Question

Tim duncan or amare stoudimire?

Answer 1

Definetly Duncan....... Duncan can hold his own Amare can't.

Answer 2

Duncan is the best PF of all-time an is the most fundamentally sound. He is better than Amare (the most dynamic PF)  and Dirk (The best shooting PF)  and KG (the most versatile PF). Here is a major reason why.

Duncan - 4x champion, 2x MVP, 3x Finals MVP

KG - 1X champion, 1X MVP, 1X Defensive Player of Year

Dirk - 1X MVP

Amare - 0 (Still a long ways 2 go, but with TD, Dirk, KG in the league it will be hard for him 22 reach their accolades.

This is why Duncan is great 2. He took an aging superstar who went from a 70 point game scorer to a mere 15 (still good) but The Admiral was bound never to win and he took him and the Spurs in the Finals in 99' and won. Look at the team.

PG. Avery Johnson

SG. Sean Elliott

SF. Mario Elie

PF. Tim Duncan

C. David Robinson

6. Jaren Jackson

7. Steve Kerr

8. Jerome Kersey

9. Antonio Daniels - Not much playing time

10. Malik Rose

11. Will Perdue

12. Gerard King

*Can either of those afforementioned PF's take that aging team to the Finals and not only take them but win it as well.

Answer 3

Amare Stoudemire is better than Duncan because he is more athletic than Tim.

Answer 4

The Big Fundamental

Answer 5

tim duncan got a good shot for his position

Answer 6

Tim Duncan is definitely much better.  First and foremost, he is a team leader, unlike Amare who needs Steve Nash.

Duncan has proven that he can win even with a variety of different players around him.  In 1999 he had Avery Johnson, Jaren Jackson, Sean Elliott, David Robinson and Mario Elie around him.  In 2003 he had Tony Parker, Stephen Jackson, Bruce Bowen, David and Manu.   Two more titles later were won with different supporting benches.

Also, we cannot say that Amare is younger and will catch up.  Duncan won finals MVP his SECOND year in the league.  Amare has a better supporting cast (think about it, they won fifty games WITHOUT Amare) and is still doesn't have any rings to show for it.

Amare is more athletic, but athleticism without brains and heart don't mean squat.  Michael Jordan once said (I forgot where exactly, sorry) that the most athletically talented Bulls team he had ever played on was his FIRST Bulls team (with Orlando Woolridge and others).  However, he also said that it was the dumbest in terms of not having any heart and brains.  The 90s Bulls were not the most talented teams, but they definitely played the best.

Duncan has more skills, (you think that pick and rolls and bank shots are boring? try practicing them!) is a better leader, a better defender and brings more intagibles to the table.  Amare is more athletic.

Therefore, Tim Duncan.

Answer 7

Amare Stoudemire is better than Ducan. Amare is young, and explosive. Ducan is old, and boring. Amare has been a Allstar since he been in the league. Ducan won a few awards but put in mind that he is much older. Amare is young and has a long way to go. They way he has been playing, he could very well be better than Ducan. Amare is stronger, faster, much more talented. Ducan is slow, boring, and most of his shot is off the backboard. You can't say it's b/c of the team b/c they are both on elite teams. Plus Ducan is g*y. Amare is always giving to the community and always doing charity. I never herd Ducan doing squat. Ducan is suppose to be a PF but can't shoot from long range,(don't bring that c**p that he hit that 3 point shoot, they left him wide open and it was a mircle shot, let him do it again...air ball) Amare has range and if he adds a 3 point range to his game, unstoppable. Amare is a best, Ducan is a wuss, a mama's boy.

Answer 8

Duncan, but lets not over shadow the coach, w/o popavich, the spurs dont win those titles.  But lets get away fron titles and records ect.... the better player is.....

Fundamentaly-Tuncan

Athletically-Amare

Jump shot-tie (Amare's Jumper is alot better now)

Post-Duncan

Pick and Roll-Amare

D-Duncan

and the main thing to really seperate the 2 is .....

Heart-Duncan.  Thats y he is better now and one of the best all time.  You cant measure there heart and how hard they play every minuet of the game.

P.S. to the guy above me who said Gerald wallace is the most athletic person in the game, i think Josh Smith edges him out lol

Answer 9

Amare no questions asked

Answer 10

That guy up there that said Amare was better than Duncan is out of his mind. You can't base goodness on athleticism alone. By that standard, Gerald Wallace would be the greatest player to ever play.

Duncan is better by far. No coach in the NBA would take Amare over Duncan. Duncan is a 3-time Finals MVP and 4-time NBA Champ for a reason. He's got everything a big man needs and then some. That jump shot, the post moves, the defense. And he is just about the most clutch player in the league. His ability to get the job done is amazing. Of any player in the league, Duncan is the most productive in terms of what he gets done on the court, and that's not just measured by the numbers. Duncan plugs up every hole the Spurs would have without him.

Duncan's going to the Hall of Fame, Amare as good as he is has nothing.

Answer 11

Dirk is better than both of them, but I would take Duncan over Amare, who was Amare before Nash got there...

Duncan without Ginobli or Robinson or elliot or parker or the lists goes on, , he has no titles w/o them, but  Duncan is  a better shooter than  Amare.
