Two 37 year old All Time Greats.. who are both under appreciated in favor of the more flashy stars of their era. I'll miss Duncan when he's gone.... I'll miss that boring robotic style, I'll miss that stupid bankshot he have made a thousand thousand times.. I'll miss that blank expression forever pasted on his face. I'll miss his integrity, I'll miss his dedication, I'll miss his positive role model influence. I'll miss Tim Duncan...
No doubt that he has been under appreciated. But he hasnt beaten one great fighter and has been knocked out 3 times to less than stellar competition. As for Tim Duncan, I dont know or care who that is..
I don't think thats a good comparison. I would compare Wladimir to Shaquille O'neal. Someone who had amazing attributes and size and high hopes for but had early setbacks (swept by Hakeem Olajuwon) to learn from it, effectively use his size and become a dominant player with one weakness free throw shooting (Wladimir -chin).
Who the **** is Tim Duncan? Outside of the US nobody has ever heard his name. Wlad is known world-wide as the HW champion, the baddest man on the planet.
Wlad is known in 3 countries. One of which is a very very poor country. The only reason he's known in UK is because of Haye. Accept it. Wlad is Tim Duncan.
I see where your coming from, you're kind of right except outside the ring wlads a pretty charismatic fun loving guy and duncan outside of basketball still sounds boring as hell. you get the feeling tim duncans idea of fun is watering his lawn or drinking a nice a cup of tea
