The real list
1. Game 6, 2003 Finals vs NJ
21 points
20 rebounds
10 assists
8 blocks
Won NBA title
Won Finals MVP
Held Kenyon Martin to 3/23 shooting and forced the Nets to collapse into him freeing Stephen Jackson to hit three threes in a row.
2. Game 6, 2003 WCSF @ LA
37 points
16 rebounds
4 assists
On the broadcast Tolbert said Duncan was playing 'around the world' because every shot was different. Unseated the 3x defending champions in what was the biggest game in franchise history before game 7 vs Detroit 2 years later. There is no doubt this was the championship game of the 2003 season, and Tim Duncan completely owned it.
3. Game 1, 2003 Finals vs NJ
32 points
20 rebounds
6 assists
7 blocks
3 steals
Statistically, the greatest game Tim ever played. NJ came to town riding something like a 10-game playoff winning streak, but they got absolutely destroyed by one of the greatest performances in NBA history.
4. Game 1, 2008 WCQF vs Phoenix
40 points
15 rebounds
5 assists
3 blocks
Not much else to say, as this one is pretty fresh in everyone's minds anyways.
5. Game 5, 1999 Finals @ NY
31 points
9 rebounds
Won NBA Championship
Finals MVP
Got into a memorable duel with Sprewell where the two of them were both on fire for most of the fourth quarter, and traded baskets with each other. He and David then held the Knicks scoreless the final 3:30 or so of the game.
6. Game 7, 2006 WCSF vs Dallas
41 points
15 rebounds
6 assists
Single-handedly dragged the team from 20 down at the half in what would have been an extremely embarrassing loss. Even without the win, he and the team did the fans proud in fighting back late before getting beaten in OT.
7. Game 1, 1998 WCQF @ Phoenix
32 points
10 rebounds
First NBA Playoff game
Who has a playoff debut like this as a rookie, on the road? Perhaps the most dominant 10 minutes of any Spurs' career.
8. Game 3, 1999 WCQF @ LA
37 points
14 rebounds
4 assists
Before this game Shaq talked a lot of shit about how he would personally guard Tim and shut him down. As he said, Shaq started the game guarding Tim. Duncan proceeded to drop about 15 points in the first 6 minutes of the game, which prompted Shaq to puss out and hand him back off to JR Reid and Rick Fox.
9. Game 5, 2002 WCQF @ LA
34 points
25 rebounds
4 assists
Singlehandedly carried his team with a memorable effort, but it wasn't enough to beat a team of Shaq, Kobe, and Horry at the top of their games.
10. Game 1, 1999 Finals vs NY
33 points
16 rebounds
Completely dominated Larry Johnson, Kurt Thomas, Marcus Camby, and Chris Dudley and put each of them in pretty serious foul trouble.
