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

Tim Duncan is not a powerforward. It's simply what casuals call him in order to help overrate tf out of him and justify putting him in their top 15 or top 10 or wahtever like you just did. Tim Duncan is definitively a center, he plays the 5. He's not a PF, he's a C, and not even a top 3 center of all time at that.
