player. 29. <p>There have been dynasties in the NBA, but then there’s the San Antonino Spurs. They don’t have the illustrious history that franchises like the Celtics, Bulls or Lakers have but they have the success to hang with the best of them.</p> <p>In the last 15 years, the Spurs have been a dominant force in the NBA armed with future Hall of Fame names like Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and a current Hall of Famer in David Robinson.</p> <p><span style=. 1967 - Present. Western Conference. San Antonio Spurs. 27

PG. The Spurs have been around a while, but it seems the best teams they’ve ever put together have been teams over the last decade or so. Tony Parker is without a doubt the best point guard the team has ever had, and a lineup without him in it isn’t a valid one.. Point Guard. San Antonio Spurs. TONY PARKER

San Antonio Spurs. MANU GINOBILI. SG. Ginobili has been a stud in the current Spurs’ Big 3, and the only competition in the teams history is Alvin Robertson. Still, there’s really no topping what Ginolbili has been able to do for the Spurs and he just works too well with this all-time lineup to not be included on the roster.. Shooting Guard

SF. The only player on the all-time roster to have retired before Duncan dynasty began, Gervin was one of the original Spurs legends. He started as an ABA star before merging with the NBA and becoming a star there too. He was an anchor for those early Spurs teams and helped put the team on the map in a big way.. Small Forward. San Antonio Spurs. GEORGE GERVIN

San Antonio Spurs. TIM DUNCAN. PF. There might not be a Spurs star as important to or more synonymous with the Spurs than Tim Duncan is. He embodies everything the team is about, from his quiet demeanor to the endless string of always winning. Tim Duncan <em>is </em>the Spurs and he’s the first piece you insert when thinking about who belongs on the all-time roster.. Power Forward

Robinson played a few years with Tim Duncan, and their Twin Towers nickname was no joke. The duo helped spark what would end up being one of the best NBA dynasties ever. Had Robinson stuck around, who knows how much they would have won, and having Duncan at his prime and Robinson at his prime is probably the best big man duo in NBA history. . Center. San Antonio Spurs. DAVID ROBINSON. C
