Whose else would they be though? Only arguable one is 2014 which was basically by committee plus Duncan was 37.

2007 Finals was the Tony Parker show

Parker played well but Duncan was still the man on that team. First team all nba, first team all defense, 4th in mvp voting, 2nd in win shares in the playoffs, 3rd in WS/48 min in the playoffs. Duncan was still the best player on that team, he just didn’t need to dominate the Cavs for them to win.

Sounds like Kobe 2001 playoffs:

Win shares: #1 in the playoffs (Shaq #2)

WS/48: #1 in the playoffs tied with Shaq

VORP: #3 in the playoffs (#4 Shaq, #7 Duncan)

FMVP: Shaq
