Can anyone get a still of that Duncan graphic?

How can Kareem not be leading that list? Dude played 237 playoff games.

Lot of 7-9 rebound games the last half of his very long career

Yeah as others have said, Kareem wasn't very physically imposing post-1980. That's really when he became a finesse player. I can see him getting boxed out by guys a lot shorter but wider than him. Young Kareem, on the other hand, was a rebounding beast. I guess you could say he went soft at some point.

Technically he can catch Magic in this playoffs

I always tell people, it's easy much easier to achieve greatness and win when you played for the old Celtics or any version of the Lakers..

Duncan has achieved greatness for a franchise that doesn't attract free agents and doesn't want to spend money..a franchise that didn't win before him and possibly won't win after him, tbh..people need to remember that when they are ranking players..

I agree 100%. That is one of the reasons why I always put Timmy in my top 5.

I was so fortunate to be 13 when San Antonio drafted Duncan. I got to watch him my whole teenage years and young adult years. Truely the best I have ever seen other than MJ.

Tim Duncan is a symbol of my adulthood, meaning he has been in the NBA for my entire adult life. I was 17 when he was drafted, which was the summer between my junior and senior years of high school. Hands down, the great player of the post-Jordan era!!

I've always thought the criteria for ranking players all-time should be where they'd get drafted in a hypothetical all-time draft if the GM knew everything about the player/person they'd be in the NBA. Drafting Tim Duncan essentially guarantees you 17 years of post scoring, elite defense, and exceptional basketball IQ. He'll be the best player on the planet for around 5 of those years, never have an issue with teammates, and no drama in the media or off-the-court issues. He'll also allow his coach to yell at him, and take whatever role his team needs him to.

That level of consistency and performance on both ends of the court, for that long, is extremely rare. I think that using that criteria he only falls behind Jordan, Russell, Wilt, and possibly Kareem. I think he is in the same tier as Magic, Bird, and Kobe with his longevity probably giving him an edge over the first two and his lack of drama giving him the edge over the latter.

Love it

[Dre_7]

I think he is the best big man to ever play. He had/has it all. Offense, defense, and the ability to make his teammates better. That, and he has done it consistantly for 16 years!

I took a photo off my 120" projector screen last night, then Instagrammed it. I like how it starts to fade away when you get to Shaq lol.

Same here, thanks ace3g. Awesome.

I believe he passes Magic.

[Dre_7]

Thanks to those who posted pics.

Hopefully its 144 double doubles after tonight!

[spurraider21]

15 more double doubles to pass magic. not as easy as it sounds. it would help if we can make the finals though

I know what you mean by "win" (a championship), but if you broaden your definition of win, just a little, then Duncan is the perfect superstar for the Spurs. This franchise, just wins. Consistently. We have missed the playoffs only 5 times in 46 years.

Different but still awesome
