2. Tim Duncan – San Antonio Spurs
Tim Duncan is a locked-in first round future of Hall-of-Famer.
That fact along is the reason why he is a top two choice on this list, and until recently, would have had a mortage on the number one spot.
Apart from all of his God-given gifts on he court, what sets Duncan apart from almost any other player in the NBA today or in the past 20 years, is his ability to create an excellent team culture.
As the years roll on and his body is not able to keep up with playing 35 plus minutes a night, Duncan has been more than happy for the Spurs to change from an inside-out team based around him at the offence end, to a run and gun team with wing shooters and role-players.
If it that kind winning is everything cost that sets him apart from others great players as he is able to detach himself from being “the man” on a team and still being productive from a smaller role.
