A few issues with this very shallow gloss-piece


Duncan was not the first player to win championships in three different decades.


Until this postseason I have never heard Duncan referred to as "death and taxes". Never. Just because some national journalist wrote that once, doesn't make it a nickname, even if it's on bball reference.com. The beauty of Duncan's game and personality is he doesn't need cutesy gimmicks and monikers


And saying the franchise wouldn't exist without Duncan is just ignorant, it really sounds like the author doesn't remember Robinson at all (and if he was in 8th grade in 1999 then he doesn't remember Robinson. Or Jordan for that matter)


David Robinson put San Antonio on the map, without him we'd be dumpster juice as a city and as a franchise

I've heard him referred to as "death and taxes" since about 2006ish. Not often, but it's been there.
Also I think that the author referred to
No Duncan = no 99 championship = no SBC center = Kansas City Spurs

Duncan was not the first player to win championships in three different decades.

Technically, John Salley was the first player to do that, but he saw little playing time with the Lakers. Tim Duncan is the first starting player in NBA history to win championships in three different decades.

Salley's claim that he had won "four championship rings, with three different teams, in three different decades and two different millenniums" isn't entirely true, either. 2000 was the last year of the 20th century and the 2nd millennium. 2001 was the first year of the 21st century and the 3rd millennium.

Ducan is the 1st starter to.
Ignore the poster behind the curtain squaking about Salley and his coatailing a rigged title for his 3rd decade.
