>>> I love Duncan, and think he's a great player, but he's a bit overrated. He's not athletic enough to become a dominant player in the league, IMHO.<<<

I've been saying this for years and my friends all mock me for it. He definitely does not reek of athleticism. Nothing he does ever makes my jaw drop. Compared to most big men, he can't jump any higher, he doesn't have a quicker first step, he's not more explosive. He may have a slightly better shot.

What makes him a great player is his grasp of fundamentals and his mental toughness. He keep the ball high on a rebound and put it back up. He's got excellent footwork and knows how to use leverage in the post. And he'll hit the big shot when it counts.

He's great in a McHalian sort of way instead of a Shaqullian sort of way.
