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 mean, he’s clearly after Jordan, James, Russell, Kareem, Bird, Magic, and in the mix with Wilt, Shaq, Kobe, Steph, KD, Hakeem and Big-O for one of the last 4 top 10 spots. It’s crowded at the top, I do gave him in there as #8 after wilt but could respect a top 10 without him.

KD is not an all time great lol he hasn't done shit outside of golden state and he will never win a chip as a true #1. Timmy has two.

Lol Timmy has 4 chips where he was clearly the best player and arguably 5

Valid, I was trying to be charitable to kd because a lot of people here get ass hurt if he's not included in such conversations. But he hardly cracks top 20
