Tim Duncan possibly winning titles in 3 different Decades

[ArbitraryWater]

Would be the 2nd player ever to do that. (First one to do it legitemately)

Guess the other one

[K Xerxes]

Sally.

Could be the first to win FMVP in 3 different decades.

John Salley

[ArbitraryWater]

Correct.

John Salley while averaging 2.1 points on 34.3% in 17 games for the '96 bulls and 1.6 points on 36.2% in 45 games for the '00 lakers - while averaging 0.9 points in the post-season for both teams

Safe to say he never really achieved it... Not saying Timmy would really deserve another FMVP, but he's been a key cog still, somewhat.

Not that big of a deal since since Duncan was drafted in 1997 (late 1990s).

3 different decades by calendar year not actually 30 years.

Titles 15 years apart is still pretty crazy when you consider that pro athletes have a relatively short shelf life.

He can still be the first to win Finals MVP in 3 different decades.

1999
2003, 2005

and 2014?

Give us some players who played 30 years of any professional team-based sports.

Add this to the dumbest post on ISH.

It is crazy..

I think a lot of people don't give the credit due to these guys like Kareem Duncan, Kobe Ray Allen or even Fisher... It takes a high degree of dedication to put the time in during the off season to be ready to go at it another season... People praise the guy who we read about that spent the summer learning a new shot but very seldom do we truly appreciate the effort some of these guys put in just to be ready to play season after season and it's not something you can start doing at 35 to extend your career, it's something they were doing from their first seasons as rookies

Gordie Howe (if you include the WHA)... Um.

[jbryan1984]

Oh Yeah? Well if Elton Brand, Shawn Marion, Lamar, Jet, Andre Miller, AK47 or Ginobili!!!!! can play until 2019-20...... they can be the first player to play in 4 decades!

Had Kareem played just one more year, he would of done it.

So we're all agreeing that he's a professional at winning a ring without being the best player?

sounds good.


Bill Russell just returned like... 5 of his imagenery FMVP back to the NBA.

I don't even know what this post means. Every single one of his titles has been won as the best player, and he has a legitimate case for being the best Spur this season too.
