Winning the title in 3 different decades with the same core

[RagaZ]

How massive is this achievement?

[oarabbus]

Very impressive. Man, I'm rooting from the Spurs but your topics are premature. Gonna look bad if the Heat 3peat.

Except it wasn't with the same core. Duncan has had good to great help his whole career.

[oarabbus]

So has every other player to have ever won a title.

so now lebran dont?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

How does this team even remotely have the same core as the 1999 team?

[aboss4real24]

Not a big deal

[navy]

so now lebran dont?
He didnt bring up Lebron. You did.

[T_L_P]

Not really the same core. But for any player/coach to win 15 years apart is incredible.

[SCdac]

As far as players, Tim Duncan is the only constant from 1999 championship to 2007.

you should look up what core is

[T_L_P]

Which players have won titles in three different decades?

[LeBron 06]

Which players have won titles in three different decades?


no one

[r0drig0lac]

if he conquers and wins the FMVP is top 5 of all time, no question

[Real14]

Tha spurs in 99 iz an asterisk so that decade don't count and they were never a dynasty cuz they never won a back 2 back:no:

[imdaman99]

Core? You mean Duncan?

[aj1987]

How massive is this achievement?
Amazing. No "core" has ever done it and no "core" is even close to doing it.

[BigTicket]

Which players have won titles in three different decades?

Dunno, but it's a really arbitrary distinction.

Kareem's first and last title were 17 years apart, while this would be 15 years for Duncan.

Damn. you mean we don't tha arbitrary title? :(

Of course it is. It adds nothing to Duncan's or Pop's resume. Just interested to know if there was anyone, that's all. :cheers:

[Yankstar]

Now that the clippers are out I hope the spurs tear the Heat a new a hole :rockon:
#revenge
#nothreepeat
#Duncan for FMVP
:applause:

[Real14]

Damn. you mean we don't tha arbitrary title? :(
Nope. Plus y'all didn't have tha same core and change it to 2 different decades bro.

[PassTheRock]

Tha spurs in 99 iz an asterisk so that decade don't count and they were never a dynasty cuz they never won a back 2 back:no:

would it still be an asterisk if the knicks won it instead?

[Real14]

would it still be an asterisk if the knicks won it instead?
No because that mean they underdog their way to a title without Ewing. Spurs have an asterisk in 99 cuz knicks best player named Ewing was injured.

[ImKobe]

1999 is a serious asterisk title itself + not the same core.

Ewing was also 36

Sprewell was their 2nd best player

winning against an 8th seed in the Finals, that was just 4 games above .500, and in a season where they only played 50 RS games? not impressed.

True damn story.

[RagaZ]

Pop - Duncan core.

[Hey Yo]

How massive is this achievement?
Parker and Manu wasn't playing in the NBA when Spurs won in 1999

[aj1987]

Pop - Duncan core.
Please stop posting. :facepalm

[RagaZ]

Edit.

[rhowen4]

Wow so Timmy has been playing for 30 years then

[Upgrayedd]

Yep. If Duncan wins he'll have won in the '90s, '00s and this decade. GOAT power forward.

[Real14]

Wow so Timmy has been playing for 30 years then
:lol ......:coleman:

[oarabbus]

Wow so Timmy has been playing for 30 years then

... You can do something in 3 different decades in 11 years.

Example: Buy a car in '99
Buy another car in '05
Buy a 3rd car in '10

3 cars bought in 3 different decades, over the span of 11 years :confusedshrug:

[Verticality]

Core? You mean Duncan?

Well, Duncan is their core, right?

[ILLsmak]

have a feeling if the Spurs win Duncan isn't FMVP.

-Smak

[alanLA92]

[Real14]
