On the real though a premium is always put on big men. Only bigs can truly dominate on both ends
More qualifiers he had a 30/17 gameWas Duncan dropping 40/10 games as a 2nd option in the offs![]()

Who cares? He wasn't the best player on either of those teams, so you can't credit him with leading them to back-to-back Finals. Everybody knows Tony Parker has been the Spurs best player for the past 5-6 years. Hell, even Leonard had a bigger impact on the 2014 Spurs than Duncan. Timmy's been a role player on the Spurs for a while now.
As for making the 1st team All NBA in 2013: Well, that's not exactly difficult to do in a league that doesn't have very many quality big men.

Duncan been putting up near double double seasons in limited games and minutes while anchoring one of the league's best defenses and teams. Still one of the league's best big men all while playing the background and letting his homies get they shine on

What Kobe been doing the past few years? Tearing knees, achilles, and shooting his team into the draft lottery![]()

Be one of the league's best big men in your late 30's and get called a role player by irrational stans brehsThey gotta call Marc Gasol a roleplayer if they're saying Duncan was one the last two years
Their arguments are so shytty.

According to the NBA he was the best player on the 2013 team, but you need excuses and qualifiers for that one. Is Marc Gasol a role player, yes or no.......
First team All-NBA, 2nd team all defense, currently has the 2nd best defensive rating in the NBA at 38![]()
Tony Parker was in MVP discussions for most of that year, and you're telling me the NBA had Duncan as the Spurs best player? Pull this leg and it plays jingle bells. Parker's been in MVP discussions since 2011, and the only reason he hasn't won it is because he misses games due to "injuries"(Rest). The NBA knows Parker has been the Spurs best player for the past several seasons.
at you trying to revise history. You know damn well nobody in the NBA felt Duncan was the best player on the Spurs that year. Garbage postingDuncan been putting up near double double seasons in limited games and minutes while anchoring one of the league's best defenses and teams.
Wasn't Parker on the bench when Bron closed them out in 2013? Spurs don't win 2 games against the Heat without Duncan.

You just described the job of a role player.
Yeah, Parker was supposedly injured with a hamstring. Either way, he wasn't the best player of that particular series anyway... but neither was Duncan. Danny Green would have won Finals MVP if the Spurs won that series.

Duncan made the all-nba first team as a center. Tony Parker had tougher competition at the guard spot. Even Spurs fans had Parker as their best player in 2013.duncan is not better than kobe
kobe is a top 3 player of all time while duncan is not even the best pf, with dirk being #1 and kg #2
