season guy.”

Him (2003), Dream, and Dirk are the only guys in the past 30+ years to win a title w/o a dominant teammate. Not at all saying they’re the best, but they’re in unique company.

The same 2000 team that destroyed the Knicks in ‘99 couldn’t make it out of the first round the next year. Wonder why? Timmay got injured right before the playoffs. Before Manu and TP developed into stars (which didn’t happen til the mid 2000s), the Spurs were garbage w/o Duncan. He played considerably more minutes than everyone else and was relied upon the shoulder more of a load than any of his teammates by a considerable margin. His numbers always went up in the postseason. Hence him being the exact opposite of what you’re trying to falsely claim he is. Can’t believe you’re still holding on to all that hate after so many years.
