well, first because 3/4 players mentioned HAVE SAID SO...and 2ndly as I said I watched all of them play and Duncan had a bigger impact on the games on BOTH ends of the floor than they did...and w/the exception of Barkley, he is the only one of the 5 players that accomplished what he did w/o the help of another *elite* player by his side (nope, Robinson was nowhere near an elite player when they won those two titles) > >>The fact of the matter is that of all the elite great >players >>that most ppl usually include in their top 10 or top 15 all >>time list, Duncan is w/o question the most selfless player >of >>any of them, easily.

what?????? man, just stop, please LOL. There were plenty of times when Phil would take Shaq out of the game in crucial moments for fear he would get fouled and miss both fts. > >>hell yes he is!

And since you wanna bring up >efficiency >>vis-a-vis Duncan vs Shaq, how abt the fact that Parker is a >>way more efficient scorer than Westbrook and a better passer >>and just a better team player.

Is this the same Westbrook who got *42* points dropped on him by Parker...in OKC? (so much for being the best defender at the pg position lol) I would rather have Parker and all of his so called bad defense over Westbrick anyday. Westbrick shoots a worst pct. from the floor than all the other top pgs in the league and he averages less assists too - oh, and not to mention he's known for turning the ball over because he plays out of control a lot of times. grassrootsphilosopher
