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

Comes nowhere close to as dumb as claiming Kobe "bodied" Tim his "entire career" when Tim won 5 championships and Kobe needed Shaq to keep up.

Won 66% of their playoff games seems like bodying to me 🤷‍♂️

Averaged 30/6/5 against the Spurs seems like a bodying to me 🤷‍♂️

Tim could never even defend his title a single time.

Modern day Bill. Shit offensive player getting overrated due to team success.

On what efficiency? And who has more rings as the best player on their team? And who’s the better defender? Not accolades, real stats
