DUNCAN wasnt a PF. He was CENTER in WAKER FOREST. And POPOVICH drafted him and said that they got a new CENTER. Due to that DUNCAN even joked telling POP that he was going to trade him. BUT POP said that they were going to be the new TWIN TOWERS. SPURS register DUNCAN at PF because at that time there was only 2 spots available at the center position. And one of those were SHAQ. SPURS wanted to have 2 all-stars in the TEAM for MARKETING PURPOSES. So they register him at PF. If you watch close he was the one guarding others centers and in 2004 POP stop using the 2 CENTERS line up. And from 2005 untill 2016 you cant name a CENTER that wasnt playing bench minutes. MEANING he was the CENTER.

@Zzz Vain You GOT TO BE a little kid or just don’t know nothing about basketball. For one, when Tim Duncan was drafted, the Admiral was 32-33. He was good not the same guy he used to be though. Look up the stats, Tim Duncan was out playing him by far by his SECOND YEAR, after winning rookie of the year and an ALL STAR nods in his FIRST YEAR. Tim Duncan is far better than ANY player he has ever played with. If you put Duncan anywhere he’s a star. But his running mates? Tony Parker, Manu, those guys wouldn’t be future hall of famers without him and Pop. I’ve been watching the Spurs since the 90s. You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.

[@dagameplayer]

That's what happens when a great defender plays in an era along with other great Defenders. Sure I would have liked to seen Duncan get atleast one of those awards, but come on now. For one there's no denying that Ben Wallace was the poster boy of defense during the mid 2000s, plus Duncan was contending with Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning before he got hurt, World Peace/Artest, and The Glove Gary Payton. Just wasn't in the cards for Timmy but hey. Atleast he got something they didn't. A ring as the man of his team.

There was no real flash to his game and I think that’s why most don’t ever give him the credit of being the best player of that era.

Tim Duncan was a center. Tim played center in high school and college. In the NBA, Tim played 63% of his career at center and 36% at power forward. In the seasons he played power forward primarily (520 games between 1998-2004), he was at the position 65% of the time and center 33%. For the remaining 872 games of his career he played center 85% of the time and power forward 15% of the time. He played center for the overwhelming majority of his career. The only reason he played significant time at power forward early on for any stretch was due to the fact that he was drafted onto an all time great center's team in David Robinson.

[@gutenbird]

No doubt Duncan was one of the all time best and pretty unstoppable but the other players deserve much credit for those wins and the coaching was incredible. Much of the way GS wins now is based on the way San Antonio set up their system. People used to say SA was boring to watch but I loved to watch them pass the ball and tire teams out. That’s what they did to Miami. But yes Duncan, in my opinion is probably better than Lebron.

[@johnwheeler6839]

you can make argument that tim was the best leader in the history of the NBA. to win five championships with the spurs is just unreal. most of his career the big market teams were severely outspending the spurs, and san antonio is not the type of city that is going to attract any free agents. tim's calm alpha energy is hard to explain. he almost never made mental errors. his ego was so in check. he was all about team ball. discipline off the charts. some people wonder why old school fans get so upset at players like ja morant. its because we have had players like tim duncan winning championships at 24. He wasn't about being a billionaire; he was about sportsmanship, supporting his community, and winning the right way through hard work and sacrifice. he got every bit of potential out of every teammate he had.
