Was Tim Duncan ever considered the best player in the NBA for a season?

Better question is: Was Kobe?

99-03 - Shaq or Duncan

04 - Garnett

05 - Duncan

06 - Wade

07 - Dirk in the reg, Duncan in the playoffs.

08 to 10 - Lebron

11 - Dirk

2006-2008, its not even a question that Kobe was the best player in the league those 3 years
2009-2010, is close, but give me the back to back Finals MVP Champion

I'll just have to assume you're a troll because of your username, but LeBron s all over Kobe. Give me any statistic that Kobe is better in. Maybe like... what... free throw percentage? LOL

Td was da best playa that season 05 cos the potential candidates were all suckin bad imho, plus the spurs had the best W/L record in the regular season. the spurs were doing great that season as always while other teams in general were dormant, that was a true achievement but not a hard-earned one imho just like dream's two rings 94' and 95'

Duncan in 03 was so far and away the best player in the NBA..

This. He was ridiculous, and there wasn't even anyone in his rear-view mirror.

I'd wager to say 2004 is debatable between Timmy and KG because Tim anchored the best defensive team in league history as far as OPPG goes iirc

[Leetonidas]

And that's with Hedo's choking got ass in the starting lineup

or maybe he came off the bench, I can't remember too well. But lol Ron Mercer got big minutes back then too

Kobe from 2005-2011
