Anyways, Duncan is really underrated as an athlete. A huge almost 7 footer with a great vertical reach as OP, very quick for his size, and also super strong. Duncan was basically a C playing PF and was a tough match-up. If he didn't play in an era of Shaq, more people would be talking about his strength. Someone like KG had no chance handling Duncan down low.
