Duncan won a chip WITHOUT his HOF guards.. Shaq?.. NEVER

[GimmeThat]

so a great player won a ring without 2-peating because he had a cast of decent players and he played great himself.

another one may have had questionable work ethic yet his worst effort was winning as a 2nd option.

Duncan won in 99 with GARBAGE guards (avery, oldass sean, mario elie, LOL) and oldass D-ROB.

and dont give me the "lockout year" excuse .. Shaq had as good a chance as any to win that year! You know where Shaq was that year? Getting SWEPT by Tim Duncan 4-0.

Shaq NEVER did anything noteworthy without HOF-caliber 2guard to carry him (penny, wade, kobe)

Shaq is in my top 10, but people wanna put him top 5 , over Duncan LMAO. Not even close. Shaq lacked the mental fortitude to be a defensive anchor and clutch player that Duncan was .

Duncan 5 rings.. even without HOF guards

Ginobili and Parker are HOF locks.

Dumbass.

We all know that Duncan did more with less.






The reason is very simple :

- At the offensive end, Duncan is the closest thing to Shaq.

- At the defensive end, Duncan is the closest thing to Ben Wallace.





Duncan is the best 2 way player during the post-Jordan. On top of that, Duncan leads and inspires his teammates by example. All those things make him very easy to build around.

Tim (Duncan) was the easiest guy to play with on earth. He is super mellow and would put all the blame on him ...

Playing with Tim was easy because he is so mellow of a guy, very accommodating and he is an incredibly nice guy. He did not put any pressure on anybody.
