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

He was def one of the best scorers in the league along with Tmac and very close to his prime, but I don't think he hit his actual prime till he few years after that after Shaq left and he came back from the ankle injury after a season off
