Today, US media ClutchPoints counted a defensive data from Tim Duncan.
Duncan has been selected into the All-Defensive Team 15 times (most in history), including 8 first defenses and 7 second defenses, leading second-place Kobe and Garnett three times.
However, throughout his career, Duncan has never won the Best Defensive Player Award, and he ranked third most in the Best Defensive Player selection.
ClutchPoints said: "One round after round, year after year of persistence, he is the reason why the Spurs don't need to panic. But his greatness is silent. And this silence may cost him. When the spotlight chases more ostentatious defenders, Duncan just silently does better than anyone else. However, voters ignore him again and again. Now this cannot be compensated. There are no retrospective awards. But history has long memories, and the basketball world remembers who is the real guardian. 15 times selected for the best defensive team, 5 times championships, yet he has never won the best defensive player award."
