Duncan's record (and legacy)

[will_spurs]

San Antonio’s 721-316 record since Duncan joined the team in 1997-98 is the best in the NBA during that stretch, and represents the highest winning percentage of any team in the four major team sports.

All legitimate wins which is what makes the record so valuable.

Duncan's 14 points increased his career total to 20,685, putting him 23 shy of former Spurs great George Gervin for 32nd place all-time and within 105 of former teammate David Robinson for 31st.

Here are a few things that I think speak volumes of Tim Duncan's legacy:

Since 1997-98, the Spurs' 721 wins are almost 40 more than any other team in the NBA (the Lakers are 2nd with 682) and only 4 NBA teams are even within 100 wins of the Spurs' total -- LA (682), Dallas (644), and Phoenix (629).

Through Monday, since 1997-98, the Spurs were at least .500 against every other team in the association.

In the 13 seasons since 1997-98, the Spurs have won 50 games or the equivalent in all 13 (the closest ; they've won 55 games or the equivalent in 10 of the 13 seasons; they've won 60 games or the equivalent in 3 seasons. They've finished 1st or 2nd in their division in each of those 13 seasons, including 7 division titles. They have advanced in the playoffs in 11 of the 13 seasons.

They're .606 (106-69) in playoff games during the Duncan era (there are only 3 teams that have a better regular season winning percentage than that. They're .719 (64-25) in home playoff games and only 2 games below .500 on the road in playoff games (42-44). They're 25-8 in playoff series and have a winning record in every round of the playoffs: First Round (42-21); Conference Semifinals (31-30); Conference Finals (17-12); and Finals (16-6).

It's a pretty solid legacy, I'd say.

You know whats crazy about that road record? The last three years has killed it. From 1997-2007, that road record was freakin 39-31 in the PLAYOFFS.
