The best player of the 20's is unequivocally Jokic right now, even if SGA scored 50 points in back to back games to close out the title win.

KB was the best player of the 2000s by a wide margin, TNT had a poll on this at the end of the decade it wasn't even close. KB made 6 Finals to Duncan's 3 in that decade and beat him 4 out of 5 times in the Playoffs, all 5 times the winner of the Lakers - Spurs series would end up making the Finals.

Yea..no.
Arguably the best? Absolutely. There ain’t no wide margins whatsoever though my guy.

2003: Duncan
2004: Duncan
2005: Duncan
2006: Kobe
2007: Could make an argument for both

Seems like Duncan might have the edge

Jokic certainly has a case for best player of the 20s, but he's on the descent it seems while SGA is on the ascent. We'll have to see how the rest of the decade plays out.
60's - Russell
70's - Kareem
80's - Bird
90's - MJ
00's - Duncan
10's - LeBron
20's - Jokic (So far)

Yes, pretty easily too.
2010: LeBron
2011: LeBron (You can put Dirk if you feel)
2012: LeBron
2013: LeBron
2014: LeBron
2015: LeBron
2016: LeBron
2017: LeBron
2018: LeBron
2019: Kawhi
One of the easiest decades to call along with the 70's & 90's.
60's, 80's, & 00's I could at least see a debate. 20's is still in process.

Duncan pretty much played at an MVP level all season while Kobe was a damn near cancer during the regular season, that's when Kobe really started to rebel against Phil Jackson, he for sure made up for it in the playoffs, especially vs Duncan and the Spurs which is why I won't argue too much if someone picks him.

We're talking about the start of 99-00 season to the end of the 08-09 one. Duncan and Shaq were both past their primes in the 2nd half of that decade and KB shit on Duncan in the POs too many times for anyone to pick Timmy just off those 10 seasons alone.

2010 is not counted here.

Duncan was very arguably a better player for more years during that time frame than Kobe.
Again, anyone saying that it isn't close between one or the other is full of it.

5 of the 10 are locks for Kobe and he made it out of the WC twice as much as Duncan in those 10 seasons despite 3 of them being wasted on bad teams in the middle of his prime. Eliminating Duncan 4 times while taking his soul in 4th quarters elevates KB quite comfortably. Tbh the argument is between Kobe and Shaq but Shaq was out of his prime by '04. It just works out for KB in this stretch because he enters his prime at the start of the decade.

'06, '08 & '09 are the only locks for Kobe, and even in '06 Duncan performed better in the playoffs than Kobe did.
