Top 10.
7 or 8
i would say top 10 ten as well...i was watching espn radio talk earlier and only one guy had timmy in the top 10 at 10
Tim is usually referred to as a top 10 player of all time:
i have seen him ranked anywhere from 7-10. mostly in the 8-9 range though. never seen anyone rank him below 10.
Top 10
who gives a crap
the media does not
because he does not rape people
sadly, this is true..
if Duncan ranted all over the media and made a tape insulting Matt Bonner and asking for him to be shipped out, he would be loved..
if Timmy raped a young woman in Colorado, including doing some kinky , the media would love him..
following that, if Timmy told the cops that one of his teammates has had similar problems but pays the girls off, he would be loved by the media..
if Timmy quit on his team in a game 7, he would be loved..
what a strange society we live in..
you should know better than to listen to ESPN bro..
haha yea i know man just thought i throw those dummies stupid ideas out there i just wanted the opinion of my fellow spurs fans
Right now, I have him at 7, and another ring would put him in the top 5 IMO.
Top 1
But who would do such a thing?! OH , I forgot, kobe pulled this a couple years ago! Keep living blindly laker fans. Your star doesn't give a about your city
According to ESPN, he is probably a little lower than LeBron James and Dwayne Wade.
And has more rings than both of them combined.
He is the best ever......
forward from the Virgin Islands named Tim.
Seriously, I put him 6th behind Russell, Jordan, Wilt, Kareem and Magic
top 10 easily
This kind of reminds me of the All-Star game (not too sure, but i think it was in NY in 2002 maybe? someone can look it up) where they had the top 50 players of all time.....AND TIMMY WAS ALREADY THERE! Im not sure what number he was, but it was awesome to see him regarded so highly while he was still pretty young.
If i ever met Tim Duncan, this is a potential dream scenario of how it would go down:
Me: It is honor to meet you Mr. Duncan.
Tim: Thank you. (then, considering this thread, he asks) James, do you think ESPN and the media will ever consider me a top 10 player of all time?
Me: Who gives a what those assholes think. You're so money and you dont even know it! Now lets go hang and play some D&D....perhaps a little 2K9?
Tim: Do you have a man crush on me or something?
Me: .........is that bad?
Tim: All good buddy. Ill call Bruce too.
I think that's a good spot too.He is the best ever......

Best PF of all time, to me this makes him in the top 5.
Easily Top 8, possibly higher depending on your standards.
I go Bird at 6 (one of the 2 or 3 best all-around offensive players and compe ors I've ever seen) and Shaq at 7 (more dominant, higher peak), but you could make a solid case for Duncan over both. Duncan is the better two-way player and has more rings than Bird, and he was more consistent and dependable than Shaq. So those are all pick-ems depending on your individual standards.
I can't put him over anybody higher than that -- Jordan, Kareem, Wilt, Magic and Russell. Russell maybe -- maybe -- but it's just too hard for me to ignore 11 championships and five MVPS.
Plus, I believe he provided even more of the defensive and intangible impact that so often goes overlooked with Duncan. If people can do that with somebody like Tim, who they've seen playing regularly on TV for more than a decade, there's no telling how underrated someone like Russell with only grainy film clips to study.
Top 10 of All Time. I wouldn't bother too much with where he ends up there, everyone in the Top 10 represents the best the NBA has to offer in some way or another.
I was thinking about a comment that Gasol made on how European players have something in their game that Americans don't, and I agree. I haven't seen many NBA players actually playing and excelling at NBA Basketball...they carry over the street mentality and style that never really allows them to get anywhere. Tim Duncan and his career is the perfect representation of NBA basketball...he mastered the rules and strategy of the game, and he's got the resume to prove it. He's always been a quiet leader w/ solid stats that won't stop fighting to get the W for his team. He hasn't had to himself out to advertisers or complain to get his point across. He's never tried to start trouble or tear anyone down. And, if his lack of "star power" isn't enough to be in the Top 10, then it's not a Top 10 list I care about.

I think you got Tim mixed up with Shaq. And that was the 1997 All-Star Game in Cleveland, where they had the top 50 players of all-time, and Shaq was named to that team in only his 5th season in the NBA.
No argument from me, it make sense that the top 5 spots should go to the best ever at each position.
Tim Duncan is top 10 without a doubt. Kobe needs to win another on his own before he can get there. If he can get a repeat next year with another Finals MVP. He'll be top 10 as well.
