Tim Duncan with his 9th playoff series sweep

This might be the first time I agree with you. Pop without Duncan would still be relavent, Duncan without Pop is a role player.

Dumbest post today congrats Duncan would improve any franchise. Celtics were so close to getting him. damn.

No farewell tour, no nonsense, no bullshit, just business. Greatest player post Jordan.

He's incapable of a 60 point career close out game, but yes, still the best since MJ. Just boring as hell to watch.

Popovich wouldn't have a job if not for Tim Duncan.

Pop's 1-6 record in Playoff games without Duncan says otherwise, tbh.

That was hardly the case in early 1999 as Popovich was beginning his third season as the Spurs' coach. The team began the lockout-shortened season with championship expectations but stumbled out of the gate to a 6-8 record. Not only was there pressure to remove Popovich, but there was a growing sense he would be replaced by Rivers, a former Spurs player who was a member of the broadcast team at the time.

In fact, if the Spurs hadn't beaten the Houston Rockets on March 2, 1999, the feeling among many was Popovich would be gone and Rivers would be named his successor soon after.

Now shoo.

With a backcourt of Marbury and Iverson. I'd say they overachieved.
