Superstar
He's a player that benefited the most from playing with the GOAT coach in Popovich and the GOAT organization which never allowed him to have sh*tty or lottery supporting casts around him at any point during his career.
Basically the Spurs is one of those rare cases where the organization and the coaching/system are bigger than the one player.
You're starting to see it now as Duncan is basically an aging roleplayer and yet the Spurs are on pace to have the best record on their entire franchise history (not even the Twin Tower Spurs of the late 90s, or the Big 3 Spurs of the 2000s can make that claim, with a prime Duncan)
But Duncan vampires can still cling to the fact that their hero is still playing so they can pretend like he is the main reason for the Spurs success.
When Duncan retires I suspect the Spurs won't miss a beat and will continue to be a 50+ win team and perennial contenders for years to come.
