VIDEO: Birthday boy Tim Duncan's top 5 plays of the season
Tim Duncan is officially 39 years old and still balling out of control.
The San Antonio Spurs power forward turned another year older on Saturday, April 25 - a day after he helped San Antonio destroy the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series.
Duncan seems ageless, though. After being drafted by the Spurs in 1997 as the first-overall pick, he has spent his entire professional career as a pillar of the squad. The Big Fundamental has some serious hardware to match his almost two-decade-long NBA march. He's been an NBA champion five times, NBA finals MVP three times, and MVP twice.
To commemorate what should be a national holiday, we take a look at the top five plays of the 2014-15 season into the first round of the playoffs.
Knock-down shot
Duncan isn't fragile.
Get up, throw down
Timmy reminds us all that he can fly.
Beat that buzzer
Tim forced triple overtime against the Memphis Grizzlies, because who needs sleep? Certainly not Spurs fans.
Cutting block
"Nah," said Timmy to James Harden.
Saving the play
Duncan lets no shot go to waste.
