Seeing as the Malone/Duncan thread provided for some interesting discussion, I opted to start another one also involving the Big Fundamental. This time I'm putting him up against his teamate, The Admiral also known as David Robinson.
Tim Duncan: 2 MVPs, 3 Championships, 3 Finals MVPs, 8-time NBA All-Star, 9-time All-NBA, 9-time All-NBA Defense, NBA ROY
David Robinson: 1 MVP, 2 Championships, 10-time NBA-All Star, 10-time All-NBA, 8-time All-NBA Defense, NBA ROY, NBA DPOY
What do you think of these two?

Wow, that one's a tough call. I think Robinson was better in his prime (ie before Duncan got there), but Duncan has been more consistent. I'd say Robinson was a little better offensively, while I'd give Duncan a slight edge as rebounder. Defense is kind of similar, Robinson was a shot-blocking force early in his career.
That one is basically a toss-up in my opinion.

Robinson proved more as he wasn't surrounded with the talent that Duncan has had around him during his entire stay in SA. I would have to go with the Admiral here.
