The legacy of the Spurs might be found in the number of players who arrived, did their job with passion and professionalism, and eventually left the franchise just a little bit better than how they found it. That kind of lasting positive influence is rare in any profession and is rare enough in professional sports.
A comment from ESPN this morning gave me pause. "Tim Duncan might have been the last 'un-branded' player in the NBA."
I hope that is not even close to accurate.

to a fine career.
