But take it from someone who grew up in the 00's, in terms of popularity it was
1. Kobe
2. Iverson
3. Doesn't even matter
and there's no disputing that.

He has spent virtually his entire career purposefully being boring, not giving interviews, hasn't had any national commercials since very early in his career(just HEB commercials for the past X amount of years), etc.
I'd be surprised if Duncan even tells anybody(outside of people very close to him) that he's retiring before he actually does it. It'll probably be after a Spurs title or after a playoff exit in a subtle, post-game press conference or interview IMO.
That Kobe, "Derek Jeter" farewell tour should be nice, though.
USA Celtics in full effect. Amazing chemistry building experience right there for the main core of the team

I don't know anyone who thinks Tim Duncan is the face of the 00's era.

1. Kobe
2. Lebron
3. Iverson
4. Carter
5. Shaq
