Timmy was a great player...top 5 leader of all time, sure...top 5 winner of all time, sure
But top 5 player of all time, HELL NO
He took too many games off to be top 5...that boy coasted through the reg season
Load mgmt started with him, Gino & Tony
The man averaged 13 pts a game when ppl said he was still in his prime
Give me a break
Great player, top 15 player, but not top 5

U said early part of his career so I assumed you were talking Cleveland first stint.
And again that was also a zone, wall defense they threw at him. LeBron was a perimeter player and an initiator at the top of the key it’s different.
Anyway Duncan wasn’t better than LeBron.

Duncan isn't in the Top 5 because he coasted for more than half of his career. He was barely a 20ppg scorer after year 9 or so. Dude was getting his Sheed Wallace on throughout the seasons.
Honestly, a few of those playoffs he coasted as well. The best post-season was easily that '02. He was getting to where he wanted, and commanding the ball. Not doing that lackadaisical system game he often used. You wanted your best player to take over, not play within the system. I think that's the reason they never won b2b.

Where were these highs when Kobe was sending him packing?
Sam Jones has 10 and was the closer on the most dominant team in the history of American team sports and most people don't know who he is. Dude doesn't even make top 50 lists.
We all know what it is with Timothy. If he was an a$$hole or flashy or selfish folks would be calling him GOAT. He's the reason, I can't take sports fans seriously when they complain about dudes seeking attention or being selfish or putting up empty stats. He was everything sports fans claim they want in a player and yet they would rather ignore him while drooling over the very guys they swear they hate.

All this system player shyt when Kobe had his chance to prove he could win outside of Phil's system and failed miserably.
they not gonna respond to this shyt tho
but you know what i noticed? A Tim Duncan thread ALWAYS gets filled with Kobe talk. Kobe stans are the most insecure stans in sports.
A decade of two way dominance isn't enough breh? How many guys got longer stretches of dominating BOTH ends of the court? He took a step back offensively, but he was still a defensive force. He did what folks swear they want guys to do and that is let other cats cook. Are you really suggesting that Tim Duncan wasn't taking over playoff games breh? Swept Shaq (with more talent) out of the forum in year 2 with nobody else averaging more than 14 pts without taking over games? The year after the one you mentioned, was one of the all-time underappreciated carry jobs. They never went back to back because he was carrying the squad on his back against the likes of Kobe and Shaq and they didn't get that ref love we've seen other great squads get. You give him the squads that Shaq has had, and the ref love some of his squads have received, and he surpasses Russell and forces ya'll to call him GOAT.

Because he was too quiet.
People hate on athletes for being arrogant, sensitive, and caring what others think. But they don't realize that being that way makes people put respect on your name when you succeed
When you're too quiet, humble, etc. People tend to forget about you.
Barry Sanders is one of the few quiet players that people still rep.
