Where does Duncan rank over the past 20 years, or all-time?

He is a 4 time champion, 2 time NBA MVP, 3 NBA Finals MVP, and Rookie of the Year to his credit.

Top 10 player of all-time?

Top 2 or 3 PF of all time. Maybe the best; I hate that douche so I won't give him that.

He's always been a class act, IMO.

I'm not sure he's a top 10 player of all time, though. Some lists/Bill Simmons tend to overrate him slightly. I swear I've seen one list where he was number 6

Yep. He could very well be on his way to #5 this season. You will either see a player get his 5th, or another get his 6th this season. The West wins this year, no doubt.

He is the Ben Crane/Sergio Garcia of Free Throw shooting.

26h all time in points (Should finish top 20)
18th all time in rebounds (Should finish top 12)
9th all time in blocks

Careers averages of 20/11/3/2 and a 51% FG shooter, and a 22/12/3/3 playoff performer. Plus he's an above average FT shooter. Four titles, three Finals MVPs, two regular season MVPs, 13x all-NBA, 13x all-NBA defense.

He's definitely top 15 all time. I'd probably put him at 9 or 10 if I had to rank em.

Model of consistency. Never really injured. Still very effective in his 15th season. His peak wasn't as amazing as, say, Hakeem's peak. Won multiple championships as the only superstar on his team during a somewhat weak era in the NBA.

Best PF ever.

Somewhere around Bird, Kobe and Hakeem in the historical rankings (8-12 or something like that).

Duncan has 4 with Spurs.
Kobe has 5 with LAL.
Derek Fisher has 5 with OKC.



My original claim has 100% merit.

I think Bird is probably top 5. I think the only three bigs for sure ahead of Duncan are Kareem, Wilt and Shaq. Dream and Duncan are a coin flip for me. I never know how I feel about Russell's all-time ranking relative to the more recent bigs.
