A lot of those are close, but they still go to Russ. In general, Timmy was a better shooter & scorer: That's it
Both had great coaches, but Russ also had the extra pressure & responsibility of being his own head coach for the last 3 years of his career.

Nobody EVER...EVER talks about how Duncan as the best player in the world at the time, "led" the 04' USA team to a bronze medal in the Olympics. That was a bad roster & a lot of the fault goes to Larry Brown, but some of it should fall at Timmy's feet. #1 has to step up & deliver
For me: Duncan is top 7-8, and CANNOT be lower than 10.
For me: Russell is top 2, and CANNOT be lower than 5.
