    Well, free throw shooting is true...but that's not all.

    Here's one: for Duncan being as dominant as he is, and a great rebounder, he gets 3.4 offensive rebounds a game. Good for most players, but the following guys do better:

    Ben Wallace
    Emeka Okafor
    Nazr Mohammed
    Kevin Garnett
    Dwight Howard
    Shaquille O'Neal
    Zach Randolph

    Footwork. He has bad footwork, and he's just simply slow on his feet. His bad footwork often leads to turnovers and lack of hustle. Don' get me wrong, Duncan is the type of player who would hustle his ass off, but with his inabilty to get on the ground and move it doesn't allow him to give the Spurs those hustle plays.

    I somewhat agree, except it wouldn't be fair not to mention that San Antonio shoots a better percentage than all of the player's teams that you listed with the exception of Shaq in Miami. Thus he dosen't have as many potential offensive rebounds as the other players do.

    Free Throw Shooting. He's the best all around big in the league. And No he doesn't have bad footwork. He's one of the few post players left in the league. He's not Kenyan Martin that's gonna get you fastbreak baskets. You really don't need that from someone giving you 25 and 15 every night.

    His only real weakness is his foul shooting but even then It's not exactly terrible, he is shooting around 66% from the free-throw line this season. Tim is a near prefect basketball player. I will take that FT line weakness that comes along with everything else he brings to the table.
