Curry was other-worldly this regular season but watching him and the Warriors this playoffs makes me appreciate Duncan's 2003 season (start to finish) that much more. Duncan led the team in EVERY major statistical category except steals in the playoffs. Its absolutely insane to me for a BIG to lead the team in assists over the entire course of a playoffs/championship run. Just shouldn't and doesn't happen. The team as a whole shot like 40% the entire playoffs outside of him. In other words Duncan HAD to shoulder the load in essentially EVERY facet for 24 of the toughest games of the season. He basically COULDN'T take a night off or they don't compete. Curry can rely and heavily at that on others for support and not even be the best player on a number of nights. Duncan really didn't have that luxury. Curry's a beast no doubt but that year was historic.

TD was and is on another level as a player. Accomplishments like that make me sad that I missed that era and I have come to see him in his twilight, where he's still been magnificent but clearly not on that level. To sustain that kind of production when you are the one guy carrying the load throughout every game was just probably one of the most amazing feats by a player in the modern era.
