Tim Duncan
For the 12th time in his 12 seasons, Spurs forward Tim Duncan found his name listed on one of the NBA’s All-Defensive teams Wednesday. In doing so, he etched his name deeper into the league record books.
Duncan, an eight-time member of the All-Defensive first team, earned a spot on this year’s second team.
He is the only player in NBA history to claim a dozen All-Defensive nominations. Duncan had shared the previous mark of 11 with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
“He’s been our foundation for quite a while now,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “He does whatever he can to make things good for everybody else.”
