Tim. Tony. Manu. No other explanation is needed. Anyone with a basketball pulse knows who you’re talking about. You don’t have to be a Spurs fan to know the last names of those three individuals. (But just in case you just entered this universe and need to catch up, it’s Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, respectively.)
However, the legend of the “One-Name NBA All-Star” goes back even further. Some of us (not me, of course) grew up hearing the names of three Celtics stars who would dominate the 80’s — Bird, McHale and Parish, or the Showtime Lakers featuring Magic and Kareem, among others.
