    People forget the 1997-2004 Spurs teams perennially owned some of the league's slowest paces. This contributed to most Spur players having lower per game averages.

    And since the majority of the country has their collective opinions warped by the BSPN talking heads (analysts who mainly look at per game stats to value/rank players) then Americans in general have consistently underrated the Spurs' greats.

    Timmy's easily top-7 all-time in terms of all-around game, and probably number 1 if you want to talk about the ultimate teammate. Man it was awesome to have witnessed that first hand. You hear the old-man stories about guys who got to see Russell and Wilt play...someday all of us lucky assholes will get to say we saw Tim Duncan do his work. Pretty cool. He's definitely a guy where the raw stats do little to justify his incredible impact on the court.

    Additionally no small contributor is the phucking he and the Spurs got from RiggedRef.
    Dirk stepping on his foot etc etc.

    Spurs were never the Stern and media choice.

    Tim's peak seasons ('97-'07) are very comparable to Hakeem's.

    Check out the per 100 possession numbers: http://bkref.com/tiny/HVs2c

    If you prefer raw stats they check out their first 6 when Tim was carrying the entire offense: http://bkref.com/tiny/cXIaS

    In terms of absolute scoring, Timmy is relatively weak comparing with other GOAT bigs (though still at All-Time Great level), yet his offense efficiency (ORTG, TS%), and offensive output (OBPM and OWS, not included in the chart) is at the top-tier level among the GOAT bigs. That means he is definitely offensively great, if not superior.
