What makes this win tonight even more special was that Duncan was able to secure that fifth ring on Father’s Day.
Immediately after the Spurs got done blowing out the Heat once again, Duncan went right to his children to celebrate the accomplishment, and you could see the emotion overtake him right off the bat.
Throughout his illustrious 17-year career in the NBA, Duncan has been one of the best role models the league has ever produced, or sports for that matter, and you can only imagine how great of a father he is.
It’s always great when all of the stars align and you get to see moments like this. When Michael Jordan capturelevel, d an NBA title on Father’s Day not long after the tragic death of his father, it hit you immediately.
This moment above isn’t anywhere near that level, but it’s still a pretty neat sight to see Duncan celebrate history with his two children on Father’s Day.
