I'm not a huge Spurs fan, but I think Duncan has probably bumped Barkley off the all-time starting 5 in the power forward position.

Two numbers that really stick out about Duncan, and his team.

QuoteBest Plus-Minus since Tim Duncan debuted in 1997:

+8910,  Tim Duncan

No one else above +7000

QuoteIf you combined the career plus-minus totals of Ray Allen (+3,551), Dwyane Wade (+2,941), and Kevin Durant (+1,964), it would still fall short of Tim Duncan's ... by about 500 points.

He was so great for so long that he almost gets forgotten. And he made it look so damn easy.
