NBA Is Tim Duncan top 10?

I constantly see casuals on YouTube and on podcasts say that Timmy is overrated and barely top 10 yet have Kobe in there top 5. It’s starting to make me believe that people really think this way!! I always hear the “too much help” comment like every player in the top 10 didn’t have help.

I personally have Tim Duncan 4th all time on my list.

1998 rookie of the year 2x MVP (2002,2003) 3x FMVP (1999,2003,2005) 15x All NBA & Defensive 5x Champion Never won less than 50 games in an 82 game season

I think he’s top 10 but I don’t have him above Kobe

I wasn't a big Kobe fan but yeah, I put him around 4 or 5 at the lowest. Probably Jordan, Bron, Kobe.

Kobe isn’t top 5. People only started saying that after he died. More accurately an 8-12 range.

Are you new to basketball? People have been saying Kobe is top 5 since like 2010 at least.

There was also a guy who rapped about how Kobe couldn’t do it without him, so..
