For 18 consecutive years! When Paul reached the NBA s current record, he discovered how invincible Duncan was.

On the NBA stage, victory is more important than data, which is also the charm of team sports. Because beautiful data reflects personal abilities. The victory or defeat of the team is a reflection of the ability to lead the team. In the process of winning, one piece of data is very important, and that is the plus-minus value, which can most intuitively reflect whether the player wins or loses points on the court. Paul's leadership ability is recognized as strong. For 18 consecutive years, he has also achieved an NBA record of being the first in active service, but in comparison, Duncan is even more invincible.

Paul was drafted in 2005, when he was the No. 4 pick. As a recognized genius player, Paul is only 1.83 meters tall, but his skills, overall view, passing and control ability, defense and golf intelligence are all top-notch. His height is his only shortcoming. After Paul entered the league, he quickly became the number one point guard. During the Hornets era, they were able to compete with Kobe for MVP, and they also won the assists and steals title.

After joining the Clippers, he is still the face of the league and performed well with Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. Since then, Paul has played for the Rockets, Thunder, Suns, Warriors and Spurs, and joined the Clippers in the offseason. Throughout Paul's career, he averaged 17 points, 4.4 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2 steals per game, and his performance was impeccable.

It is worth mentioning that in the Hornets, Clippers, Rockets and Suns, Paul has led the team to create the best record in team history, which is enough to reflect his leadership ability. In the 18 years since he entered the league, Paul's plus-minus value has been positive every season, which has also created the first active record. This is a record that even legendary stars such as James, Durant, and Curry have not been able to achieve.

Paul has had a positive plus-minus for 18 consecutive years. Looking at NBA history, he can rank second. There is another great player in front of him, and that is Duncan.

As the number one power forward in history, Duncan's statistics are definitely not gorgeous. He has played in the league for 19 years, and his average data per game is "just" 19+10. But in terms of performance and influence on the court, Duncan is absolutely phenomenal. Duncan is a team leader who can maximize the strengths of his teammates and make up for their shortcomings. He has played for the Spurs for 19 years and has always been the backbone of the team's offense and defense. He led the Spurs to five championships, and personally holds two regular season MVP and three FMVP trophies. He is an absolute superstar.

It is worth mentioning that Duncan led the Spurs into the playoffs for 19 consecutive years, and he also had a positive plus-minus for 19 consecutive years, setting an NBA historical record. This record is too difficult to break. Not only must there be a long peak period, but there must also be almost no troughs in leading the team throughout his career.
