the best teammate dream played with was a declining drexler at 32. (Pippen and Barkley were on their downslope on the rockets especially pippen)

Duncan had a chance to grow with parker and manu (allstars in their prime) as well as young Leonard in the present.

they both had similiar role players (shooters) but Duncan had superior 2nd and 3rd options when parker and manu emerged
Duncan already had 2 rings before Parker and Manu emerged. And he 3 rings before Parker could make an open jumper.

The team was openly courting J. Kidd before the season even ended, but yeah it was all about TP back then :deadrose:.
For real if Kidd would've came to SA we probably never hear of Tony Parker. Tony couldn't shoot worth a damn

And Tim deserves a bunch of credit for Tony and Manu's development. He fell back willingly to let them two dudes grow and blossom.

You think it's a huge gap? :francis:

I think it's pretty damn close. Prime Duncan was pretty damn unguardable from 15 feet and in so its not like Hakeem just shyts on him offensively. Hakeem's edge is slight

Duncan is also the best defensive anchor who doesn't have a DPOTY too.

Olajuwon won a title without a legitimate second star. I don't think Duncan has ever done that. shyt Jordan never did that.

And the MVP argument means nothing.If that's the case then you're saying Curry and Harden are close to Lebron as players
The admiral was not in Duncan or Hakeem's league EVER get outta here with that bullshyt

This is an underrated aspect of Duncan. If he was selfish and insecure like Kobe and Shaq then there is no way the Spurs could have kept this thing going like they have. People try to hold his teammates against him as if he hasn't played a huge role in them getting to the level they did.

He was still clearly the best player on the team in 07 and dominated the whole playoffs, but he was humble enough to defer and let Parker :eat: in the finals and get MVP because he had a favorable matchup against a :flabbynsick: Larry Hughes. How many other superstars would do that?

Would the spurs have beaten the 86 celtics? Would the 86 Rocketskseat the Knicks? Think carefully
