Which Player would you choose?

Subject: Which Player would you choose? Sun Aug 23, 2009 10:16 pm

Pretend neither player has rings and neither have ever played in the playoffs.

Player 1 career stats- 25 PPG, 10.1 RPG, 3.6 APG, .8 BPG, 1.4 SPG, .516% shooting.

OR

Player 2 career stats-21.4 PPG, 11.7 RPG, 3.2 APG, 2.7 BPG, .8 SPG, .501% shooting.

player 1.

OFFENSE> DEFENSE

You can easily TEACH a great offensive player defense. It's VERY difficult to teach a defensie player offense

player two is a bit more productive wit his blocks and rebounds, and assuming these are both big men(they are judging from stats) I take player two.

Subject: Re: Which Player would you choose? Sun Aug 23, 2009 10:21 pm

player 2 assuming both are F/C. He rebounds better and blocks more shots. he probably saves more than those 4 points in the course of a game.

Subject: Re: Which Player would you choose? Sun Aug 23, 2009 10:33 pm

I would take Player 1 because i'd rather him score more points and assists because those are more important than blocks

assists with a big man are more important than blocks and rebounds?

Duncan over Malone any day.

Subject: Re: Which Player would you choose? Sun Aug 23, 2009 10:36 pm

Player 1 is Karl Malone, Player 2 is Tim Duncan. Yes I figured that out Razz

.

Since I know who both players are now, I choose player 1 (Karl Malone) because since neither has a ring, Player 1 is better judging by his stats.

I KNEW it was two players...

I just couldn't figure it out..

Subject: Re: Which Player would you choose? Sun Aug 23, 2009 10:39 pm

Sweet, I voted for player two (I am not lying; admins can even check and confirm if they like Razz

) so my Spurs bias did not play a factor in my opinion. Very Happy

I didn't see he comments before I voted, but If it was Karl Malone, man he is crazy good. I didn't see him play though Sad

If you have bad defense (whether or not the offense is good), the opposing team will score on you over 90% of the time. If you have good defense and work on your offense, you will have balanced, and win. Yet like Blazers Dolphins Oilers says, "are you just going to let the other team get abucket to get the ball back?"

Subject: Re: Which Player would you choose? Mon Aug 24, 2009 5:21 pm

Defense>Offense,Duncan's defense is rated as one of the greatest that the league ahs ever seen and yet he's underrated

I take Duncan because of his defense and plus smart shot selection

Subject: Re: Which Player would you choose? Mon Aug 24, 2009 5:22 pm

Jordan (considerably the GOAT, dont mess with this AW Razz

) had amazing defense (alhough Pippen was better at it Razz

). He still had amazing defense. Magic, had great defense (not DPOY great or anything, but he had great defense), same with Robertson. And then you have Chamberlain, Duncan, Jabbar, Russell, Olajuwon, Bryant, O'Neal, Baylor, Bird, West, and all these greats who were great defensive players. Which is better, Tim Duncan and KG or Dirk? TD or KG would win, they are all around greatness

Subject: Re: Which Player would you choose? Mon Aug 24, 2009 5:23 pm

Oh snap! That's duncan over malone!!!! I would choose Malone than... Because he gets more points. Like the first guy said OFFENSE > DEFENSE

Subject: Re: Which Player would you choose? Mon Aug 24, 2009 7:28 pm

Defense>Offense

Sorry to say that but Russell,the best defender in the NBA had good offense,Hakeem was great defender and he had good offense,MJ,Magic,Kareem,Roberston,Duncan,Shaq....yes all of them

Subject: Re: Which Player would you choose? Mon Aug 24, 2009 7:35 pm

I would choose player 2 cause the blocked shots stat stands out

Still in reality when comparing duncan and malone stats are kinda useless and dont really give us a feel for both of them.

Its hard to know tht duncan has better post defence,malone is a better pick&roll player,duncan is a better post player,etc.

Subject: Re: Which Player would you choose? Mon Aug 24, 2009 7:36 pm

Duncan's defense is by far better,he's a lot better at rebounding,shot blocking and post scoring.Malone had a good PG to make him look great,Timmy made all around him better.He's a winner in his DNA

I take defense>offense so Duncan

Subject: Re: Which Player would you choose? Mon Aug 24, 2009 7:42 pm

In all honesty duncan is one of the best defenders of all time,better leader/teammate and one of the greatest post scorers.

Malone is one of the best scorers,pick and roll player,athletic player.

Malone is a pick n'rolll player who can;t be good without a dominating PG in his team

HAHA...Is this a joke? Malone would be no good without a dominating PG? No way. He had great post moves and high bball IQ. He would do just fine wihout dominating PG

I think Malone was a terrific player and scorer. He was a master and getting space to hit his signature 16 foot fall away jumper. The guy was 6-9, and a deadly mid-range shooter. But if a guy committed to his jumper he could easily blow by them or back them down into the paint for 2.

Malone is a great player, one of the best PFs ever.
