The NBA’s 50 Greatest Duos Of All-Time
By Duncan Smith
2. Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs
Tim Duncan and Tony Parker have combined to win four NBA titles, and have been the driving force (along with head coach and president of basketball pperations Gregg Popovich) of a dynasty that has consistently been at the top of the NBA hierarchy for almost two decades, since Duncan was drafted first overall in the 1997 NBA Draft.
In addition to the four championships, this duo has combined for four NBA Finals MVP awards and 21 All-Star game appearances. Duncan and Parker are surefire first-ballot Hall of Famers when their time comes, and it wouldn’t be a big surprise to see them enter the Hall together, or to see them add another NBA championship to their resume before all is said and done.
Duncan and Parker have embodied professionalism and winning the right way since the beginning, and NBA fans are luckier than they realize to have enjoyed this era of Spurs dominance.
