[1] Kawhi Leonard was selected to play in the 2016 NBA All-Star Game as a starter.
With the acquisitions of David West and LaMarcus Aldridge, the Spurs finished with a 67–15 record, their best winning percentage in franchise history,[2] earning them the Southwest Division title.
In the first round of the 2016 NBA playoffs, the Spurs faced the injury depleted Memphis Grizzlies, and swept them in four games.
They would become the first team since the 2007 Dallas Mavericks to finish with 67 wins and be eliminated before the conference finals.
Believed by many as the greatest Spur and power forward of all time, Duncan led the Spurs to five championships, a playoff appearance in every season of his 19 years in the league, winning two NBA MVPs, three NBA Finals MVPs, and after winning their fifth ring in 2014, became the second player, after John Salley, to win championships in three different decades.
