Tim Duncan played his 19-year career with the San Antonio Spurs. A jaw-dropping 15-time All-Star and 10-time All NBA First team member, Duncan was one of the 14 NBA players to have registered more than 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in a single season (2001-02), and was widely considered to be the greatest power forward of all time.

A young Tim Duncan teamed up with the great David Robinson in the 1999 NBA Finals against the New York Knicks and got the Spurs franchise its first-ever NBA title. He averaged a blistering 23.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game throughout the 1999 post-season and was a force to be reckoned with.

He amped up his energy in the Finals, averaging 27.4 points and 14 rebounds per game in a five-game series as Spurs beat the Knicks 4-1. Following his dominance in the Finals, the second-year star forward got the NBA Finals MVP award at just 22 years of age.
