Today marks the 19th anniversary of Timothy Theodore Duncan earning his second NBA MVP trophy.
2003, ah, it was such a simpler time. The Spurs were letting the world know 1999 wasn’t a fluke. A young, impressive fundamental basketball player was also showcasing his talent by taking back-to-back MVP honors, the first time in over a decade since Michael Jordan’s heyday.
The icing on the cake was the Spurs winning the 2003 NBA Finals and sending David Robinson into retirement in championship fashion.
