he has Tim Duncan over LeBron? He can get mumped. But I like listening to him talk nonetheless.

Tim Duncan was great but he had a million times more help than LeBron has had overall

I don't like it when people call Duncan the "best power forward of all time" because he definitely played the center position.

LeBron is still in his prime so comparing him to retired (or soon to be retired) players is dumb.

Miami?  Also, one of the reasons he didn't have help in Cleveland pt 1 is because Lebron tries to play GM too much.  Lebron the player is very good.  Lebron the GM is not.

All of that said, Duncan vs Lebron debate isn't settled yet.

Yes the 4 years he was in Miami he had help and look what happened. The time in Cleveland before, none. Which is why I put the 'overall' qualifier in there. 

Imagine what LeBron could have done with the role players that Duncan had his whole career

lol, Lebron has passed him on MVP's in fewer seasons. Of course he can touch that resume.

Duncan has the lead on all NBA second teams though.

should i have gotten his list of accomplishments from another source and then typed them out myself?  tell me, i want to get better.

unfortunately for lebron in these types of discussions, people care more about championships than mvps.  which they should.

Duncan being on the All NBA 3rd team in 2015 was a joke.

Robert Horry was a journeyman. Tim Duncan had a team built around him.

Yeah, I guess number of championships isn't the best metric for determining a player's greatness.
