NBA Legend Tim Duncan is honored at his jersey retirement ceremony on December 18, 2016 at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.

Wife & Children

Duncan became the eighth Spur in franchise history to have his jersey retired, joining a group that includes George Gervin (44), David Robinson (50), Sean Elliott (32), James Silas (13), Avery Johnson (6), Bruce Bowen (12) and Johnny Moore (00). Duncan was selected in the 1997 NBA draft by the San Antonio Spurs. He paired with David Robinson, popularly known as “Twin Towers.” Earning good impressions from the beginning, Duncan was voted to the 1998 NBA All-Star Game by coaches. He's the only teammate that never asked me or talked to me to get the ball," Parker joked. "He just looked at me. And when you're 19 years old coming from France, that's very scary when he looks at you. He doesn't have to talk to you. Most of the guys [are like], 'Hey, Tony, I'm open.' But Timmy just looked at me. I'd be like, 'Hey, Pop, Timmy looked at me. We should run a play.' Pop would be like, 'He really looked at you?' I was like, 'Yeah, so we should run a play. If you want me to be the point guard tomorrow, [let's] pass him the ball right now.'" If you asked me what’s the vision I have in my head of Tim Duncan, it’s him kind of patting a teammate on the head kind of lovingly walking off the court after a timeout,” Babby said. “You’ve probably seen him do that a million times. To me, that captures everything about him.”

Duncan signed a contract extension with the Spurs in July 2012. With the team’s 58-24 record in the 2012-13 season, Duncan returned to the All-Star and the All-NBA First Team. However, they could not win the Championship this season too. Championship In Each Of 3 Decades Duncan would start 32 of 33 games as a freshman at Wake Forest.

Thank you for the four rings I have in my home because of you. Thank you for making me better, and everybody that ever played with you." Tim Duncan and Gregg Popovich combined to win five championships together during the lifelong Spur's 19 seasons in the NBA. Said Duncan on Sunday night: "Thank you, Coach Pop, for being more than a coach -- for being more like a father to me."

Substandard Performances Duncan also joins John Salley as just the second player in the league annals to win an NBA title in three different decades. It’s a pretty incredible story,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “Everybody knows the story, but it’s true. That’s something we’re all very happy about. We still toast him when we have dinner: ‘Thank you, Timmy.’ So, [it’s] obviously special.” And who can forget that Duncan teamed with Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili to reel off 126 playoff victories, the most in NBA history by any trio — which also owns the most regular-season victories in NBA history (575) — and register as the first set of three teammates or more to capture four championships side-by-side since Magic Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Cooper and Kurt Rambis, according to Elias Sports Bureau?

He's just a tremendous guy, the best power forward that ever played the game. Probably, if you talk to anyone that knows him, he's probably the most low-maintenance superstar that ever played the game; just a tremendous guy, a great person. This couldn't come or happen to a better guy," said Gentry. "There was no reason to wait. It's not like they were going to decide somewhere along the line his number was going to be retired. It was going to happen. So I think it's great that they're doing it early and doing it right now before he's even a year out of the league."

Later, after the 2004 Olympics, including Duncan, the U.S. Basketball team returned with only a bronze medal with a three-game loss. Honors & Achievements

You knew that day was going to come,” Spurs guard Tony Parker told The Undefeated. “It’s already unbelievable that he played 19 years, especially with his knees. It’s a great honor. Well-deserved. He’s the best power forward of all time. I can’t wait for that day. It’s going to be a great night.” The five-time NBA Champion was NBA Finals MVP three times. He was the ACC Male Athlete of the Year and was honored by the House of Representatives in his college days.
