Spurs great Tim Duncan retires: How bad of a nemesis was he to Mavericks?

It's the end of an era in San Antonio -- Spurs great Tim Duncan has announced his retirement. The sure-thing Hall of Famer spent his entire spent his entire 19-year career in San Antonio and won five championships with the Spurs.

And while the NBA community is rightfully showing its appreciation for what Duncan contributed to the sport, we're willing to bet there are a number of Dallas Mavericks fans happy to see the last of "The Big Fundamental."

If Duncan's place as the leader of the best team in the state of Texas for the last two decades wasn't enough to make him a villain in the eyes of Dallas, then the numerous playoff series between the Spurs and the Mavs did the trick.
