I've always said: the guy was simply unstoppable! there was no way to defend him! If he made 22 or 18 pts per game it's simply because he wasn't good at shooting, not because he couldn't get past the defense that came in front of him. all you could do was put up as much resistance as possible and cross your fingers hoping he would fail.

@Guadalupe Chavarria Dream was still a better center; a one position player, though. If the Rox front office weren't a collection of incompetents spanning nearly three decades, Hakeem would likely have had two more with the type of game Tomjanovich installed. The Barkley trade was epic idiocy on the level of what the Vikings made for Herschel Walker. I said it when it happened, too.

If you are starting your franchze from zero and you have to start it all over again with 1 player before selecting anything else,Tim Duncan is one of the safest bets. The fans will love him,teammates will love him no matter who's on the team,he's very coachable and most importantly is a superstar on both ends of the floor but has no problem taking a step down if that's what the team needs. Perfect franchize cornerstone. You think of guys like Kobe and as great as he is I never know how is he going to get along with coaches,teammates and what's gonna happen once he starts to age. That's why I always think of Duncan. Great character,defensive anchor and a first option on a championship level team. All you need. The only place he lacks is in marketability but I'm fine with that. That's by choice...

I love this take. If I had to start a franchise, I'm going with Timmy, Larry, or Bill Russel. Maybe Magic if the other guys are taken. I wouldn't take Jordan because everyone would and I'm a contrarian, but also because if you take Jordan then that becomes a Jordan team. He has a very dominant personality and style of play. The offense in Chicago ran through him to an incredibly high degree. I like Tim Duncan and Larry Bird as franchise starters because they be absolute superstars and can carry a load when needed, but also take a step back into the chemistry of the team when needed, like you said. On any given night.

He was the best ever at his main position while having plenty of good competition at PF (Dirk, Garnett, Webber, Gasol, Stoudamire). Arguably the best player of an entire decade (2000s). Only Russell and Jordan have more rings as the clear best player on their teams. Most all defensive teams ever and tied second most all NBA teams ever. Lead Spurs to a title in 03 with no elite teammates (D Rob was washed and Tony+Manu were not good yet.) Lead Spurs to a title in only his 2nd season. Also the Spurs never had a losing season or missed the playoffs with him on the team. That puts him on a list with very few all time greats. He did not have the flashy game and media hype of some but he stands among the absolute best to ever do it. I think his case for top 5 is extremely great.

You had me there at the beginning, Dan, but halfway through the audio you started talking about Tim the way people talk about him today--with a perspective based on the back-end of his career. You asked about whether Duncan "dunked"? His whole prime was inundated with strong dunks at the basket. You mentioned him playing with great players like Manu and Tony, and coached by a great coach. Those players and coach excelled BECAUSE of Tim Duncan, not the other way around. Popovich was able to coach the team as he did BECAUSE Duncan allowed him to. Make no mistake...Tim Duncan was ALWAYS in control. Anybody who watched the Spurs from 97-07 would know that. There was no mythical "system"; there was only "4-Down." Plenty of game tape of the Spurs simply dumping it down to Duncan and letting him to go to work. Did the others contribute? Absolutely. They played their part just like the Worthy's, the Parish's, the McHale's, the Riley's, the Jackson's before them. But make no mistake...from the moment he set foot on that court, Tim Duncan was the cog that made that franchise into the dynasty it became. Just ask Will Perdue...ask Vinny DelNegro...ask Sean Elliott, Steve Kerr, Kevin Willis, David Robinson...the list goes on and on. They'll tell you the same thing. "We owe EVERYTHING to Tim Duncan." All-Star appearances in reality don't carry so much weight. Look at the REAL highlights of his career: 1st-Team All-NBA as a ROOKIE; Champion, Finals MVP, and league-MVP candidate by his Sophomore season; By his 10th season, he was a 4-time Champion, 3-time Finals MVP, and 2-time League MVP...already an all-timer in 10 years of play (that's Bird and Magic-esque); Finally, he was 29 seconds away from 6-0 in the Finals and 4 Finals MVPs, the only one to rival the great Michael Jordan's Finals resumé.

Nobody is mentioning the fact that he made the playoffs EVERY year. The Spurs were a title contender EVERY year he played. He brought a leadership and consistency that every team feared. And he played in the West, which was always the better conference with much better competition. I think his greatness is in his consistency and dominance for such a long period of time.

To add, It wasn’t like the Spurs were just a team that made the playoff, they were CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDERS, in arguably the most competitive conference of all time. When people say that he didn’t have a definitive peak, its because his championship window lasted his entire career. I always found it so metaphorical that his last game in the league was in the playoffs. No farewell tour, nothing big, just a tweet from the spurs. I believe that he is the most complete player of all time, starting from when he was drafted. Most players often develop into great players but Tim was great from the start, then won his first ring and finals mvp his 3rd year. He is greatness
If Duncan hadn't played in a small market that lacked national level syndication of famous sports commentators, it's not even a question that he would be top 5 of all time.
Argument for him being top 5 is legit. During his time. No1 post MJ was as dominate. Consistent. He is one Pop mistake away from being 5-0 at a minimum..2 MVPS. 3 Finals MVPS..folks got to remember. Thus guy was scoring 22 to 25 ppgs in an era where teams barely scored in the 90s. Defensively he is top 2 at worst at his position. Even if he was a 5 man. His career was better than everyone not named Dream or Kareem..him being top 5. I'm good with that really.. his career is better than Kobe and Shaq. Top 5 type guys in his era.. I'm taking him above Russell and Wilt..

True but lets not act like he didnt have HOF’s level players all his career, from David robinson, to Parker and Ginobili to Kawhi leonard, his team was always stacked. Every players need 1 or more star player with them to win many titles, even MJ needed Pippen and Roadman, even Lebron needed wade and Bosh, Kyrie and Love or AD. You can be the best player in the world basketball is a teamsport and thats why we call these team a Dynasty, a dynasty is a family, its a group of people who dominated their era .
I’m into learning about organizational leadership and what makes a great leader. From that, I’d like to point out that Duncan’s leadership ability is the greatest of all time. He knows when to lead as the man, when to make leadership as a supporter, and most importantly consistency in group/team success. Also I think a great leader have a mentor/teacher type of leadership and being calm and collected and show the fundamentals for everything to the group or even to the society. Put that along with his accomplishments as a player, Duncan is one of the GOATs, arguable to be top three.
Best player since Mike
I’m a Spurs guy, home town is SA and I’ve always thought Tim was definitely top 10 prolly in the 9-10 range but after looking up stats and record and who he played w vs who he played against I think top 6 may be more appropriate. MJ, Kareem, Wilt, Magic, Bird, Tim, Bill, Oscar, Kobe, LeBron.

@Rollly Canute I've been watching the NBA since the 1970's.... love Bird & Magic...... but you're correct Tim Duncan isn't the greatest player of all-time, but he's a lot closer to it than most people realize Wilt & Jabbar are better..... perhaps Jordan (closer than most think) but that's it. Duncan is better than Bird, Magic, Kobe, Shaq, Julius, Abdul-Olajuwon, Oscar and even Bill Russell. 4th best player of all-time.

@@mateensharrieff3400 I completely agree. If I was starting a team with 1 player it would be Jordan but my 2nd choice would definitely be Duncan. People look at stats only. This guy did whatever was necessary to win and he made everyone around him much better. He got a lot of role players paid.
I agree. Top 5. Maybe top 3. Unguardable- 2 way big
Tim Duncan is an underrated passer too
11:00 Tim Bankshot lmaaaaaaooo
Perfect description by Dan!
Saying he was boring, because he wasn't a loud talker is ridiculous. I never saw Garnett posterize anyone either. I enjoyed watching him play. Duncan whipped Shaq many times.
My favorite player of all time
for 15 years im taking Tim Duncan and hes top 5 for sure

@@razkable i got TD over kobe.. at the end of thr day its about winning and TD did it better than anybody else in his era
Totally agree !!
1. Jordan 2. Duncan 3. Kareem 4. LeBron 5. Magic
Shaq calling Tim Duncan: "The Big Fundamental" says it all!!!
Duncan, KG, and Kobe... its true, if you could chose one to build a franchise around, its not even close. Timmy, all day, every day.
Tim fasho top 5 .. check his stats N accomplishments N the eye test don’t lie
He’s number 5 for me.
I have him right outside of the top 5, #6 on my all-time list. He was incredible though
He is definitely top 5 in my book. Along with Larry Bird, MJ, Russell, and Magic.

@@mriwaschosentobegreat4084 Look at it this way...Kareem needed Magic & The Big O to win his titles. At best he is a co-star IMHO. Duncan did it without another superstar several times. In 2003 he did it almost by himself. The second leading score on the team for that playoff run was S. Jackson at 14.7ppg! Then in the closeout game of the finals he gets a quadruple (officially finished with 8 blocks because stat people can't do their job prooerly!) along with 21pts/20reb/10ast/10bk!!! Not too mention he held Kenyon Martin to 3-23 shooting and 6pts with almost 40 mins on the floor! Martin said Duncan was by far the hardest player to guard in his career. That shows how dominant and impactful Duncan was on both sides of the ball! Don't get me wrong, Kareem is still top 6 or 7 all-time IMHO.
Best player too come into mba after Jordan hands down a best on both ends of the floor
He's definitely my No. 1
Ain't this the guy that tried to argue with Barkley about who the best PF was, insinuating that he was actually better than Duncan? Barkley of course said flat out that Duncan was the best PF ever. I'm glad that Dan Patrick shaped up.
When your the GREATEST at your position, and ya by a good margin, he is EASILY a top 5 of all time, i
Timmy made Texas a country worth wile living in it.. cudos to the admira(one of my favorite players)l but timmy made it real
Bird, Magic, Shaq, Kobe and Wilt all broke down in the later portions of their careers. Jordan, Lebron, Duncan, Kareem, Russell and are top 5 and in that order.
He could be, but anytime I hear this my response is: "Who are the other four??? Really??? What about Hakeem Olajuwan and Larry Bird (for example) -- **they** aren't in your top five???" Tim Duncan is among the NBA's 75 Greatest Players and that's more than good enough!!!

The NBA has their 75th Anniversary coming up.
Duncan top 5 of all time base off career and being the best power forward of all time.. duncan not being .flashy just means he wasn't as athletic...the nba is controlled by popularity and not just basketball. If tim duncan isnt top 5 of all time to most people its because it has nothing to do with basketball...after the jordan era was the tim duncan era...duncan was the best player in ten year span...kobe bryant and shaq have never been the best player in a ten year span. Numbers tell his entire career's story...numbers dont lie .consistency means your legit. .your the real deal..your dominance is not by luck...not by system or coaching...tim duncan is the tom Brady of the nba...people under 6'6 feet tall got to get out of their feelings understand the taller you are the more dominate you are...tim Duncan played out of position most of his career....Duncan is better than shaq kobe Stephen curry lebron James karl malone kg larry bird.....the only players on Duncan level is Hakeem kareem and MJ...dominated on both ends of the court
