Duncan vs. Iverson
 
ESPN.com

 
Name: Tim Duncan
Age: 23
Who is he? Forward for the San Antonio Spurs

Why is he on the list?
Jordan won the championship. Magic won the championship. Bird won the championship. To be recognized as the best player in the NBA, you have to get the ring. And Duncan already has his.


Name: Allen Iverson
Age: 24
Who is he? Guard for the Philadelphia 76ers

Why is he on the list?
As the NBA slowed down at the end of the '90s, Iverson sped it up. He's perhaps the quickest player in league history. Simply put, he can't be guarded. When he's on, he scores points in bundles.
