Soon this NBA Tuesday miniseries will be over, so enjoy it while it lasts: we bring you the San Antonio Spurs today! The franchise began in the ABA, merged into the NBA, and then took another 2 decades before asserting itself historically with 5 titles in a 16-year stretch. You need great players to win that many titles, so we expect this list below to be full of names everyone knows—and either loves or hates. Enjoy the read!

No. 10: LaMarcus Aldridge, PF/C—42.8 WS (2015-2021)

After almost a decade in Portland, he joined the Spurs at age 30 and made 3 All-Star teams in his first 4 seasons playing for San Antonio. Overall with the team, he averaged 19.5 ppg, 8.0 rpg, and 1.3 bpg in 376 regular-season matchups; in 31 playoff contests, he contributed 19.4 ppg, 8.0 rpg, and 1.0 bpg. However, the Spurs only reached the Western Conference Finals with him on the team once (2017). Timing is everything.

No. 9: Avery Johnson, PG—47.3 WS (1991, 1992-1993, 1994-2001)

He had 3 different stints with the team as he was at first waived and then not retained later before finally finding a stable home in San Antonio. Undrafted out of college, he never made an All-Star team, but he did post 10.1 ppg, 6.9 apg, and 1.1 spg in 644 regular-season games with the team. In the postseason (81 games), he added 11.4 ppg, 6.8 apg, and 1.2 spg as he helped the Spurs win their first NBA championship in 1999.

No. 8: Sean Elliott, PF/C—42.8 WS (1989-1993, 1994-2001)

The No. 3 overall pick in the draft, he made 2 All-Star appearances with San Antonio (1993, 1996), sandwiched around a single season in Detroit. The Spurs traded him away, missed him, and traded for him right back! In 669 games in the regular season, he averaged 14.4 ppg and 4.4 rpg, and in 85 playoff matchups, he tossed in 13,2 ppg and 4.0 rpg. The numbers were never dominant, but he got a ring in 1999.

No. 7: Kawhi Leonard, SF—56.3 WS (2011-2018)

A mercurial figure in San Antonio, for sure, he was the No. 15 pick in the draft and proceeded to win votes for DPOY twice (2015, 2016) while earning the Finals MVP nod in 2014. He also topped the NBA in steals once (2015). Eventually, he wanted out, however, and he was traded to Toronto. The stats: 2 All-Star nods, 16.3 ppg, 6.2 rpg, and 1.8 spg in the regular season plus 16.5 ppg, 7.3 rpg, and 1.7 spg in the postseason.

No. 6: James Silas, PG/SG—57.9 WS (1972-1981)

If you know who this is, you’re a diehard Spurs fan: drafted in the NBA’s fifth round, he signed with the ABA’s Dallas Chaparrals to start his pro career, moving with the team to San Antonio in his second year. With 2 ABA All-Star nods (1975, 1976), he then migrated to the NBA finally when the Spurs merged in for the 1976-1977 season. He posted 16.7 ppg, 3.9 apg, 3.2 rpg, and 1.7 spg during the regular season. His journey is unique.

No. 5: Manu Ginóbili, SG—106.4 WS (2002-2018)

There is a big gap between 6-10 and 1-5 here, in terms of WS marks. The No. 57 overall pick in 1999, he played in Spain for 3 years before joining the NBA and winning 4 NBA titles (2003, 2005, 2007, 2014) with the Spurs while making 2 All-Star teams (2005, 2011). He averaged 13.3 ppg, 3.8 apg, 3.5 rpg, and 1.3 spg in the regular season while contributing 14.0 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 3.8 apg, and 1.3 spg in the postseason. Local legend!

No. 4: George Gervin, SG/SF—107.4 WS (1973-1985)

A 4-time NBA scoring champ (1978-1980, 1982), he also made 12 straight ABA/NBA All-Star teams (1974-1985) with the organization. Not bad for a guy who was the No. 40 overall pick in the NBA Draft before skipping to the ABA instead. From 1977-1983, he finished in the Top 11 every year for the MVP vote, including 5 consecutive years (1978-1982) in the Top 6. He posted 26.3 ppg for the Spurs over his tenure.

No. 3: Tony Parker, PG—110.4 WS (2001-2018)

A 6-time All Star, he was the No. 28 overall pick in the draft and immediately made an impact at age 19. He won 4 NBA titles with the team (2003, 2005, 2007, 2014), and he finished in the MVP Top 10 voting 4 times as well (2006, 2009, 2012, 2013). His numbers—15.8 ppg plus 5.7 apg in the regular season and 17.9 ppg with 5.1 apg in the postseason—don’t tell the whole story. He was a fiery yet steady floor leader for 4 title teams.

No. 2: David Robinson, C—178.7 WS (1989-2003)

The No. 1 overall pick in 1987, the Spurs had to wait 2 years for his debut, thanks to his Navy commitment—but it was worth it. He was the 1990 ROTY, the 1995 NBA MVP (although we also gave him our 1994 and 1996 trophies, too), and a 10-time All Star. Oh, we forgot his 1992 DPOY nod, his scoring title (1995), his rebounding crown (1991), and his blocks championship (1992). Oh, and the 1999 and 2003 NBA titles, too.

No. 1: Tim Duncan, PF/C—206.4 WS (1997-2016)

One of only 9 players all time with 200-plus WS, he was the No. 1 overall pick in 1997 and played on all 5 NBA title teams from San Antonio. He was the 1998 ROTY, a 2-time MVP (2002, 2003), and a 15-time All Star. We find it odd he never led the NBA in any significant statistical category, but he averaged a double double for his career with 3.0 apg thrown in for good measure. Oh, and he was our pick for 2009 DPOY.
