an ANCHOR.. rondo is an ANCHOR.. its close

You just described Kobe Bryant except for being efficient and fundamentally sound.

I was literally about to say Mark Price. Beat me to it

Dennis Johnson is another guy you could add to the list.

To me the best example is Oscar and Joe Dumars. Moncrief, Mark Price, Gary Payton would be close if his style wasn't so different. I would also include Chris Paul. At shooting guard there aren't that many... West and Paul George maybe.

Oscar Robertson

but also throw in michael jordan's competitive intensity

Jordan's competitive intensity oo(s)ed out of him. Duncan's intensity is barely seen, sobeit, very high. The only other player, that immediately comes to mind that reeked intensity like Jordan was KG, who looked extremely different than Duncan because of that quality.

Yeah, stylistically Oscar used the least amount of flair possible, he made a deliberate effort in his time not to look like a "globetrotter". But as far as the intensity and highly aggressive body language before/during/after say, a tough drive inside, well the player who comes to mind is Jordan.

That would be an interesting topic. Who manifested that drive to attack every opportunity or as you say the "highly aggressive body language."
