Duncan only averaged 19 10 per game in his career, why is he known as the first in NBA history?

First, what do you mean by only 19+10?Do you think the average of 19+10 per game is bad? Yao Ming is amazing, isn't it?

That's just the average per game! And Yao Ming retired at the peak, and the data was not pulled down by the data in the later part of his career, Duncan has been playing for 19 years! Duncan's peak stats are not lost to O'Neal in the slightest!

Second, Duncan's style of play is selfless, and when his teammates feel good, he lets his teammates attack. Defend yourself. And the defensive role cannot be shown by statistics. When Duncan came out and scored one after another, it meant that Parker and Ginobili had been dumbfounded, and the Spurs were already quite dangerous!

Third, if you only look at the stats and don't look at the ball, you should also question Russell first!

Tim Duncan is the No. 1 power forward in NBA history for the following reasons.

First, in terms of individual honors, Tim Duncan won the NBA championship in 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014, of which only in the 2014 NBA Finals, Tim Duncan was at the end of his career, but he still contributed a lot to the team, because the Spurs are more focused on team and defense, Tim Duncan plays a better role in the team than statistically.

Second, Tim Duncan's confrontation with his contemporaries. Tim Duncan was drafted by the Spurs in 1997 as an NBA champion, and his opponents were the Lakers with Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, as well as the 1996 ** generation, which included Allen Iverson, Maddy and Vince Carter, each of whom was a giant in his own right, because of his long career, he was also a fierce rival of the platinum generation in 2003, among which LeBron James was the most representative, and he led the team to the NBA Finals in 2007. At that time, Tim Duncan said to him, the future is yours, who would have thought that 7 years later, in the 2014 NBA Finals, Tim Duncan led the Spurs to defeat LeBron James again. Not only LeBron James, but Kobe Bryant also admitted that he won a few fewer NBA championships because of the existence of Tim Duncan.

Third, personal influence. Tim Duncan has become the representative of the Spurs, and as long as he has a backbone in the Spurs, he can build a team around him that is enough to challenge for the NBA championship, and he is very similar to LeBron James in this regard. However, LeBron James has a more well-rounded style of play and will lead his teammates, while Tim Duncan is more sacrificial and will give the ball to his teammates.

Both styles of play have merit, but LeBron James is not as focused as Tim Duncan, so the No. 1 forward position in history is Tim Duncan.

Duncan is the first in history. Duncan is undoubtedly the best power forward in history, and he is not disrespectful to others, although there are many excellent players and homestays in the entire NBA, he is indeed one of the hardest working players I have ever seen, Ken is undoubtedly the most decorated power forward, winning five championships in his career, winning two MVPs, three FMVPs, and ten All-NBA first team selections.

Yes, because his personal performance is particularly good, and he also has a special status in the NBA, he belongs to the first place.

No, there are many people who are stronger than him, and these people's abilities are relatively comprehensive.

Yes, this person can be said to be a particularly good person in the sports industry, and he has also created a lot of very good results, which has made many people particularly admired.

If you only look at the honors, yes. If you look at personal comprehensive ability, I choose the wolf king.

Duncan is the first in history, Duncan's strength is very strong, and Duncan's explosiveness on the court is also very good, which can be called the first in history.

As a team leader, the most important statistic is the win rate of the team! All other data is a floating cloud! Duncan undoubtedly crushes the other supergiants!

The reason is that Duncan sacrificed his personal data to help the team and his teammates grow! Otherwise, why would a small ball like the Spurs make the playoffs for 20 consecutive seasons.

The Spurs were a team that admired teamwork under Popovich, and the troika was more evenly distributed and functional. Duncan's characteristics are all-round, scoring, rebounding, defensive and playmaking, but Duncan's main role is to act as a defensive and organizational axis, coordinating the team's offensive and defensive system. Scoring is not his first pitch assignment.

He was the main attacker in the team's adversity. As the saying goes: Parker in good times, Duncan in adversity, and Manu in desperate times.

The team's main scoring order is Parker, Manu, Duncan. Parker is in charge of starting playmaking and breakaway small throws to score, and Manu is a tandem bench and key moments to help the team out of trouble. And Duncan exists more as a Dinghai Shenshen needle, so he sacrificed his data and offensive scenes.

Duncan mainly uses 45-degree boards and small hooks as a means of scoring, and the tactics require the main defensive rebounding, so it will be slightly inferior in terms of statistics. But Duncan's invisible presence has been felt throughout his career. So the data does not affect his greatness.

Duncan has played 19 seasons in his career, and he can average 19+10 data per game, and only "Postman" Karl Malone can match it in history. In terms of data, Malone is indeed better, but in terms of career achievements, Malone is certainly the first in the scoring list, but he is still not worthy of Duncan's 5 championships and 3 FMVPs. In fact, the No. 1 forward in NBA history has not been conclusive, and different people have different opinions.

Basketball is a turn-based game, with an average shooting percentage of around 45% across the league, and every time an opponent scores a goal, they immediately switch possession. If you get a 30 or 40 points for a star with a shooting rate of about 40%, it basically doesn't help the team at all, and if you get caught and make a few more mistakes, then the contribution to the team is basically negative.

It is because of the opponent's playing style, the opponent pays more attention to the strength of the team and pays more attention to the team's score, so he doesn't particularly care about his own data.

He's very team-oriented, sometimes doesn't care too much about individual stats, he's a team player.

Mainly because Duncan's data declined significantly in the later stages of his career, so the average data per game was only 19+10.

It has something to do with his tactical arrangement, and then he seriously lowered the score in the middle and late stages of his career, but his overall results were relatively stable, and then he played very long-lasting, won 5 NBA championships in his career, as the first big forward, the basic skills are very solid, the defense is also very tough, and the average points per game are not brilliant at all, but the total points in the regular season reached 26496 points.

It's because he has a relatively low score in the late part of his career, which lowers the overall data, and the playoffs are very good, and then it has something to do with his arrangement on the court, his Spurs team believes in the honor of the team, so he doesn't pay attention to the honor of the player, his basic skills are very solid, the average points per game is, and the rebounding results are.

He had injured his knee before, had a serious tear, and there was no way to show his strength in the later stages.

Duncan is the most recognized number one forward in history, but in terms of data alone, Duncan's data is not very outstanding, and the special scoring data is not as good as Malone and Nowitzki, so why do most people still think that he is the number one forward in history?

Honor. <>

The first thing is that Duncan has enough hard goods, what does hard goods mean? The first is the number of championships, Duncan has won five championships in his career and spanned three generations, with the Spurs winning championships in the 90s, 00s and 10sIn Duncan's 19 years in the league, the Spurs were championship favourites every season.

Not only won 5 NBA championships, but also won 3 Finals MVP, 2 regular season MVP, 15 NBA All-NBA All-NBA teams, 15 NBA best defensive teams, 15 NBA All-Star games, Duncan is also the first player in NBA history to win a thousand wins on the same team, Duncan ranks 7th in NBA history in terms of total rebounds in the regular season, and 5th in NBA history in terms of total blocks in the regular seasonThese accolades have made Duncan firmly occupy the position of the No. 1 forward in NBA history.

The team style <>

As an evergreen tree in the league, the Spurs have never missed the playoffs since Duncan entered the league, and the fact that the Spurs can be so successful is closely related to its team civilization and team style. Duncan is the center, but Duncan's low temperament also dictates that he will not score for the sake of scoring, he will only do his job.

The most important thing is that in the final years of Duncan's career, he has become a mentor to the team, mainly playing the role of leading newcomers, but there are still a lot of appearances, which has pulled down a lot of scoring statisticsDuncan's best defensive and playmaking skills are difficult to reflect in skill statistics, but they are essential to the Spurs' five championships.

Times are different with injuries.

Duncan's era is different from the current small-ball tactics, when the average score per game was about 100 points, and now the competition is very sparse and ordinary because of the accelerated pace of the game, and more than 120 points at every turn. So on the whole, the average of 19 points per game is a very good statistic. As for the interior at that time, it generally began to decline after the age of 30, and unfortunately, Duncan suffered from plantar fasciitis at the age of 30, and he was getting further and further away from the basket on the offensive end.

In the end, let's look at it the other way around, is the average of 19+10 per game really bad? In the history of the NBA, there are only 21 players who can average 19+10 per game, and there are only 5 power forwards plus Duncan. Duncan played until he was 40 years old, except for the final season, the statistics of other seasons are not much different, and there are really few people who can do this.

It can only show that his performance in this team is more outstanding, and he has also won a lot of scores, but the score conceded rate is also relatively high.

Everyone's strength and performance are different, although his average data per game is not very good, but he is also a strong player.

The stats don't tell the whole story, Duncan is a very good forward, and his overall quality is also very strong.

I think based on his current performance, he has a good chance of being in the top 5 in the NBA, and his improvement is getting more and more obvious.

Duncan can be ranked in the top 5 in NBA history, because Duncan is now the number one forward in the history of the league, with stable scoring ability and defense, he has been in the Spurs for nearly 20 years, won five championships, and can definitely enter the top five in history.

I think so. Because he is very strong, and he is also very talented in basketball, and he also plays to his advantages when he plays.

No, the fifth in history are all too strong players, Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar, Lao Zhan, and Magic, etc., are all stronger than Duncan, and the honor is higher.

Duncan and Garnett, two of the greatest power forward players of the new century, one is a heavy interior center and the other is a light interior center, which can be inside or outside. Both have their own characteristics and are top-notch. For their parent team, they are all the soul of the team, so who is stronger between them?

Perhaps we only need to compare their performance in the first eight years of their careers to draw a conclusion.

Garnett was selected by the Timberwolves for fifth place in 1995. He was a high school student at the time, and the Timberwolves' willingness to pick him at the top showed confidence in him. The first eight years of Garnett's career were from the 9596 season to the 0203 season.

During this period, Garnett has grown from a rookie to a giant who can get hundreds of millions of contracts. Starting with the 9697 season, Garnett was named to the All-Star six times in a row, four times to the All-Defensive Team, and five times to the All-Star Team. The Timberwolves slowly went from 26 wins to 51 wins in the West.

Garnett contributed a lot.

Duncan was selected by the Spurs as the top pick in 1997. In the previous season, many teams deliberately played poorly in order to get a talented player like Duncan. In the first eight years of Duncan's career, from the 9798 season to the 0405 season, Duncan handed over the data of points, rebounds, assists and blocks in his rookie season, and not only won the best rookie without any suspense, but also won the best team and the best defensive team.

The team's record has also risen from 20 to 56. In the first eight years, Duncan had two MVPs, three championships, three FMVPs, seven All-Stars, eight defensive teams, and eight All-Star teams, arguably the ultimate every year.

Judging by the accolades, the stats, the lead scores, Duncan almost completely surrounded Garnett in the first eight years, and maybe only the assists stats. Garnett rebounded more than Duncan, and the two were evenly matched. The two faced each other twice in the playoffs, both in the first round of the playoffs, with Duncan beating Garnett 3-1 (the first round was 3-for-5).

So while Garnett's career is also great, the comparison with Duncan is still awkward. Duncan's accolades (MVP, Championship, FMVP) in 2003 alone would be greater than Garnett's achievements in the first eight years of his career.
