2 Most Humble Award Among Stars: Duncan has as many championships as LeBron James has MVP awards – 4. He is also the all-time leading block leader in playoff history and a sure-fire Hall of Famer.
3 Elder Inspirations: For people who are old and draw inspiration from the elder-well, Duncan is 37. Duncan is 82% for the year from the free throw line and having one of his .
4 Loyalty: For those who like the old fashioned loyalty and players staying with a team, the Spurs trio of Duncan, Parker and Ginobili has been together 11 years. None of them left to find a championship elsewhere, though they each are all-stars who are highly marketable.
5 Weight Loss Inspirations: Tim Duncan. Lost 25 pounds in recent years during the last of his 37 years.
6 Legacy Building: Yes Duncan has 4 championships in 9 years, but his last was in 2007.
7 The Underdog. Miami is the most talented team. They are the current champions. They have the best player on the planet. The Spurs have been fading in recent years. Since the last Spurs championship, they had first round playoff exists, and after taking a 2-0 lead on the Oklahoma Thunder last year, lost 4 straight to bow out ungracefully.
8 Sentimental Last Chances – Duncan last played in the finals 6 years ago. He may not get to another chance before he retires from the game.
9 They don’t play dirty and they have no iconic player you love to hate.
10 They have a style of play that shows excellence, efficiency, and flexibility to play fast or deliberately in the half court. So if you love either style, you love, not hate these Spurs.
