Re: Best Big Men to Ever Play the Game
Also worth noting. To win those two titles, Hakeem had to go up against Patrick Ewing and Shaq in their primes in the finals. In the Spurs three championships Duncan has had to contend with a frontcourt of Kurt Thomas and an aging declining Patrick Ewing with the help of David Robinson, Jason Collins, and Ben Wallace.
Hakeem during his career had to match up with the likes of Shaq, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Mark Eaton, Moses Malone, and probably even more that I'm forgetting all in their primes. The only top big men in their primes Duncan has ever had to face are Shaq and Garnett. And yet Hakeem still comes out looking better on the stat sheet.
