Father time? No, OK

If there’s one player and team that have found a way to beat the undefeated father time, it’s been Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs. And they’re going to battle it out again this season.

Specifically, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili. Last season, the Spurs were on a mission. They accomplished that when they dethroned the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals. But with not as much (expected) motivation this season, will Duncan and Manu manage to hold off father time again?

I’m not so sure. However, they’ve shown the ability to do it so well in the past.
