Duncan won same number of rings with way less help, way smaller budget. Once Giannis and Jokic finish their careers, people will realize how difficult it is to win 5 rings with a small market, overrated franchise like the Spurs.
2 MVP 3 FMVP is also a higher tier than 1 MVP 2 FMVP. Duncan’s true impact on winning is simply amazing.
Duncan’s help is underrated. Advanced statistics such as box plus minus and win shares have Manu as the most important player for the rings 3 and 4. Thinking basketball had a good video of this
