Put Duncan in Denver for the last 15 yrs with no rings and it's unlikely he'd be in anyone's top 6-10 all-time list.
Garnett, Brand, and Webber weren't nearly as consistent as Duncan. None of them are touching his interior defense either. Duncan leads all of them in points, rebounds, blocks and none them are anywhere near Duncan's number of double doubles.

It's scary how many people don't realize this or pretend to ignore it. But most people here didn't watch basketball before 2005 so you can't blame them.

Re: Is Duncan overrated?
If Duncan wins his 6th ring you have to start thinking of putting him over Bird and Magic.
Jordan
Russell
Wilt
Kareem
Duncan
So top 5.

Jordan without Pippen / Phil
Kaj without the two best pg of all time
Magic without a stacked team and Pat
Bird without a stacked team
Lebron without collusion

Re: Is Duncan overrated?
I think he is rated just fine. He is definitely underappreciated by the masses though. No way Kobe should be given such a farewell tour and all-star votes when Duncan is still effective at an older age.

Re: Is Duncan overrated?
Well some posters have said they would take him ahead of Kareem, so I'll say yes he is slightly overrated.

Re: Is Duncan overrated?
The thing about Duncan, although he has been recognized as the goat PF since his 2005 ring, these top 5 talks came alive after 2013.
If you have him in your top 5, the reason should be his prime. Not his final appearances or 2014 ring. It's like sayin KAJ is a better/greater player due to his 1988-1989 rings.
Even if you value accolades more than level of play, prime of a player (which is 10-12 years, plent time span for both level of play and accolades) should be the reason where you rank.
I know, longevity is one of the major criterias but c'mon. The talks are about top 5.

Which posters have said they would take him ahead of Kareem? I don't see any. I see mention of Duncan up there WITH KAJ POST-PRIME.

Wtf, how?
This is the shit I'm talking about, if Duncan is getting moved up dropping less than 10 pts a game while playing defense on the most depleted Big era in the league's history. Not even his Teams second best player.
Why the fucc is guys like Kobe getting shit for balling out of his mind in the 3peat with Shaq?
If 2014-16 has moved up Duncan up all time , what Bryant has been able to do with and without Shaq should put on the same level if not more so. A 22 year old kid once played in the Finals on a bum ankle and came up clutch in game 4 regardless after the Teams best player fouled out.
I'll take what Kobe was showing beyond his years and vs The Spurs BEST Teams than what Duncan is doing right now.
