Go re-watch the Finals IF you truly think otherwise.

Based on last season's play, Duncan was the best player on the team. Yes, Kawhi and Tony are physically more capable than Tim but what he lacks in physical ability he's learned to make up for with his understanding of the game and high BBIQ. He is still the anchor for everything the team does and without him the team wouldn't have beat Dallas in the first round.

He was the best interior defender, best rebounder and was the second best scorer on the team during the regular season. I know it's hard to imagine that a 37 year old center - especially with his ridiculous mileage - was the best player on a championship team, but dude actually was. And unlike Parker, he didn't phone it in throughout most of the season on one side of the court.
