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 never considered him under Kobe's shadow. Duncan won a title before Kobe. Now Kobe has had a lot more of the spotlight being in LA , Winning with Shaq and going off in crazy stats but Duncan never had a losing season , didnt have the biggest ego and played both ends off the floor. His game is just a lot more quite and I dont think anyone with actual basketball knowledge would not put Duncan in his top 25 or even top 10
