Where does Tim Duncan stand all-time now?

[stalkerforlife]

Why do you people keep putting Wilt and Russell in the top 5? They played in a league of 10 teams and the best teams received byes in the first round of the playoffs.

1. MJ
2. Kareem
3. Kobe
4. Duncan
5. Bird

That is the top 5 of all time.

[deja vu]

1. MJ
2. Kareem
3. Russell
4. Duncan
5. Magic
6. Bird
7. Shaq
8. Wilt
9. Hakeem
10. Kobe

I have him 4th now. He was a big part of why they won, and had a case for FMVP as much as Leonard, since he played well every game in the series.

[Rose'sACL]

1. MJ/Kareem(tied)
3. Wilt
4. Russell
5. Duncan

[Noyze]

He was top 7-10 previously, he has to be top 5 now.

[ThePhantomCreep]

He was top 7-10 previously, he has to be top 5 now.

I fail to see how this ring gives him that much of a boost. None of the players previously ranked above him would lose a Finals MVP to Kwahi Leonard.

[SuperPippen]

Got him at #5, behind MJ, Kareem, Russell, and Wilt.


at people dismissing him as a "role player." He's been there most consistent player during these playoffs, and he was their best player during last year's playoffs, too. He's still their defensive anchor. And he's f*cking 38.

He's a legend. The greatest big man since Kareem.

So Duncan is Top 5 now that he won his 5th, but Kobe isn't?

Explain, please...

There were byes until 1983.

You don't have to rank Wilt and Russell, but don't call it an all-time list then.

[NBASTATMAN]

1. MJ/Kareem(tied)
3. Wilt
4. Russell
5. Duncan

This is where I would put him at.. You have to consider he has never played with a true superstar..

[jstern]

I'm not sure how you can make a case for Kobe over Duncan. They have the same amount of rings, but Duncan has more regular season MVP and FMVP. I'm all ears though.

Kobe has a more stylish game and is less boring.

Duncan has always been ahead of Kobe on most all time list, but since the last Finals the Kobe stans have been on a crusade trying to brainwash people with threads like, "If Duncan wins, will he match Kobe." And anything else they can use to put him down.

Somehow Kobe had passed Tim, with all his failures that he's had since 2010.

So Duncan is Top 5 now that he won his 5th, but Kobe isn't?

Explain, please...

Are you that simple minded? Is life really that simple for you?

[BurningHammer]

Potentially be in the Mt. Rushmore of NBA; Russell, Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar and Duncan.

Kobe demolishes Spurs in the Play-offs
Kobe has way more clutch plays and game-winners
Duncan's teams have some of the worst chokes ever.
Kobe's longetivity is on par with Duncan's considering he's a perimeter player.
Kobe has faced better competition in the finals than Duncan has.
Yet again, I think they're completely equal, but you could argue both sides
