Avery

@devyntyo @vkillem @jjmaples55 Can’t stand people who say shit like this but don’t actually have an argument that refutes my point. Say something of substance

@asimmon93 @vkillem @jjmaples55 This is a terrible argument to make lol

these arguments are always using current era metrics to compare players who played in an era where teams did not evaluate or optimize players based on those metrics always been silly to me

@devyntyo @vkillem @jjmaples55 You don’t know shit

@Itz_not_a_race @jjmaples55 Because you’re reducing it to Shaq vs Parker & Ginobli and i think that’s silly. Duncan had about as good of a supporting cast/front office as you can possibly have. He gets discussed as if he carried them for 20 years, no. He had help. A lot of it.

@asimmon93 @jjmaples55 🤣🤣. You said you dont understand why he gets a pass with teammates, I give you a main reason. Your response is youbrefuse to accept and entertain the idea.

Laughing at this KG/Duncan discussion man yall gotta stop It's the same angle yall do with Steph about the "system".. Duncan wasn't a beneficiary from the system, he WAS the system

@whateverbs99 KD and Kawhi are in different stratospheres all time in terms of accolades, still think kawhi is better at basketball

Tim Duncan led the San Antonio Spurs to 5 NBA Championships in 3 different decades. In 2002-03 he carried without a doubt his worst supporting cast to a title, that 03 team had zero business getting past the 2nd round. KG wasn’t doing that level of carrying to a title Tim Duncan has 2 MVP’s to KG’s 1 MVP. Duncan was selected to 15x All-Defensive teams during his career, an NBA record and was ROBBED of DPOY in 2007. Duncan & KG are in two different stratosphere on all-time scale. Stop this nonsense, you just think KG is more aesthetically pleasing to watch

@Itz_not_a_race @jjmaples55 That’s intellectually lazy. I refuse to engage with this

@asimmon93 @jjmaples55 Most of the time the debate centered around Duncan vs Kobe. That means if we comparing teammates, its Shaq/Gasol vs Parker/Manu.

@Itz_not_a_race @jjmaples55 If you were old enough around that time then what I’m saying isn’t far fetched enough to have to prove anything. This is not a debatable topic. They were elite guards. 2 of the best of their generation. Why are you arguing with me.

@asimmon93 @jjmaples55 At what point? We're either top 5? Which years for each player?

@marclamonthill This is old af

Road rage fights are ridiculous. Stay in your car! Glad that the guy defending himself tried to help his attacker afterward.

@hoops_meta @jjmaples55 You told me that i think they’re better than they actually are, i proceed to point out how they had 2 guards that were hall of fame level good, and you chose to argue with that.

@asimmon93 @jjmaples55 The convo is specifically about in the mid 2000s cuz it revolves around KG and Duncan. There’s no way you legit thought I was saying TP wasn’t good AT ALL 😭😭

@BL4TINO @hoops_meta @jjmaples55 Thanks for clearing that up lmao

@asimmon93 @hoops_meta @jjmaples55 2nd team means he wasn't better than the guy winning league MVPs which was Tim.

@hoops_meta @jjmaples55 That doesn’t change the fact that Tony Parker was all nba second team 4 times which means he’s elite at his position. So what the fuck are you arguing about. He wasn’t as good as Jason Kidd Steve Nash or CP3, no shit. Lmao. 3 of the top 10 point guards ever.

@asimmon93 @jjmaples55 Tony Parker wasn’t in those talks man. It’s okay to be wrong. Great finisher. Wasn’t that spectacular at anything else however. And he losing all these accolades you named to all the players I named. Didn’t start making all NBA teams til those guys got old and retired

@hoops_meta @jjmaples55 Making all nba second team means you are top 3-5 at your position btw

@hoops_meta @jjmaples55 I don’t care what you’re saying to me in 2026. I was there. When Tony Parker was at his best, he was a top 3-5 player at his position. You are arguing for the sake of arguing. I’m a Lakers fan. Stop bringing up other hall of fame point guards. I don’t care.

@hoops_meta @jjmaples55 When Tony Parker was at his peak, he was minimum top 3 at this position. And if you disagree you’re a child. Simple as that

@hoops_meta @jjmaples55 Tony Parker was the finals mvp in 2007. He was considered to be a top 5 point guard in the world. All nba team 4 times. Which means, he’s in the discussion. And the Rip Hamilton thing only proves my point. All star caliber. Except Ginobli was even better than Hamilton

@hoops_meta @jjmaples55 Tony Parker was arguably the best point guard in the world at one point and Ginobli was going toe to toe with Kobe but sure

@asimmon93 @jjmaples55 His teammates do get credit. Y’all just think they better than what they actually were

Talking all that shit with the calves of a flamingo

@BSolomonsHood @SnottieDrippen

@SnottieDrippen you think I be trippin when I say Al Gore is going to take this ish back.
