This is an interesting post. I have thought many times that Duncan resembles Bill Russell: great defense, not-so-dominant-stats, a winner and clutch player with multiple championships who is easy to build a championship team around.
When we think about the all-time great players, only 2 come to mind that weren't dominant offensive players: Russell and Duncan.
Good post.
