+1 on the Spurs. Growing up in Boston, I've been a Celtic fan all my life. That said, Tim Duncan is my all time favorite NBA player. It still hurts that the ping pong balls didn't bounce in the Celtics favor, but think of what a career Duncan has had. And I can't think of one remotely negative story that has ever come out about him. No arrests, no abuse charges, not getting players traded, whining about not getting enough shots. He just quietly went about putting up one of the top five careers of all time.
My wife has no real interest in sports, but she is aware of the top names (Brady, Tiger, Arod, Lebron, Jordan, etc....). As I test, I asked her about Tim Duncan. She couldn't even tell me what sport he played. Now that is a superstar who flies under the radar!!
