Whose legacy has the most to gain with a title this year, Lebron or Duncan?

They've also been really good since about 1990. those teams with David Robinson, Sean Elliott, Avery Johnson, and Vinny Del Negro always won at least 50 games. I'm too lazy to look it up but I bet they have the best winning percentage since then. I don't know, the Lakers might be better. Can their owners by the Mariners please?!He_Needs_More_Time said:
They never repeated but I think 3 titles in 5 years with two heart breaking playoff losses in there is a dynasty. The run that they are on now rivals the 49ers 1981-1998 run of sustained excellence.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:
I'm sort of nitpicking, but the Spurs won in 2003, 2005 and 2007. I definitely put them up against the Lakers and Celtics of the 80s, when you throw in 1999. I'd say they had a dynasty going.RoadDawg55 said:LeBron. Another championship helps LeBron keep moving up the ladder of all time greats. LeBron needs every championship he can get to catch Magic and Jordan on the all time lists. Not to mention, he's already lost two times in the Finals, although the one with Cleveland doesn't really count. 3 losses before 30 might end up hurting, especially considering he will most likely lose another at some point before his career is over.
A championship for Duncan won't do as much. He will still be ranked behind Russell, Kareem, and Wilt for big guys. I think as time goes on, Duncan will become even more underappreciated than he already is. He wasn't flashy, didn't put up outrageous scoring numbers (averaged 25.5 once, next highest was 23.3), played in San Antonio, and was part of a consistently outstanding basketball team, but they weren't necessarily a dynasty considering they never won back to back titles. He's already cemented himself as the greatest PF of all time (even though he's always been the crunch time C except for a few years with David Robinson). -
