No, K-Mart's the one who's been to the all-star game and NBA finals and gets about twice as many rebounds and blocks as TT. He's flat out the better player right now. Like K-Mart himself said, you could take a poll around the league and people would take him over TT overwhelmingly.
Yeah, people would take Kmart first. But I'm beginning to wonder why. If he's such a tough defender - why is he always getting LIT UP by the likes of Drew Gooden and Juwan Howard? Why has he never averaged 10 rebounds a game? Why do people say he's such a great power player when he has no chance in hell at guarding the elite power forwards like KG and TD? Everytime I start thinking Kmart is as good as the hype, he chokes in a big game like Tony Parker.
Kmart is overrated and TT is probably underrated. And for all Kmart's fronting, he's always getting into fights with smaller players or players I respect like Zo or Nene. Let's see him pick a fight with Ben Wallace if he's so tough.
One thing I would say is that TT has scored repeatedly on Kmart in head to head matchups. If Kmart is so 'elite' why is a small forward scoring on him? TT is unguardable by most small forwards in this league. Kmart gets shut down or outscored by more than half the league at his position. People might take Kmart first because he rebounds more and plays better D, but Tim Thomas is better at the SF position than Kmart is at the PF position.
