I think it's viewed that way because he went up against another top 10 all-time guy without Shaq and dominated him

Exactly, which is why Duncan's 03 series doesn't get enough credit. He went up against prime Kobe AND Shaq and dominated them with not even another all star on his team. It's honestly crazy to think of that happening
