I don't think ANYONE has aged as well as him. With this many seasons on his legs, only Karl Malone seems to have been a comparable player as far as effectiveness goes.
What's funny though (and part of the genius of Coach Pop) is that after 18 seasons Duncan only has 45,832 regular season minutes played. After 18 seasons in Utah, prior to his one year in L.A., Malone had amassed 53,479 minutes. That's an incredible difference. Pop has definitely added years onto Timmy's career. That guy could probably play till he's 42 if he wanted.
Pop not playing Duncan in extended minutes throughout a good part of his career, sitting him out games for rest as well as Tim being fortunate enough to not suffer major injuries is how he's been able to remain so effective at his age.
Duncan, Kareem and Karl Malone are the best 3 examples that come to mind when speaking on top quality longevity.
He had a season or two where he struggled with plantar fasciitis, but aside from that, Duncan has been pretty lucky health wise. He's also never let himself get too heavy.

As the lone Spurs fan here, I would really prefer that y'all quit referring to Timmy's lack of injuries. This seems like tempting fate.

Stephen Curry is my vote. At this point in the list, I'm okay with putting him over Miller due to how insanely impactful that his range, volume and efficiency on his range are.
You don't run jack squat puto, he has a finals MVP. He has hardware and is more deserving than Reggie and he's on this list. Do the right mother fucking thing here.

When I want him on, he'll be on. Maybe 43 or 44. That OK?
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

He deserves it over Reggie yes.
Alright....I'll get him in at 42 after Ray-Ray.
