for example, I'd argue that 2010 Tim Duncan may have led the Cs over the Lakers in the NBA Finals.  Playoff numbers that year:

TD:  19/10/2.6/52%
KG:  15/7/2.5/49%

Manu: 19/6/4/3/0/41%
Pierce: 19/6/3/1/1/44%

Parker: 17/5/4/1/47%
Rondo: 16/9/6/2/46%
Jeff Green - Top 5 SF

There is no doubt, like many others, that had KG went to the Spurs, they'd have won just the same. And had Duncan landed in Minny (or even Boston), he'd have no jewelry either.
You might be right, you might not be, but to say "There is no doubt" is a little naive.

EDIT:  for example, I'd argue that 2010 Tim Duncan may have led the Cs over the Lakers in the NBA Finals.  Playoff numbers that year:

TD:  19/10/2.6/52%
KG:  15/7/2.5/49%

Additionally, I don't see 2013 KG leading the Spurs over the Heat as easily, which very well may come to fruition.

Yeah I agree I should have said little doubt lol.

I think Duncan aged better after 2008, obviously because of KG's knee injury. I was referring to there primes.

But you are right. No way to know for sure.

I'm not sure what this is in reference to...

Agreed.  I think what also helped Duncan age better was that his game is less predicated on athleticism than KGs (mainly because he was never the athlete KG was in their primes, or even today).
