The San Antonio Spurs foursome of Gregg Popovich, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker have been through many battles together and brought several NBA championships to the city of San Antonio.

The Spurs are once again in the NBA Finals and are facing off with the Miami Heat for another Larry O’Brien trophy. The the team is still built around one of the best coaches in NBA history and the trio of loyal players.

If you have been part of the NBA social media, you have inevitably noticed the rise of GIF images. Recently a great image was shared on Reddit, which shows how the tight-knit core of the Spurs have aged through the years.

In a matter of seconds, the image takes us through years of history and it’s truly a fascinating sight. It reminds us of the fact that Duncan used to rock the afro look back in the day, and that Ginobili actually had the hair of a South American model, until father time eventually left him with a bald patch.
