Default Which 22 yr old? Timmy or Bird

I build a rejuvenation machine, and pop in Tim Duncan & Larry Bird. Out they come, and they're both now 22 yrs old. As the GM of an expansion franchise, you get to pick one.

I wanted to go Duncan, Duncan, but I'd be lying to myself. I went Duncan, Bird, and that's why I made this poll. I'm hoping that I'm not the only screwed up guy around.

Centers are more valuable than fowards. I would want the great center over the great foward.

Bird, however, is probably a greater foward than Duncan is a center.

Let's look at a more extreme example for clarity. Say you had the choice between drafting the best punter of all time or a pro-bowl QB. You would take the QB, because QBs are so much more valuable. But the punter is the greater player, because he is the best of all time at his position.

i thought people were making the decision based on popularity and Larry would sell more tickets, more jerseys, that kind of thing

I think your punter analogy is a little bit extreme. For a football comparison, I think its more like saying would you rather have a 22 year old Tom Brady or Barry Sanders.
