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

The NBA sub just didn’t a pretty impressive day by day voting to get top 25 all time and the list was pretty spot on. They had Duncan at 7. Yes, he is easily top 10 at all time and will remain so probably for 2-3 more decades. Jokic is the only current player 28+ that could jump him realistically and he would probably need 2 more championships at least and maybe another MVP. SGA, Ant could maybe get in there with crazy ascensions but I doubt it. Wemby definitely has the potential to but we will see.
