Tim Duncan is considered one of the most consistent players in the NBA.
Because of his versatility and success, basketball experts have spoken of Duncan as one of the greatest power forwards in NBA history, while coach Popovich and team-mates Parker and Ginóbili have also credited much of San Antonio's success to him.
Duncan's detractors, however, label him as "boring" because of his simple but effective style of play.
Following his first championship ring in 1999, Sports Illustrated described him as a "quiet, boring MVP", a characterization which persists today.
Duncan is one of only four players to receive All-NBA First Team honors in each of his first eight seasons (1998–2005), along with Hall of Famers Bob Pettit (ten seasons), Larry Bird (nine seasons), and Oscar Robertson (nine seasons).
Tim Duncan has two older sisters, Cheryl and Tricia.

An avid video game player, he acknowledges a certain joy of playing "himself" on basketball video games.
