  • Point Guard: Tony Parker - One of the best point guards in the history of the Spurs and the NBA, Tony Parker was instrumental in the team's offense and pace management. With his speed, ball-handling skills, and ability to break down defenses, Parker was a key piece in four championships (2003, 2005, 2007, 2014) and was the Finals MVP in 2007.

  • Shooting Guard: Manu Ginóbili - Ginóbili was the heart and soul of the team on both ends of the court. His bold playing style, creativity, and ability to impact games whether coming off the bench or as a starter were crucial to the Spurs' culture. He won four championships with the team and is considered one of the best Sixth Men in NBA history.

  • Small Forward: Kawhi Leonard - Although his time in San Antonio was relatively short, Kawhi left a lasting impression. He was a two-time Defensive Player of the Year and the Finals MVP in 2014 when the Spurs defeated LeBron James' Heat. His defensive prowess and offensive efficiency make him a fitting choice for this lineup.

  • Power Forward: Tim Duncan - The undisputed leader of the Spurs and one of the greatest players of all time at his position, Tim Duncan is the heart of this franchise. With five championships (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2014), three Finals MVP awards, and two regular-season MVPs, Duncan is the most iconic figure of the Spurs and a legend in the NBA.

  • Center: David Robinson - Prior to Duncan's arrival, Robinson was the cornerstone of the Spurs. Nicknamed "The Admiral," Robinson was a defensive and offensive force, winning the MVP in 1995 and the Defensive Player of the Year award in 1992. Alongside Duncan, they formed the "Twin Towers," leading the Spurs to championships in 1999 and 2003.
