The Championship Seasons
Fans of the San Antonio Spurs have been spoiled in recent years. After the lean years the team experienced in the 80s with George Gervin on into the 90′s with David Robinson and the coaching carousel that ensued, the team was due for some luck. That luck just happens to go by the name of Tim Duncan.
1999 — The season may have been shortened by a lockout, but the Spurs went to work quickly once basketball commenced, putting together one of the most dominant postseason runs in NBA history by going 15 – 2.
2002 – 2003 — In what was initially thought to be a transitional year with David Robinson announcing his impending retirement at years end, the Spurs managed to win the whole thing on the strength of Duncan’s best individual season ever.
2004 – 2005 — With Robinson retired, the Spurs had a hole at center, but the brilliance of newly established stars Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili combined with the greatness of Duncan proved to be the best in the league.
2006 – 2007 — More of the same; the trio of Duncan, Gino and Parker was hitting on all cylinders and coasted to another championship.Take a look here to learn more: Parker willing to pay his insurance for ASVEL; Sabatini contacted Ginobili’s agent
