Should those type of things be included? Probably not. Is it included, you bet. When you start talking about the top 10-15 players, it's much more than stats and accomplishments, it's about legacy.
Duncan is definitely going to be a legend, but the fact of the matter is, part of the reason why he won't be mentioned in that class is partly because of his personality and fundamentally sound game among other things. You can't say that about Magic, Bird or Michael.
