    Lightbulb Spurs have their BEST record ever as soon as Duncan takes a heavily reduced role

    http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/SAS/

    People act like its Duncan's work when they talk about San Antonios success but this shows that the real praise goes to Pop and the front office. As soon as Duncan takes a reduce role the Spurs have their greatest season ever? Coincidence? I think not...

    If they win a chip Duncan Vampires will start spewing all this bs about how he's in the GOAT conversation with MJ and pretending like it counts as a first option ring.

    This is the first season they added a significant free agent (LMA) and even then got an amazing under the radar pickup of another former all-star to come off the bench (David West).

    Spurs just caught up to Duncan, but Duncan was the biggest key in the late 90s to mid 2000s.

    Maybe its cause of LMA and the emergence of THE CLAW

    No, everybody will realize this is the less weighted of all of his rings. All this win would do is prove how great of a team player and leader he is for willing to put his ego aside for the greater good. Unlike Kobe.

    Jesus christ warriorfan, why are you so obsessed with The Spurs? Lol we're all loyal fans to SAS, compared to you, who can't even get Curry's d*** out of your mouth for one second.

    The real vampire is Duncan. He has been sucking the life out of the Spurs for almost a decade at this point.

    This season is proof that Duncan wasn't not only having an extremely small impact during those later championships but that he was actually holding the team back.

    Although the leader and best player of his team for many years, Duncan was always like the ultimate role player, he stepped back and let others flourish when needed (Tony's FMVP)

    Duncan was never trying to be a superstar, just a winner, and the greatest teammate a player could have.

    His unselfishness and dedication to playing the game the right way is probably one of the main reasons Aldridge has been able to adjust his game to fill Duncan's role so well this year. Call it system if you like but Timmy D is a huge part of that system

    Tim Duncan had as many FMVP votes as Steph Curry in 2015.

    Duncan has more rings than your entire franchise. Pipe down, peasant.

    Duncan has continuously taken smaller roles for the Spurs, in order to save him for the playoffs. The Spurs get their best record ever because of Kawhi's improvement, and the team chemistry....which stems from Duncan

    Spurs on Paper should be the best team in the league (if all healthy)

    Parker-Manu-Duncan-LMA-D.West-Kmart-leonard.

    Key is they have enough wing players to hold GSW's all time great transition attack.
