I voted '00 Robinson, but it was a pinch off the cuff, and now I'm second-guessing it. '13 Duncan was a little better than I remembered [by the numbers, I mean]. Pretty close.

I voted Duncan. Drob probably holds the defensive advantage by that point, but I feel despite them both being past prime, their offensive advantages and weaknesses still hold. The difference for me is i still trust Duncan more to get tough buckets in crunch time, something we actually seen a lot from him in those playoffs. I don’t doubt Drob probably grades out better in impact stuff, so it probably depends on team construction, I don’t think Drob in place of Duncan get within seconds of a title.
