Career it's pretty obviously Duncan. But prime? GTFO if you pick Duncan. Prime Duncan is 2/3rds prime Walton - and that's a compliment.

Your obsession about past is truly ridicilous.

Re: Prime Walton vs Prime Duncan
Come on Bill was a Great Defender, Shot Blocker, Rebounder and Passer but he wasn`t an Offensive Force Individual Wise while Duncan was.
Duncan was Threat Offensively and Defensively. He was a Better Total Player than Walton

Are you really, truly certain?
I thought I was, until I went back and really looked at the film.
I've always held Walton up as a standard for all centers, but Duncan meets that standard in every way. He really is one of the greats.

I was only trying to elicit a few mad responses by some casual trolling but in all seriousness - no I'm not certain, both are awesome though. I'd need to look more into Bill Walton's game, but footage and break-downs of him in his prime reveals he is an extremely fundamental player with high IQ - just like Duncan

Re: Prime Walton vs Prime Duncan
Walton won against league MVP Kareem and Dr. J aka the Lebron/Jordan of his era.
After winning the championship and before he got injured, the Blazers had a 50-10 record and were on pace to match 68+ wins. They were being compared to the great Laker and Celtics teams who won 69 and 68 wins respectively.
Unfortunately, injuries kept that "dynasty" from ever occurring.
Damn. Actually, if you think about it, the Blazers have had so many "what if" teams. If Sabonis arrived in his prime/stayed healthy. If the Blazers didn't choke in the 2000 WCF. If Roy and Oden stayed healthy. This franchise would be up there with the Celts and Lakers.
