I'm still just as dumbfounded as I was when I first heard Shaq say that.
Tim has the edge. I've never heard Tim say stupid stuff like, "I need my touches if you want me to protect the rim."

I'm not cause plenty of big men have that dumb mentality, the fact Duncan doesn't have it is a reason why he's my favorite player.

I'm Cool with Tim being the best player at his position...ever.
I know this is an old thread, but an easy answer:
When two of the guys on the list of three played together, and still haven't accomplished more than the other guy.....
awesome post!
1998-2008 is not a decade
A decade is a 10-year period.
1998-2007 is a decade.
1999-2008 is a decade.
1998-2008 is a 11-year period.
a year is a length of time. any term that is used to describe measurement starts with 0. and since the starting time is 1998, it has to be given a value of 0. so,
1998-1999 is year 1,
1999-2000... year 2,
...
2007-2008 is year 10.
You're wrong.
a child born on october 1998... how old is the child by december of that year? a year later, how old is the kid? ten years after?
whenever you deal with measurements, you always start with 0.
Seriously, open a dictionnary.
you're one "n" too many.
Duncan easily, but I still don't understand why many insist he did it alone.
Sure he was the anchor, but he played with some very good players.
I am good in maths not in english, i learned it on the internet...
If you don't have a dictionary...

the only franchise-level player duncan has ever played with was drob. 2003, tim was basically on his own.
from your dictionary and math skills, what is the defiinition of a year?
2001 = 1 year = january 1 to december 31
2002 = 1 year = january 1 to december 31
2003 ... etc
2004
2005
2006
2007
2008
2009
2010
2001-2010 = 10 years
I will go with Timmy and I truly believe this would never be questioned if Tim wasn't such a unselfish player. Tim is the only superstar I know that will completely sacrifice his own numbers for the betterment of the team. How many times has Tim passed out from the post to a more open teammate when he could have taken a shot for himself? I have no doubt that if he really really wanted....Tim could play 40 minutes a game and average 30pt & 15rebs (maybe not 40 now a days but definitely the first 6-7 years).
by your definition, a year is a measure of time... it is a period approximately 365 days long. calendar year is defined by the period from january 1 to december 31. unfortunately, nba season doesn't start on january 1, does it? so in effect, one nba season encompasses parts of 2 succeeding calendar years.

You don't think Tony & Manu are franchise level players?
Not saying they were franchise level in 2003, but Tony, Manu and even Jack weren't scrubs. It justs seems as if the others get no credit.
THEY'RE NOT SCRUBS! they are superstars! but franchise level? only Manu can have that claim especially the way he played in '05.
Ok...so Tim really wasn't "on his own" after David left.
A decade is a group of ten years.
A year is from january 1 to december 31. A "calendar" year.
What you describe is called a season.
A decade is not a group of ten seasons.
The word "decade" is a very specific term.

I am sorry but a year is 365days plus some change....period. My birthday is in July and guess what happens exactly one [U]year[U] later...yep birthday. A decade is simply 10 consecutive years...no matter what the start date is.
The Chinese would definitely argue about your start and end dates as well.
1998 season started in October. A decade would go until October 2008.
The bigger picture is Tim Duncan has been the MVP in the post-Jordan era....the rest is semantics.
