The Bulls went 55-27 during the season without Jordan.
I don't really watch basketball ever -- just wondering if Duncan doesn't get his due because he plays in a small market, with a defensive style, and a drama-less personality.

The point you are making is true. He's vastly underrated because of SA and because of his style and personality. The funny thing is that he may be underrated..........even though many people acknowledge him as at the very least, one of the top three power forwards ever. Quite a few list him at the top of that list. I don't think he'd be put at the top of the greatest players ever though, although I think he's belonging of a seat at the table and a title this year would really make it a great conversation.
