I have doing some more statistical checking and here's what I've come up with:
Spurs record through March 6, 2007, since Tim Duncan arrived in 1997
Regular season, games with Duncan
578 wins
224 losses
.721 winning percentage
59.1 wins/82 games
Games without Duncan
24 wins
22 losses
.522 winning percentage
42.8 wins/82 games
Playoffs, games with Duncan
91 wins
47 losses
.659 winning percentage
4.6 wins/7 games
Games without Duncan
1 win
4 losses
.200 winning percentage
1.4 wins/7 games
All Games with Duncan
669 wins
271 losses
.712 winning percentage
58.4 wins/82 games
5.0 wins/7 games
All games without Duncan
25 wins
26 losses
.490 winning percentage
40.2 wins/82 games
3.4 wins/7 games
pretty impressive
I cannot think of a more impressive 10-year run in any sport, outside of QB Otto Graham, Cleveland Browns, 1946-1955.

I'm sorry, not Michael.
The Bulls averaged 49 wins per season from 1984/85 -1993/94.

I'm impressed with your determination to prove Duncan is the best.
I'm pretty sure everyone on SpursTalk knows where I stand on the subject. :)
But I don't think you're ever going to convince everyone, even with the impressive stats that Duncan has.
There are so many other factors that play into why a player is great.
People will always have their own opinion and interpretation of those factors.

Always good to keep Spurs fans armed and dangerous with the stats.

And also good in case any kobe or MJ fans wander in.

I thought this thread was going to be about Manu.

funny you say that..
im a pretty huge jordan fan.
my aunt was the coreographer of the chicago luvabulls, and so i got a picture with him, and shoes that say 'to david, from michael jordan'
so, yeah, i think he is the greatest overall ever; but duncan, by far, is the greatest power forward, no, forward, ever.

I don't think that the argument here was that duncan is better than Jordan. I think it's that Duncan has had one of the best 10 year stretches ever, even compared to a guy like jordan.

Wait, somebody will turn it to one. Duncan with & without Manu.

The Bulls went 57-25 in 1992/93
The next year, with Jordan retired, the Bulls went 55-27
This does not compare to Duncan.
Jordan is also a guard, not a big man.
The days of little men dominating basketball are pre-George Mikan/WWII

You forgot to mention the Bulls 60 win seasons prior to the 92-93 season.
Jordan managed 5 60+ seasons over his career, all within an 8 year period. Granted he was out for a 2 seasons.
However, Duncan's career isn't over yet. If he can capture a couple more rings, I think the arguement is more than justified. We just have to wait and cheer.
