Is Tim Duncan the worst NBA star to international player of all time?

[Bodhi]

I'm curious, has any NBA superstar performed as poorly as Duncan did at his peak in the Olympics? Widely considered the best player in the NBA and was completely shut down by international front courts

[tanner892]

you sound mad

[stalkerforlife]

Was he on the team with Bron that disgraced the USA and brought home a bronze?

In international competitions more generally, under FIBA rules, a number of players would be and were less effective.

Dwight's impact has been poorer under FIBA rules. I remember also the 2002 team on the WC in Indianapolis. Nobody really stood out, except maybe for Paul Pierce. It was a team of all star and borderline all star players that lost to Argentina, Yugoslavia and Spain.

Duncan was almost a non-factor on the 2004 Olympics, I've seen him. And he was at his peak. He looked like an ordinary player.

Iverson was also bleak, as was Marbury and they were Team USA's most efficient players (14, 13 and 10 pts in average, respectively). It was a solid team with Melo, Bron and Wade after their rookie years, Odom, Okafor, Stoudamire, Boozer, Richard Jefferson... But the Argentinians and Lithuanians took care of them.

I remember also in Sidney in 2000, USA had a supernaturally talented team and did win the gold, but they still struggled against a depleted Lithuania (barely won) and France in the finals. VC averaged 14 points and Garnett 10. I guess they weren't really in shape and didn't take it seriously enough.

It was only after Coach K took them in 2006 and lost to Greece in the semis that team USA took international competition seriously and started really preparing that the Americans reclaimed primacy on international competitions. Now you have team perfectly suited for FIBA rules every two years and nobody can touch them, especially since international teams are in decline due to lack of top talent.

Duncan sabotaged the olympics his "country" is considered a country in the Olympics so he was ashamed to be playing for USA so he wrecked us in favor of his own teammate getting the glory

[Trollsmasher]

yes

his fundamentals are too weak for international competition

rookie Lebron, Wade and Melo are the cause?

[Kiddlovesnets]

It was not his fault, they had two cancers on the team, Allen Iverson and Stephen Marbury. You are in serious trouble if you get one cancer, and two cancers will definitely kill.

[Lebron23]

Duncan admitted he hated playing under the fiba rules that's why he never wore a team usa jersey again.

the main advantage tim duncan has in the NBA is that he's much smarter and more fundamentally sound than 95% of the players.

so its a cake walk outsmarting all the ghetto types who only relied on athleticism their whole lives.

When he went to Europe that strategy aint work anymore.

I remembered him getting out rebounded by Duenas who looks like an older version of Boban.

It was Lebron, he won two bronze medals

He actually won gold as the leader of the team in 2012 so he’s automatically over Duncan

Wade and Kobe were the leaders in 2008 and 2012.

You are honestly the worst troll in ISH history. I’ve never seen someone this inept at trolling. It’s shocking how bad you are at trolling. You are the troll equivalent of Nickleback.
