Duncan was a Ray Allen shot away from 5 with 4 FMVPs. If they come back to win like they did the next year he has, 6 and 4. More FMVPs than anyone but Jordan. As it is he's matched with Lebron, Shaq and Magic. Who cares if he never repeated? I'd take Duncan's 5 over the Piston's repeat anytime.
Other players on Duncan's tier have had a repeat or 3peat (Mike, Magic, Shaq, Hakeem, Lebron). Hell, Kobe even had a repeat with Gasol. Also by 2013 Duncan was no longer the same player, he had a 2.9 BPM in playoffs.

Jordan said he would of returned in 1999 for a 1 year deal, the problem was Scottie and Phil Jackson both wanted to leave desperately.
Also, Kobe would always destroy Duncan. So I'm sure Jordan would have his way with him as well.
I would of loved to see 1999 bulls vs 1999 spurs finals, that would of been the toughest opponent of the dynasty.

I’ve never been a huge Duncan fan, regardless of his take on Jordan.
Bronze medal mustering overrated CENTER, who takes it in his brown eye.
One of his rings doesn’t even hold value (1999) the worst professional NBA season ever, right next to 2012. And then his 2014 ring as a role player. With their best player being Kawhi Leonard. Damn near subtract two chips from his ring count on his resume.

The fact that these MJ stans are shitting on Duncan for a comment he made 20+ years ago in which he simply said he wasn't a fan of MJ is one of the funniest/pathetic things I've seen on this site. Just shows you how nuts these guys are.
