Tim Duncan's career has been legendary, and his contributions to San Antonio and the Spurs speak for themselves. However, not every year in 19 seasons has made him to the All-Star team. Let's take a look at how he fare in those seasons.
In the 1998-1999 season, the All-Star Game was canceled due to the NBA shutdown. Despite this, Duncan performed well in the regular season, leading the Spurs to their first-ever championship. In the finals, he won the title of FMVP for his all-round performance and became the leader of the team.
In the 2011-2012 season, Duncan remained a key player for the Spurs despite a dip in stats. Despite not being selected as an All-Star, his contributions have played a key role in the team's success.
In the 2013-2014 season, Duncan once again showed his dominance, leading the Spurs to another championship. Despite not being selected as an All-Star, he was unmatched in the Finals and became a pillar of the team.
In the 2015-2016 season, Duncan's career was nearing the end of his career, and his statistics dropped significantly, but he was still a mainstay of the Spurs. Despite failing to make the All-Star, his leadership and influence cannot be ignored.
Duncan's career was full of honor and glory, and he ended his basketball career with a low-key, humble attitude, leaving behind an immortal basketball legend.
