Who is your choice for NBA Player Of The Decade? The fans voted for Kobe. I disagree of course. I vote Shaquille O'Neal. 4 rings, 1 MVP, 3 Finals MVPs, helped 2 franchises win NBA titles. One of those being an "expansion" franchise. 9 playoff appearances in the decade. Shaquille is the last player (2000) to lead the league in scoring and win an NBA title in the same season. One of the most dominant big men of all time, Shaq's impact on the decade was the biggest.

I would have voted for O'Neal, but by the time the 2000's came around he was already up towards 30 years old and only had a few dominant years in the tank.

I went for Tim Duncan. I think he'll go down as one of the most under appreciated talents of our generation. He's not loud with his game and he's really quiet and goes about his business. His defense is as good if not better than his offense and he's a winner.

4 times a champion without ever having an elite scoring guard to take the pressure away. Tony Parker is a great player but he's mostly a compliment.

3 times a finals MVP.

2 times league MVP.

12 times all defensive NBA team.

I agree completely. I have always thought this about Tim. I love his game. He isn't flamboyant, he doesn't have puppet commercials, he isn't getting in troubles or any of that, etc. but Duncan is as consistent as they come. They built that team around him for the last 10 years. Find me a more classy guy on and off the court. In a league that gets a bad rap for "thugs and troublemakers" Duncan has never been in that group. His numbers also do not lie.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
