Tim Duncan reaches milestone
Express-News
Tonight, Spurs forward Tim Duncan is scheduled to play in his 1,000th NBA game, including playoffs. Express-News Spurs writer Jeff McDonald takes a look at (quite arguably) the 10 best — the top 1 percent — of Duncan’s career:
10. Playoff debut
April 23, 1998: In a harbinger of postseason heroics to come, Duncan scores 32 points and grabs 10 rebounds as the Spurs pound the Suns in his first career playoff game.
9. The perfect game
Jan. 17, 2002: If there is a hole in Duncan’s game, it is his occasional yips from the foul line. Those yips were nowhere to be found on this night against Utah: Duncan sets a team record by making all 17 of his free throws, part of a 35-point night.
8. The first triple-double
March 25, 2000: Duncan torches Cleveland for 17 points, 17 rebounds and 11 assists for his first career triple-double, but not his last.
7. The everlasting record
Dec. 26, 2001: Duncan goes off for a career-high 53 points in a win over Dallas at the Alamodome, the most points ever scored in that building. The next season, the Spurs move into the AT&T Center, ensuring Duncan’s record will never be broken.
6. Gallant in defeat
May 22, 2006: Duncan has one of his better playoff games, even by his standards, going for 41 points and 15 rebounds in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals — but Dallas wins the game in double OT.
5. The first Finals
June 16, 1999: Duncan announces his arrival on the NBA’s biggest stage, throwing up 33 point and 16 rebounds in Game 1 of the 1999 Finals against the Knicks. Duncan would go on to win the first of his three Finals MVP Awards.
4. The Sun setter
April 19, 2008: Another double-OT thriller, another Duncan masterpiece: 40 points, 15 rebounds and an improbable buzzer-beating 3-pointer to keep the Spurs alive in Game 1 of last season’s first-round playoff series.
3. Eclipse of the Suns
May 1, 2003: Duncan provides a foretaste of what would become a career mission to ruin postseasons for Phoenix, recording a triple double — 15 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists — in Game 6 of the teams’ first-round series.
2. MV-3
June 23, 2005: In the only Finals Game 7 of Duncan’s career, he pours in 25 points to go with 11 rebounds against Detroit, as the Spurs ride him down the stretch to claim their third NBA crown. Duncan earns his third Finals MVP trophy.
1. The Magnum Opus
June 5, 2003: With a second NBA title within reach in Game 6 of the 2003 Finals, Duncan carries the Spurs past New Jersey with a game for the ages: 21 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists and a Finals-record eight blocks.
