this means that according to yahoo sports, the spurs have 3 guys in top 10 at their position - duncan(2), ginobili(5), parker(9)
i would take k-love over amare when building a championship team. this guy is 21 and averages 18 pts/36 min, can play defense and rebound. why doesn't khan play him more? khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!
time to face the facts that gasol has become a better player than duncan. duncan is reaching his twilight years and gasol is in the middle of his prime. but gasol over dirk was kind of perplexing. should be dirk > gasol > duncan.
Stoudemire over Dirk is the worst ranking ever. Stoudemire got spoon fed by Nash.
Did you know in the playoffs that almost 50% of Stoudemire's points came off an assist from Nash (that's not including free throws).
I'm not a fan of Stoudemire because he is so athletic, yet he is not as much of a force on defense or on the boards as he could be.
what himat said
Spurs fans have to admit that's pretty generous of yahoo sports to have Duncan at 2 considering his age.
All 4 of those PF's besides Duncan have something in common, they all can't defend for .
I'm quite surprised that Duncan was put at number two. I would have thought yahoo would put Dirk over him.
And WTH? Stoudemire over Dirk?
I have to admit Gasol is number one. Timmy is the better overall player and has a better career, but Gasol is in his prime and Tim is past his.
Stoudemire... Urgh, I will never understand why people like him.
1. Dirk
2. Gasol
3. Duncan
4. Bosh
5. Love/Boozer
I think Dirk is a bit better than Gasol, but it is pretty damn close. Neither of them are great a defense and Dirk is much better on offense so...
I think Stoudemire got a better placement than Dirk simply because his team made it farther in the playoffs last season.
It's gotta be the only way.
Gasol is not a better player than Duncan. He doesn't rebound, block shots, provide resistance or physicality like Duncan. He doesn't pass out of double teams better than Duncan. Gasol is still not the best player on his team. He isn't the batman of his team like Duncan is.
It will be clearer to evaluate when Duncan plays next to another 7 foot center like Gasol and Dirk have. That center doesn't have to be good either he just needs to take up space. Remember Duncan won beside Elson, Rasho and Nazi Muhammed.
He doesn't rebound?
Amar'e just discovered how much better a player you become by playing in New York.
I think it's the water.
LOL
I would still take Dirk, Garnett, or Duncan over Gasol.
Real talk, he will show this year without Nash he is overrated. His D is lackluster and he should average atleast 2 blocks and 10 boards a game minimum.
gasol isn't that bad of a defender. actually he's pretty good, but he's easily trolled on the court, thus his "soft" reputation.
in my book, the main difference between gasol and timmy - at this point in their careers - is the fact that gasol can average more minutes per game during the regular season. last year, gasol averaged almost half pt/game, 1 reb/game and .3 blk/game more than duncan, while playing 6 MORE minutes(per game).
both are solid on defense - although gasol has the occasional slump. maybe kobe sends him dirty texts moaning about getting more touches, idk.

i don't get the stoudamire hate... the guy is a beast and i think he'll really come into his own at NY
lmao at love. I'm fine with Gasol over Duncan now although I don't always feel that's the case. I think Gasol, Duncan and Dirk are all pretty even when it's all said and done. Obviously IMO they are all a clear step above Amare.
What's the deal with Troy Murphy getting scored on in every pic?
man, how lucky did LA got...
