Tim Duncan is one of the most decorated players in NBA History. The big man dedicated almost 2 long decades to the San Antonio Spurs and helped them be one of the most successful organisations in the league.
Even though Tim didn’t have a “flashy” style of play, he gave buckets to every player who tried to guard him, using the insanely deep offensive arsenal he had in his bag. And finished his career with an impressive average of 19 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.2 blocks per game.
There is virtually no accolade Timmy hasn’t achieved. During the 1,392 games he played in his 19-year stint as a professional basketball player, Duncan was a 15-time All-Star, 15-time All-NBA, 15-time All-Defensive, 5-time NBA Champ, 3-time Finals MVP, 2-time MVP, and arguably one of the best big men to set foot on the hardwood.
And recently, former NBA champ Channing Frye expressed his curiosity regarding the Spurs legend’s inclusion in people’s top 5 list.

As soon as Channing tweeted it out, NBA Twitter went crazy with reactions and replies.
he is not better than Bird/Magic/Shaq/Kobe.
But he is not worse either.
so people may have put 5 to 10 guys over him. that’s okay.— AtakanMu (@atakanmu) October 27, 2021
Because he’s simply not better than MJ, Bron, Kareem, Magic, or Bill Russell.
No shame in that at all, Tim was incredible.

I assume because he wasnt flashy enough for NBA. Being great isnt enough in today’s league gotta have a cultural impact.

Small market team + non-flashy style / personality

Several people have different parameters for their top 5 list. Sadly, Duncan not being flashy is one of the main reasons for his exclusions out of fans’ lists.
