Every regular season game, every playoff game, every overtime nail- biter, every rodeo road trip back-to back (except the occasional “DNP old“), the Spurs reliable Big Three would be there. Trotting out in Silver & Black, with Gregg Popovich barking commands in the background.
The Spurs had become a given, a rare guarantee in life. They had a philosophy on how to play basketball and went out and played. No added flare, no extra commotion, just pure basketball.
The extra pass, the always stout defense, the focus on defensive rebounds, communication, it all starts and finishes with Duncan.
