How good was prime Tim Duncan? At his peak was he the best player of the 2000s?

[duckbutta]

I was watching some old Dungawd highlights and its CRAZY the level of competition he was getting his numbers and championships against.

Shaq on Monday

Sheed on Wednesday

Dirk on Thursday

Garnett on Sunday

Young Amare on Tuesday

Imagine 5 games and the WORST big you play against is either Sheed or Young Amare

Now I'm watching Jokic and Embiid get they numbers and mvp's against Jarrett Allen, Wendall Carter, Nic Claxton, and Rashaun Holmes

Shaq: Let me guard Duncan

Lets be real, majority of the Coli threads are agenda based

Fixed.

Hated Tim Duncan and the Spurs as a youngin. But I grew up really appreciate Duncan at the end of his career

 

[FAH1223]

We took Duncan for granted

 

[DrexlersFade]

The shyt he did in year 2 is probably the most criminally underrated and underdiscussed shyt ever.

Took on prime Shaq and young Kobe and Glen Rice and swept them out the Forum without a teammate avg more than 14 ppg...at barely 23 years old.

This impoverished bum's mo is so transparent

His reign at the top was short like leprechauns.

Best player in the league from ‘03 to ‘05. Wasn’t better than Shaq in ‘02 even though he won MVP.

Never missed the playoffs never did win 50 games respect ”The Don”

 

[Slaimon Khan Shah]

Tim Duncan is not even a Hall of Fame Level of Basketball player!

 

[Voice of Reason]

TYPICAL LeGTB shyt






​

Lebron is better than Kobe all that babbling is not changing shyt

 

[Voice of Reason]

Always though Duncan was overrated. People act like he was way better than Garnett.

 

[Guess Who]

He was ridiculously good wasn’t flashy or cool so he doesn’t get the respect he deserves.

 

[yseJ]

I remember when I first came to sohh in 2005 Duncan was hated on because he wasn't flashy and Spurs were shat on for being boring even tho they moved the ball. It was all about iso excitement on here

That '99 Spurs squad doesn't get the proper respect it deserves due to being a lockout season with a lot of players out of shape. Went 15-2 in the POs. The best or 2nd best (after '14) Spurs team ever.

I’m biased. But I’m also right. Tim Duncan is the best, most effective basketball player since Jordan. The way he played basketball on offense from the low and high post allowed other less talented players to excel around him in a way that his contemporaries could not. This is why he had more career success than Dirk and KG and Rasheed and Webber who all to some extent were more versatile offensive players.

And his defensive ability covered up so many deficiencies of teammates that the Spurs were able to plug many different types of non defensive one dimensional players around him during his career. This is why his teams were consistently winning games and championships. His 5 rings are only rivaled by Kobe i. The post Jordan era. Kobe had another dominant top 10 great in his prime during the first half of his run.
