Duncan was brought up in an era where an elite post game had immense value due to heavy midrange ( lower % 2) & low usage of 3s.
It was a game played in the paint and no one was better than TD manufacturering O for himself & teammates when doubled, and defending the paint.

He carried two teams as the lone elite star to championship glory -- going through prime Shaq & Kobe twice w/out a star sidekick.
He also came up in the prime PF era -- featuring KG, Dirk, CWebb, Malone, Sheed, McDyess, Jermaine O Neal, Amare, Pau, Kenyon Martin. And from 98-07 ( Tim's elite prime), TD was the main guy they ALL gunned for and fell short time & time again.
From 1998- 2007 ( Manu became an All Star in 05, TP in 06), Tim was 13-2 in playoff series vs the above PFs that gunned for him. All while winning back 2 back MVPs, 3 Finals MVPs, and 4 titles in that span.
He dominated his era when his era of PFs were at its peak.

Put Anthony Davis into the late 90s & early 00s, and he wouldn't touch Timmy when it came to the paint game on both ends. Anthony Davis hasn't been capable of carrying a team as a lone star his whole career. Tim did it for 5-6 years in his prime & won BIG.
