After 19 seasons in the National Basketball Association, Tim Duncan has officially called it quits.
At age 40, the future Hall of Famer will go down as one of the greatest power forwards in professional basketball history. And it did it in the most boring way possible, but it was an absolute pleasure watching him for nearly two decades.
- 5-time NBA champion
- 3-time NBA Finals MVP
- 2-time NBA MVP
- 15-time NBA All-Star
- NBA Rookie of the Year (1998)
- 10-time All-NBA First Team
- 8-time All-Defensive First Team
- All-time leading scorer in Spurs franchise history
Duncan currently ranks in the top 10 all-time in games (7th), total rebounds (6th), blocks (5th). Even at the power forward position, Duncan currently sits 14th all-time in points scored, as well.
Despite all of those accolades listed above, I think the most impressive feat is that the Spurs made the postseason all 19 of Tim Duncan's seasons.
Farewell, Mr. Duncan. It was fun.
