Duncan final stats in 2003 underrated

[dubeta]

Both Duncan and Shaqs finals numbers from 2000-2007 are overrated due to feasting on scrub teams

[Milbuck]

I have this as the 2nd best finals performance since MJ, after peak Shaq..grouping all those 3-peat finals together.

I'd honestly take 2001-2003 Duncan over any version of Lebron/Kobe/Durant/Wade/etc to build around..he was just everything you wanted out of a franchise player, mostly because he could elevate the team and everyone's game on both ends of the floor in a way no one has been able to do in a long time.

Scary to think what 2003 Duncan would've been able to do if he had Manu and TP in their primes at that time..

I thank you for this.

Lebron lost 3 times in the Finals.

STFU no one cares what you say cuz you talk stupid to make Lebron look good

Half of Duncan's success is just from Pop' masterful offensive schemes

Take that away and you have your generic 20/10 player that's a dime a dozen (zach Randolph, Demarcus cousins etc)

Good player not great

Magic, Wade, and Bird had some good Finals as well. Comparable to the '03 Finals. LeBron had an EPIC Playoff run in '12, not just the Finals, BTW. '01-'03 Duncan was EPIC, but lets not act like he was significantly better than LeBron or Wade or Kobe. Those guys pretty good as well.

Still lost less finals then Lebron and went less times

=Tim Duncan in the FINALS put up

24.2 PPG 17 RPG 5.3 APG 1 SPG 5.3 BPG on 50FG%

Thats beast stats on both ends of the floor
Most underrated finals ever

He was getting buckets , rebounding and making plays for his team, as well as ELITE defense.

Second leading scorer was tony parker on 14 PPG he was averaging 10 more points then the second scorer.

He also held Kenyon Martin to 34FG%

GOAT PF

I dont think Lebron has a Finals better then this, neither do Kobe
he played stupid good on both ends

Aww the Kobe fan playing his bit now

Awww Kobe fan has his panties in a bunch....

I agree that Duncan's 2003 is better than any season, playoff, or finals run Kobe ever had.

Also,
3 fmvps 》 2
2 mvps》 1 in 17 seasons
Very nice.

Definitely, we're talking a pretty small difference. Offensively all 3 of Lebron/Kobe/Wade were probably better, and I wasn't counting Bird/Magic, just post-MJ players. The thing that tips it to Duncan's favor for me over the modern era perimeter guys was his defensive impact those couple years in his peak, which I don't think anyone except peak KG has approached in the past 15-18 years since the 90s centers.

Kenyon Martin?

Kenyon was a damn good defensive PF, strong/athletic as hell too.

Plus...

If Lebron played the 02-03 Nets they would be GOAT team
