21 days left until the 2010-11 NBA season tips off.
Brought to you by two of the greatest power forwards in NBA history.
The Big Fundamental landed in a city with another hall of famer, a genius front office, and a willing owner. The team won a few titles then reloaded with two of the best international players in the game two win a couple more. Duncan has played himself into the record books and the hall of fame as one of if not the greatest power forward to suit up. The numbers don’t lie; 4 c’hips, 3 Finals MVPs, and 2 NBA MVPs, 20,000+ points and 11,000+ rebounds.
The Big Ticket landed in one of the coldest cities in the NBA. There was no talent in Minnesota and it was near impossible to lure any there. Perhaps it was Kevin’s fault for taking too much money or being too loyal. Maybe McHale and the front office fucked it all up with the Joe Smith incident. Or maybe fate never wanted it to work out in Minny. (Personally, I like to blame Stephon). Regardless of who you put the blame on, #21 was a monster on the court. In 2003 he racked up mind boggling stats (how does 24.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.2 blocks a game sound?) and an MVP. Yet he fell a few games short of the finals. #5 KG finally got to the top of the mountain, yet his numbers have never been the same.
Leave it to two of the best ever to star in one of the best commercials ever:
