"He Wasn't Flashy" and that was his Crime

Shaq said about Duncan as to why Duncan doesn't get any credit.

plain and simple.....

"He wasn't Flashy". Reason Kobe is ranked higher than Duncan by fans. Kobe was flashy. immitated GOAT.

Duncan was opposite. Boring. workman like. quiet. barely gave expressions.

still...
