In 2003 Tim Duncan won his second consecutive MVP and Finals MVP while leading the Spurs to a title. Just how good was he then? Did his low post scoring game match the all-time greats? What were his strengths and weaknesses as a playmaker? And did his massive defensive impact make him one of the best two-way centers ever?
This is the 12th episode in a series on the greatest peaks in NBA history (focusing on 1977-2020), featuring detailed scouting reports and film breakdown on the best players in NBA history at their best, along with analysis of their impact using historical data & stats to size up the highest peaking players ever.
