Probably due to his pedestrian stat line this season, although it's due to us not needing him to score or play as much. But whatever, Timmy doesn't care. All bout winning #6.

The NBA.Com has an "Old School" Power Rankings which ranks players 33 and older. In the latest Top Ten you've got Tony and Manu, but no Timmy.....This is made worse by Kobe being ranked fairly high (4).
No Duncan? Blasphemy! Gotta think it was because Timmy rested a game last week (and this ranking is weighted towards recent production), and/or because he's not asked to score much anymore.
Still...

Agreed. I don't care what the reason is, and I don't care whether or not Tim cares...it is just wrong and confirms the bias in over-reliance on stats.http://www.nba.com/2015/news/12/19/o..._page:trending

This. How many GM's would take this season's Kobe over this season's Duncan? Very few, I'd imagine.
It's probably just a ploy to gain readership. That list got more clicks because of Duncan's exclusion than it ever would have gotten.
Mission accomplished for the writer.
Can't help putting Kobe over Tim one last time.
Just saw the Kobe dunk for the first time. You'd think it was Ginobili-over-Bosh the way it's been hyped.
its the rankings for last week ... raw stats were not impressive and Timmy sat out a game ... so its understandable
Tim's still a piece we can't win without (has been for many years). Still doesn't make him better than Tony at this point, no shame in it.
Pop should take a game to experiment with higher usage of Timmy to see what he has in him this season offensively..Still, I'm not worried TD always takes it up a notch in the playoffs and this preservation plan should help ..
Of course, you'd have to actually click on the article to see Duncan wasn't included so I'm guessing probably not.
His traditional stat line of points & rebounds per game looks pedestrian, but he still has the highest Defensive Rating in the entire NBA (http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/rpm/_/sort/DRPM). I don't view that stat as infallible, but it's still pretty impressive that Tim leads by a pretty significant margin...
Yeah, but it says this at the top of the article:
- Notes: Statistics are through games of Dec. 17. Rankings are based on entire regular season with heavy emphasis on recent play.
- Any player who turns 33 during the regular season can be added to the Old School Power Rankings
39 years old leading the league in DRPM and DBPM, he's the Greatest Of All Time.
Meh, let the Lakers fans have this one. They have so little in this holiday season.
hmmm ... then these rankings are INACCEPTABLE!!!

Kobe was shooting 32 FG last I checked. Maybe, it's ticked up a few points; but putting him over anyone is highly su ious.
Whoever they are, Jimmer's agent needs to get on the horn with them, stat!
For the record, I had nothing to do with these!http://www.nba.com/2015/news/12/19/o..._page:trending
