That is true. But for the first five years of Duncan's career, it was Shaq that was the leading vote getter at the center spot for the West and it was Shaq that was the first team all-NBA center each of those years (even up until 2006) with the sxception of 1999, when he was second team. That's why I say it was first cause of Shaq then Ming kept it going.

However with Robinson on the team Duncan was more of a power forward. When he left he became the center but they kept his designation as PF. I mean it doesnt really matter because he has been a great player regardless
