You know what, in looking at the stats, Duncan can't even begin to touch Olajuwon, especially in the block category. As an undersized center (Olajuwon was about 6-9, Duncan is 6-11), Olajuwon still averaged over 3 blocks per game, and averaged over 4 blocks 3 times. Duncan has some serious catching up to do if he wants to be mentioned against Olajuwon.

Yes, he was. At the most, he was 6'10", but that's it. He wasn't anything above that.Comment

Re: Duncan vs Olajuwon
Originally posted by Taur3asi3He could play inside, outside, and along the perimeter, he had the best foot work of any big i've ever seen, he was great on defense, he could block shots very well, he had the skills and handles/passing ability of a guard. And he destroyed all 3 of his contemporaries in the span of about a year when he obliterated Ewing, Robinson (which was embarassing), and Shaq in the playoffs during the 2 title runs. Its all personal opinion but i'd take him over Kareem, Wilt, Shaq, Russell, Reed, Thurmond, Gilmore, Ewing, Robinson, and ofcourse Duncan.Last edited by HardwoodHeisman; 06-29-2005, 01:40 PM.Comment

Re: Duncan vs Olajuwon
Funny about that Rockets Spurs series. Yeah Hakeem dominated, but it took Horry to get them the wins. Dennis Rodman simply refused to play D, it was a joke. And the Spurs rarely doubled Hakeem. Great performance but there's more to that series that makes it so annoying for me to think about.Comment
