Where would Tim Duncan rank all time with 6 rings?

[Real14]

you are right. i followed the conv you guys had in this thread and you win. 10 victory points for you and loser aj1987 has to watch 1 hr footage of lebron in the clutch as punishment

Damn that's severe

Hmm....Tony Parker would have won the FMVP for the way he "closed" out the Game, Duncan would be the same probably.

Duncan would definitely have been FMVP if Spurs won in 2013:

13 Finals
Duncan 18.9 pts / 12.1 rebs / 1.4 asst / 1.4 blk 49%
Parker 15.7 pts / 6.4 asst 41.2%

With 6 rings, 4 FMVPs and 2 MVPs, possible case for 4-5 - would pass Bird, Shaq, Wilt. IMO, only MJ, KAJ, Russell definitely ahead and maybe Magic.

solid five spot. probably would have got fmvp. but I think its still taken into consideration. a lot of legitimate list have him top 5-7

But there's only like 5 minutes of footage of LeBron in the clutch doe.

You are considering game 6 and 7....

Game 6 Parker despite sucking "closed" out the Game.
Game 7 he was terrible. Both games Duncan was great in, but washed away if Ray had not hit that 3.

they are adam morrison kind of rings right now, his all-time rank doesnt change; below kobe, miles above bran

See above for 2013 Finals. As far as this past Finals is concerned, if Duncan was a role player, they were all role players. I saw him as 2nd most important (to Leonard). Remember defense is half of the game.

im exagerating, but point still is his all time ranking doesnt move that much in this team and his role will only diminish

Not to mention that game 6 he was having was the best performance from any Spur during that series. He had almost 30 points by halftime.

So you think that because Parker "closed" out the game, his 19 pts / 8 asst would get him FMVP over Duncan's 30 pts / 17 rebs in game 6?

[GrapeApe]

Obviously winning a ring now wouldn't carry the same weight as when he was a dominant player, but if he's a solid contributor on a championship team I see no reason for it not to enhance his legacy.

Are these the 7 game series numbers? Because parker was so exhausted in that OT and game 7 that all his numbers suffered.

If the spurs had won.. it wouldve been in regulation game 6.. and tony parker closed out game 1 and game 6 almost single handedly against a top 5 goat in lebron.. with unbelieveable shot/plays.

If the spurs had won it in those last seconds of game 6.. theres no question parker wouldve gotten FMVP for his storyline performances closing the heat out.

Yes. Especially since Game 7 didnt happen. He also had the Game winner in Game 1.

Not trying to imply anything about Duncan or Parker, just the way it would have turned out.

and putting up a donut in the second half..

[JT123]

Same place he is now. Duncan is no more important to the Spurs than Norris Cole was to the Heat in their back to back titles. In fact I'm pretty sure that if he had been forced to sit out this past Finals due to injury, the Spurs still would have easily won. Is there ANY Spurs fan that disagrees with me?
