i think he would have a very legit argument.

he isn't flashy but he is still a great player even at his age

He's already Top 5-10 of all time. I think that's his ceiling, and it's not a shabby place to be.

He's the same exact player whether they win it all or not.

I don't know where Duncan ends up in the all-time NBA hierarchy.

Is he better than Malone was as power forward? What about Barkley? Tough to say. He certainly has the hardware to boost his resume over those two.

He played center as well. Is he better than Kareem, Olajuwon, or even Shaq at that position? He has all the awards to substantiate his claim to the Mount Rushmore of NBA.

He's got 4 rings, 3 finals MVPs, 2 season MVPs, 14 all-star appearances, ROTY, and the first player to ever be selected to the All-NBA and All- Defense teams for 13 straight seasons.

The thing about Duncan is that you can't legitimately say he was the best player in the league at any time in his career, which is unfortunate. He's got to be top 10, if not top 5, IMO.

GOAT or not is completely subjective.

However, I believe he'll be the first to win a title as a starter in three different decades if SA brings home #5.

Trying not to get ahead of myself as an excited fan, but a Larry this year would be SO sweet as a Spurs fan. Hope they can notch 5 more wins this season.

So what your asking is if he wins less championships that jordan, Bill Russell, and Kareem while putting up less point than MJ or KAJ will he be the best?

I think Tim Duncan is very good, but he is like Brady on the Patriots, it is a very good team around him with the best coach in the NBA.

Let's see:

1. LeBron
2. Shaq
3. MJ
4. Magic

Nope.

No.

Tim gets too much credit. It's like people who think he's better than Shaq. Just a joke opinion.
