Tim Duncan is better then Kevin Garnett

This is my first debate and I will do the best I can. First off let me begin by saying that Tim Duncan and KG are both amazing players and both had amazing careers thought the years. My opponent makes the point that these two players are almost evenly matched up when it comes to statistics. But this is not necessarily true. My opponent said, and I quote, "The difference between Garnett and Duncan is Duncan excels in some aspects of the game but faces big weaknesses in many other parts like his Free Throw percentage (lowly 68%)". . Duncan is fundamentally sound to take shots and take fouls too. He is not a good ft shooter but it still puts pressure on opponents and referees to call a foul. While Garnett shoots fading away or shying away from contact. This gives a lot less free-throw attempts for Garnett then Duncan. Garnett with 5,249 attempts and Duncan with 6,530 attempts. It's kind of funny because Garnett has been playing in the league 2 more years then Duncan has. If you're talking about "jump shot" you got to check out Tim Duncan. He has been doing that his entire career. That's one of his trademark moves, low post face the basket and hit the bank shot. But one thing Garnett does. .. and was well known for was relying to teammates too much. He still does it, it's just he has teammates who can play at as high a level as KG does (well. .. energy and passion wise not included). But many times when the moment came upon Garnett to make the right play. .. he would shrink or need someone to bail him out. I don't mean this on every occasion, but on the biggest stage he would put up great numbers. But not the two extra points to win the game. Not the rebound or steal or blocked shot that secures the victory. That's what really separates Tim Duncan from Garnett. There almost polar opposites of each other. Duncan the calm, fundamentally sound offensively and defensively, interior player who occasionally shots 15 footers and Garnett the excitable, versatile offensively and defensively, shooting 15 footers and occasionally shots on the interior. But Duncan does come up with the big shot, the rebound, the blocked shot, and the right pass to the right teammate. Duncan obviously is the better player. Garnett didn't win a championship until he went to Boston didn't have to go through Tim Duncan. When KG had to play Tim, there was no contest. Tim took him (and the Wolves) out of the playoffs twice, first in 1999 on the way to a championship, and again in 2001 on the way to the Western Conference Finals. Duncan's, statistics were very impressive, but Duncan was a winner, Garnett was a choker. The true measure of greatness is now just how you play, but whether you bring out the best in those around you. Duncan's quite leadership, learned at the hands of The Admiral, David Robinson, which makes him the dominant player of the post-Jordan era. Who was Tony Parker, Manu Ginobli, Sean Elliot, Stephen Jackson, or even Avery Johnson? If Tim Duncan wanted to be a star by himself, he would have not let go, he would not want to develop this potent guys, and absolutely he would get all the credit, but Tim Duncan was different from everyone. He doesn't want any attention by the media, he doesn't want anything about the analyst, and of course, he doesn't want to brag about his achievements. Here is one trait Duncan possesses, he made everyone around him BETTER, even the Great David Robinson praised Duncan on his leadership abilities during their first championship together 3 MVP Finals, back to back MVP's, only missed one NBA-First Team Selection, and an all-star for every year of his career. I urge you to vote for me because; Tim Duncan is without a doubt the greatest power-forward of all-time.
