Tim Duncan, 48, is a living legend who was included in the NBA's 75th anniversary great 76ers. He is famous for being the greatest power forward of all time in the NBA.
However, from 1,392 NBA regular season games between 1997 and 2016, power forward participation amounted to 17,052.5 minutes, accounting for only 36 percent. Of the 9,370 minutes played in 251 NBA games, 2717.3 minutes 29 percent was smaller.
On the other hand, the percentage of center play increased to 63 percent 29,841.8 minutes during the regular season and 71 percent 6652.7 minutes during the playoffs. There are growing questions over whether the team should consider the power forward as the main position of Duncan, who played 34.8 percent 19,769.8 minutes in the official game of the U.S. National Basketball Association.
Team Duncan has an average power forward of 12.0 minutes and center of 22.2 minutes in 1,643 regular league and postseason games. As the power forward has changed to a position closer to the small forward than the center in the NBA, it is more appropriate to compare it with the center that is assisted by the forward duo.
Nikola Jokic of Serbia is the best center of the NBA in the 2020s since Duncan, who won the top place in the 1990s 1999, 2000s 2003, 2005 2007, and 2010s 2014. Do we need more explanations than the MVP of the 2021 2022 2024 regular season and the MVP of the 2023 final.
Mazen 55, China, a gold medalist in men's basketball at the 11th Beijing Summer Asian Games, chose another great 76-member of the NBA, Nikola Jokic Tim Duncan, as one of the top three centers since the 2000s.
Mazen was also a member of Spain's 25th Barcelona Summer Olympics in 1992. From 1993 to 1995, he played 40 Western Athletic Conference games for the basketball team of the University of Utah in the first division of the American College Sports Association.
He is the first Asian born outside the United States to play in NCAA Division I. In 2016, LeBron James 40' Cleveland Cavaliers overcame his inferiority and became China's top basketball expert, accurately predicting that he would win the NBA championship.
"Nikola Jokic is superior to Tim Duncan in terms of individual ability overall. Of course, Duncan was also outstanding when I was an active player, but he was able to maximize all his natural talent and value thanks to his teamwork in GDP and coaching philosophy that encompasses Gregg Popovich's team as a whole," Magen said.
Tim Duncan played all the time with the San Antonio Spurs led by Gregg Popovich, who was named one of the 15 greatest players in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the NBA. He stands for Manu Hinovili 47 of Argentina, Tim Duncan and Tony Parker 42 of France, who won the title from 2003 to 2007 and 2014.
Manu Hinovili was the MVP of the 28th Athens Olympics in 2004, and Tony Parker was the MVP of the 2007 NBA Finals. Both of them were talented people who felt for granted that they were inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
"Nicola Jokic led the Denver Nuggets to the top of the NBA on her own. It is not limited to the center position, but the core of the entire team's teamwork. It's worthwhile to say that she surpassed Tim Duncan," Magen said.
"Nicola Jokic's scoring ability, method and means are stronger than Shaquille O'Neal as well as Tim Duncan," said Magen, who praised his offensive strengths. "But Shaquille O'Neal is certainly the best in terms of taking control of both sides of offense and defense in the paint zone we call 'dominant'.

Shaquille O'Neal called himself the most dominant player in the history of the Most Dominant Ever, or NBA, after leading the Los Angeles Lakers to three consecutive NBA victories from 2000 to 2002. Mazen also acknowledged that he was "the strongest big man of all time, beyond his time."
"Nicola Jokic surpassed Tim Duncan, but she still has a big gap with Shaquille O'Neal. In terms of overall performance, positional competitiveness, and dynamic athletic ability, O'Neal was another level to Jokic." - Majen, a Chinese basketball expert from NCAA D1 -
