It is one of the key differences between him and Kobe.
Because of his hand size, everything he does is just 1-2% easier than Kobe, that 1-2% is a big gap between players of that level.
Physical gifts matter.

Duncan won same number of rings with way less help, way smaller budget. Once Giannis and Jokic finish their careers, people will realize how difficult it is to win 5 rings with a small market, overrated franchise like the Spurs.
2 MVP 3 FMVP is also a higher tier than 1 MVP 2 FMVP. Duncan's true impact on winning is simply amazing.
Small market obviously, can not compete with LA. Also had small market opponents other than NY.
Viewers are fine vs Heat.
Pop lucked out with Duncan. He struggled with Olympics.
Someday people will realize how ridiculous it is to win 5 rings with a small market, low budget team. Duncan's true net impact on winning is second only to MJ.
