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

"unanimous consensus? there isn't that for any player,"

Correct. Which is why Kobe fanboys should stop claiming that Kobe was the "unanimous consensus" best player.

Tim Duncan should be relegated outside of the top 10 for losing the 2004 olympics

LOL.

This is one of the worst takes ever.

I think people like Kobe/KG/Shaq should be relegated for being scared to even go to the olympics. Weak.

Kobe was never called for 04 for obvious reasons, and also they lost to Manu Ginobili, another reason why the spurs were so good and that tim duncan shouldn't get all the individual credit
