IMO, it's Timmy D.
He's clutch, makes his teammates better, has 4 championships, a great passer, a great defender, and has excellent footwork.
What do yall think???

    Head to head Malone in his prime would have consistently out played Duncan, but the teams Malone was on could never pull it all together. Duncan will go in the books as having accomplished more and deservedly so, but having watched both, I think Malone's game was better.

    You might want to look at the numbers. Malone used to average close to 30 pts/game and was good for at least 10 rebounds a game, and a better FT and FG %. To date he has played 500 more games also...

    I say this all the time, stats dont mean ? , I know he used to average nearly 30 points a game at some point in his career, but so what. Zach Randolph averaged more points and rebounds last the past 2 years than tim duncan. So that means he better than him. NO. Malone never showed up in big games. All them games aaginst the bulls in the final, this ? wanna shoot fadeaway jumpers from the elbow inthe biggest games instead of goin to the rim

    Barkley is teh greatest talent wise Ive seen , but Duncan hasrings and folk will use rings to make guys better than they are. Bernard king was great as well and Moses malone. Karl Malone was great as well. Duncan hasnt had Jordan stealing his rings. if Jordan never retired Olajawon, and Drexler as well as Duncans 1st ring in 99bmay not have occured

    LOL.. "stats dont mean ? " What does mean ? if the numbers in the books dont? Some arbitrary "clutch" stat that no one can track? You talking about Zach Randolph averaged more points in 2 years... I'm talking about a CAREER. Consider the ERA Malone played in, then compare the era Duncan plays in. Right now the only PF that can be mentioned with Duncan is Garnett. A POWER FORWARD averaging 25 points is unheard of in this era and Malone did it for his career. Head to head Malone would have outplayed Duncan like he did every other PF in the late 80s and 90s.

    I want to say that Malone was a better PF because I watch Malone destroy PF one on one. From Mchale to Duncan to Garnett and even Barkley. But if I had to pick a PF for a game (not evolving Malone) I will pick Duncan. Mr fundamentals is still killing cats. There is no other PF that is more clutch and also more sound than Duncan. The mailman was a beast. And if you had to sculpt a PF from a mold. I would use Malone. Duncan to me is like a better Vladi Divac. A tougher Dirk. Malone is the mold of a PF. Duncan broke the mold.

    Duncan
    Malone
    Barkley
    Mose Malone Or was he a center.
    Kevin Mchale
    Garnett

    Dennis Rodman is overrated because he could not score for ? . What did he have a 4.8 PPG average?

    I think Duncan is the best of our generation, not the best of all-time. Tim Duncan is reliable for the most quietest 20+ point and 10+ rebounds, and also can throw in a few blocks. The best moment I ever saw of Duncan was the playoff series with the Suns a couple of years ago, and they left him open on the 3-point line disrespectfully. The look on his face was priceless.

    Malone's pick and roll with Stockton was unstoppable though, and just because he hasn't won a title doesn't make him any less valuable in my eyes. He was great as well, Barkeley was the best in his generation though.

    Rodman is way to one dementional to be on anyone's list. I'd put Duncan over Malone because of the rings. Although Malone would probably have at least one ring if it wasn't for Jordan.
