!ron HorSe · 05-02-2006, 02:41 PM

Duncan is not in his prime, the numbers show it.

WallaB33z · 05-02-2006, 02:43 PM

^^ I'm not sure if Dunan is top 5 now, but he should be in his prime. He's been playing hurt all season and if you look at the decrease of his mpg then he's averaging his normal careers numbers.

Nah, you can say the same for Shaq and we ALL know his NOT in his prime. The only reason why Duncan is dominated is because Manu and Parker picked up some of the tab. And sharpshooters like Finley, barry, and horry play they role on the team well.

sketch566 · 05-02-2006, 03:47 PM

when u say big men, i think centers. duncan's not a center he's a pf. yeah he's 7 feet but so is dirk and kg, but they're not brought up.

!ron HorSe · 05-02-2006, 04:00 PM

Russell was 6'9 215.

duncan and shaq have a lrage age diffrence..

and the main reason for parker and manus success is tim duncan.

a healthy duncan is by far the best player in basketball today.

with less help throughout his carrer he has the same amount of rings as shaq and has more mvps and still has chance at more be serious homie dont ever try and downplay duncan.

Let me tell you real quick because you're obviously a very confused person. First off, Prime has nothing to do age. It's when your at, what people refer too as "your pinnacle of your game" The stage when you played the best. It has nothing to do with what potential you have, at your prime you have reached your potential.

Second, Duncans numbers are the lowest it's ever been, he's not at his peak form which is why he's past his prime.

Let me leave you with a quote from the great Bill Simmons and let it digest, settle, and sink in.

"In many ways, this isn't his greatest season -- thanks to his Phil Plantieritis or whatever it's called, he couldn't move laterally, couldn't get any lift, wasn't getting as many putbacks, had trouble filling the lane on fast breaks, never looked even remotely comfortable -- and yet, his team kept winning and his numbers didn't look much different than normal. You can't judge a great athlete until he's playing hurt, and in Duncan's case, his consistency was almost heroic. But he wasn't nearly as dominant, and I watched too many Spurs games in which he wasn't even the fifth-best player on the court. So I can't call him an MVP candidate. With many regrets."

If it isn't his best season why would he be in his prime?

Iceodu921 · 05-02-2006, 07:37 PM

i off year doesnt mean a player has left his prime..

and age does something to do with your prime since their are prime years were body and exipernce usually wield best succes for players..

now duncan's injury isnt carrer threatning, basically everyones diagonse for him getting better is rest. He didnt get much rest this offseason so that's what he needs to get back to being tim duncan.

ill put money on duncan having a bounce back year.
