At 39 years old, Tim Duncan has managed to find the Fountain of Youth, playing his 19th season in the NBA.
Duncan is still the anchor of the Spurs, and has been for his entire career, proving the Spurs nailed the pick when they took him first overall in the 1997 draft.
Looking back at the '97 draft, it's clear the Spurs won the entire thing, as Duncan stands head and shoulder above the other picks. While there are a few notable All-Stars and solid role players, none of them compare to Duncan.
It's quite startling looking at the difference in success of Duncan's career vs. some of his peers.
Take a look back at where some of those picks after Duncan landed.
The Spurs took Tim Duncan with the No. 1 overall pick, setting up a 19-year run of dominance.
