Who Would You Pick to Start Your NBA Team?

Garnett if I could only have one; there's no substitute for a dominant big man. Garnett is better than Duncan, and O'Neal won't be playing many more years.

 

Garnett is better than Duncan Mr. Blue??? Hmm...I bet you two championships and no first round exits that you are wrong.

 

Duncan over KG anyday...

 

I cant choose between duncan and KG but i'll go with the man with the rings.

 

KG puts up better numbers than Duncan, but TD makes his team better.

 

TD, got to be.

 

I would go with KG by a hair over Duncan. I think what puts KG over the top is his versatility in being able to play any of the 3 front court positions and his perimeter defence. But I can't argue with Duncan either.

 

Dirk!

 

KG i think he is better then duncan. he never had the help duncan has had. but we will see after this year. if the spurs do better this year then the wolves then í will change my opinion. kg does have help this year, we wil see

 

i do think it is strange that he isn't mentioned. he is one of the bette rplayers in the nba and he still is young.

 

Garnett is the best basketball player on the planet right now. He's a freak. But Duncan dominates the game in a way only a post player can do.

I love KG, but you've gotta go with Duncan at this point.

 

That's right; Garnett is just as good, if not better, offensively, and a better perimeter defender. And, he hits his free throws.

I don't buy the "rings" factor as evidence that Duncan is better than Garnett; I'd like to see how many championships Duncan would have won with Minnesota.



... and it's teal...

 

Shaq, he still is and will be for any years to come the BEST player in the NBA

 

Where's Franchise?

 

This isnt really fair to Yao as he has not even peaked yet. If we had to choose today I would choose TD he didnt have a THudson or WallyZ or even a Rasho. TD was the glue that held all of them together and it makes you wonder how KG could never make it past the first round. Maybe the first round matchups were hard but still makes you wonder.

I think Yao will become the MDE in a few years once his teammates learn how to feed him the ball where he likes it. Until then I go with TD who is consistent overall and has won 2 championships with his team.

Shaq is a dominant force who would be nice to build around. He has a proven track record of staying out of the negative headlines (which eliminates Iverson, Kidd and Kobe) and producing on the court for years (which eliminates LeBron - my #2 choice, and Yao).

Duncan seems to have no commercial appeal, and KG and TMac are great players who don't get more sponsors for some reason. Shaq has had national commercials for numerous companies, like RadioShaq. I think more players would want to play with Shaq to go for a title soon, which would help turn an expansion franchise into a powerhouse in no time.

However, if the host city for the NBA team was Shanghai, then Yao would be my man.

 

I dont care about who is the 'better player' in the all star game I want the most exciting player on the court to watch....so either Tmac or KG

 

I take TD over KG on mentality.

No doubt it's Tim Duncan!
