Tim Duncan one of the best players on the court ever. I already miss the guy...

[firatabuleyla]

Dont start to compare. We're lucky to watch them play together(all-star games) or against each other(spurs vs. timberwolves/celtics)

Respect the greatness of 2 future Hall Of Famers.

People forget TD played most of his career on a bad knee and still dominated.

[Galladefan]

KG had one of the best MVP years ever. He averaged 24/14/5 And 2 blocks a game while carrying role players to the playoffs.

[xdivisionvision]

Duncan and KG were 2 of the best players to watch in their prime

[BooGhan]

I've seen that dunk from KG from various vintage replays, highlights, etc. I didn't know it was from his 1st game against Duncan. Cool.

[yanaman]

KG Was more explosive and more entertaining to watch, but overall Duncan was the better play. KG is the 2nd best PF Duncans the Best

[ibeonthemmildswiththatyac]

kg for me was better but never got that help he needed for minnesota

[TheEloka]

Prime: KG>Duncan
Career: Duncan>KG

[RaulRM]

And that’s why he’s one of the greatest pf of all time

[batuhanbakrc]

I see that alley-opp in every KG video lol.I think KG could have been better if he had a team like TD in his prime.

[doogie]

Battle for who is the best Nº21 ?
Don't care both are legends,
I'm glad to say I've seen both play on court 😍😍

[justtimes]

tim duncan trash talk is hilarious & shock no one talks about and Duncan over Kobe

[FMFvideos]

19 years later, one goes down as the best PF ever. And the other just goes down.

[MrDeathyness]

2 of my favorite players of all time. Enjoy retirement and see you at the HOF

[big-l]

If Starbury only knew who he was playing with he'd have rings

[jaimecantillano]

KG lost years in Minessota the guy is class

[southwest]

Just noticed it was the same as today's date 19 years ago

[TheyayaTh]

19 years later, TD top 3 PF all time and KG top 10 PF all time

[bretts]
