Great list. He's probably at the top of least-being-swept list as well. Only 2 that I can think of.

LAL in 2001 and Phoenix in 2010.

The statistic is likely a little misleading considering this is for 4 game sweeps, and we got rid of the 5 game series a few years back.

Of note though, the Spurs have now had 4, 4 game sweeps in the last two years. So of Duncans total of 8, half of them have come in the previous 24 months.

A 3-0 sweep in the 1st round is not much to shout about. Basically all you need to do is hold serve and then win one road game against a barely .500 team. Sometimes the team has a losing record and almost never has 50 wins.

That's pretty sick. The victims of those sweeps: Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph, Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, Ron Artest. Not bad

Gotta give Tim tons of credit for that. He stays motivated at all times and his teammates feed off that.

Thats not really my point though. I'm not so much arguing that 3-0 sweeps should be counted in the statistic, but more pointing out that the prior existence of 5 game series created fewer opportunities for 4-0 sweeps.
