尽管篮圈仍处于停摆状态，但赛科的NBA编辑将为联盟中的每支球队编制最终的首发阵容。注意事项：只有那些自1995-96赛季进入联盟的球员才能被包括在内。
在北美四大职业体育联盟中，比圣安东尼奥马刺更好的组织更少。进入2019-20赛季，马刺队在活跃的NBA联赛中拥有最高的获胜率，并以22次连续季后赛出场的成绩分享联盟纪录。
即使在1996-97赛季短暂的低迷时期，圣安东尼奥队还是幸运地赢得了选秀彩票，这使得他们有权在那年夏天选择蒂姆·邓肯作为总冠军。
在过去的25个赛季里，只有洛杉矶湖人队赢得了和马刺队一样多的NBA冠军。圣安东尼奥成功的核心是传奇主教练波波维奇，他在管理球员和从一个马刺篮球时代过渡到下一个马刺篮球时代方面做得非常出色。
不用多费吹灰之力，这里是圣安东尼奥过去25年来最好的5人单位。
警卫
托尼·帕克

帕克几乎是第一天首发，在他17年的任期内，他没有放弃在马刺前五名的位置。在2001-02赛季，法国人率领圣安东尼奥队助攻和抢断，成为第一个获得所有新秀一线队荣誉的外籍后卫。
在帕克的第四个NBA赛季，他有一对总冠军戒指。然而，这位六次入选全明星队的球员在两次系列赛的胜利中都有些挣扎，在2003年的总决赛中投篮命中率为38.6%，在2005年的总决赛中平均失误3.1次。
两年后，帕克以56.8%的命中率获得了24.5分的系列赛最高得分，成为首位被评为决赛MVP的欧洲出生球员。他在NBA的四次全选中结束了自己的职业生涯，是马刺历史上的助攻领袖。
马努-吉诺比利
如果帕克在总排名第28位时是个抢手货，那么在1999年NBA选秀结束时让吉诺比利上场应该被认为是个抢手货。在意大利度过了一段辉煌的时光后，这名6英尺6英寸的后卫终于在2002年来到了意大利足协。那个赛季，吉诺比利入选了全新秀第二阵容，并且在季后赛中随着俱乐部第二次夺冠而扩大了角色。
这位阿根廷人在2004-05赛季成为了一名全职首发球员，在两次全明星赛中首次出场。尽管吉诺比利已经成为圣安东尼奥最主要的得分选择之一，但他还是在2006-07赛季的下半场回到了替补席上。一年后，他以近乎一致的票数获得了第六人的荣誉，并在NBA职业生涯的剩余时间里继续以替补的身份茁壮成长。
吉诺比利在2018年8月退役，拥有四枚总冠军戒指和一对NBA精选球员，但他对联盟的影响远不止这些。左撇子的犀利射门普及了欧洲站，改变了教练使用后备球员的方式。
福沃德
卡希·伦纳德

当得到伦纳德意味着要和乔治·希尔分手时，他当时是一个关键的旋转棋子，你知道马刺在做什么。仅仅在他的第三个NBA赛季，“克劳”就赢得了NBA全防守二队的荣誉，并成为联盟历史上第三年轻的总决赛MVP，此前他在2014年总决赛中锁定了勒布朗·詹姆斯。
从那以后，伦纳德的进攻性比赛扩大了，他很快就成为了联盟中最重要的双向威胁之一。他在2014-2015赛季每场比赛中都有2.3次联盟领先的抢断，并在同一赛季赢得了他连续两次获得年度最佳防守球员奖中的第一次。伦纳德在2016年和2017年的全明星和全NBA一线队选拔赛中继续上升。
大人物
邓肯
邓肯不应该在圣安东尼奥结束比赛。在前一年创下59胜纪录后，马刺在1996-97赛季意外地以20-62大比分失利，因为伤病限制了中锋大卫·罗宾逊打6场比赛。如上所述，球队的努力最终获得了当年的最佳人选——剩下的就是历史。
邓肯很快就在联盟精英中站稳了脚跟，在他年度新秀的征程中，他平均得到21.1分、11.9个篮板和2.5个盖帽。到第二个赛季结束时，邓肯已经是NBA冠军，总决赛MVP，两次入选NBA一线队，两次入选NBA全防守阵容。
对于一个拥有如此简单却高效的游戏风格的玩家来说，“大基础”是一个再合适不过的绰号了。邓肯有他前哨的动作，一个可靠的中锋射门，并且表现出非凡的防守本能。马刺历史上的头号得分手将于8月入选纳史密斯名人堂。
大卫罗宾逊
这位海军上将最好的年景是在1995-96赛季之前，但在随后的几年里，他仍然很有效率。在接下来的八个赛季里，罗宾逊又获得了四次全明星赛出场机会，两次NBA全防守点头，以及一次全NBA一线队选拔赛。
在罗宾逊和邓肯的带领下，圣安东尼奥赢得了球队历史上的前两个冠军。这对组合被称为“双子塔”，并为马刺提供了一个强大的边缘保护存在，在他们的六个赛季在一起。或许更重要的是，罗宾逊愿意指导邓肯，这有助于培养他们伟大的化学反应，为邓肯离开后的长期未来做好准备。
罗宾逊在2002-03赛季圣安东尼奥的总冠军之后排名第一，在篮板和盖帽方面仅次于邓肯。
刚刚错过了
阿尔德里奇
尽管阿尔德里奇在过去的十年里一直是一个稳定的典范，但由于一对历史上最伟大的球员，他差一点错过了马刺的五场首发。自2015年加盟圣安东尼奥以来，奥尔德里奇一直是一名稳定的低位和中距离射手。在马刺的五个赛季中，他在50.4%的命中率下平均得到19.8分，每场比赛8.2个篮板。
自从从波特兰开拓者队过来之后，这位大个子还增加了三个全明星阵容，并两次获得NBA的荣誉。在34岁的时候，奥尔德里奇仍然很强壮，他比以往任何时候都多投了三分球，适应了现代比赛。
布鲁斯-鲍文
杰西·加拉布兰特/国家篮球协会/盖蒂
早在“三维”专家越来越受到NBA球队的重视之前，马刺就已经从中获益。虽然伯恩从来没有平均得分两位数，但他是一名出色的外线射手，尤其是在角球。
这位身高6英尺7英寸的前锋在圣安东尼奥的8个赛季中，从迪普的投篮命中率为40.5%，其中包括2002-2003赛季的44.1%。鲍恩也曾七次入选NBA全防守球队，多年来锁定了科比和勒布朗-詹姆斯这样的球员。
埃利奥特
埃利奥特立即先于伯恩，并担任了类似的角色，他的继任者-但更具攻击性的打击。1995-96赛季，埃利奥特第二次出现在全明星阵容中，得分（每场20分）和三分球（161分）均创下职业生涯新高。从那以后，由于伤病和肾病，他再也不是同一个球员了。

Ultimate 5: The best Spurs lineup since '95
原文：
While hoops remain on hiatus, theScore's NBA editors will be compiling ultimate starting lineups for each team in the Association. The catch: Only players who have been in the league since the 1995-96 season can be included.
Out of North America's four major professional sports leagues, there are fewer organizations better run than the San Antonio Spurs. Entering the 2019-20 campaign, the Spurs held the highest winning percentage among active NBA franchises and shared the league record with 22 straight playoff appearances.
Even when things went south briefly in 1996-97, San Antonio lucked out by winning the draft lottery, which gave them the right to select Tim Duncan with the No. 1 overall pick that summer.
Over the last 25 seasons, only the Los Angeles Lakers have won as many NBA titles as the Spurs. At the center of San Antonio's success has been legendary head coach Gregg Popovich, who has done a masterful job managing his players and transitioning from one era of Spurs basketball to the next.
Without further ado, here's San Antonio's best five-man unit over the last quarter-century.
Guards
Tony Parker

Parker was virtually a Day 1 starter and didn't relinquish his spot in the Spurs' first five for the remainder of his 17-year tenure. In 2001-02, the Frenchman led San Antonio in assists and steals en route to becoming the first foreign-born guard to earn All-Rookie first-team honors.
By Parker's fourth NBA campaign, he had a pair of championship rings. However, the six-time All-Star had some struggles in both series victories, shooting 38.6% from the field in the 2003 Finals and averaging 3.1 turnovers in the 2005 Finals.
Parker redeemed himself two years later by scoring a series-high 24.5 points on 56.8% shooting as he became the first European-born player to be named Finals MVP. He finished his career with four All-NBA selections and is the Spurs' all-time assists leader.
Manu Ginobili
If Parker was a steal at 28th overall, landing Ginobili near the end of the 1999 NBA Draft should be considered a heist. After a decorated stint in Italy, the 6-foot-6 guard eventually made his way to the Association in 2002. That season, Ginobili was named to the All-Rookie second team and saw an expanded role during the postseason as the club won its second championship.
The Argentinean became a full-time starter in 2004-05, earning his first of two All-Star appearances. But despite establishing himself as one of San Antonio's primary scoring options, Ginobili shifted back to the bench during the second half of the 2006-07 season. A year later, he took home Sixth Man honors by a near-unanimous vote and continued thriving in a reserve role for the rest of his NBA career.
Ginobili retired in August 2018 with four championship rings and a pair of All-NBA selections to his name, yet his impact on the league goes beyond that. The sharpshooting lefty popularized the Eurostep and changed the way coaches used reserve players.
Forward
Kawhi Leonard

When acquiring Leonard meant parting with George Hill, who was a key rotational piece at the time, you knew the Spurs were onto something. In only his third NBA season, the "Klaw" earned NBA All-Defensive second-team honors and became the third-youngest Finals MVP in league history after locking down LeBron James in the 2014 Finals.
From that point onward, Leonard's offensive game expanded and he soon became one of the league's premier two-way threats. He had an Association-leading 2.3 steals per game in 2014-15 and won his first of two straight Defensive Player of the Year awards that same season. Leonard continued his ascent with a pair of All-Star and All-NBA first-team selections in 2016 and 2017.
Bigs
Tim Duncan
Duncan was never supposed to wind up in San Antonio. After recording 59 wins the year before, the Spurs stumbled to an unexpected 20-62 mark in 1996-97 as injuries limited star center David Robinson to six games. As mentioned above, the team's struggles ultimately netted the top selection that year - the rest is history.
Duncan quickly established himself among the league's elite, averaging 21.1 points, 11.9 boards, and 2.5 blocks during his Rookie of the Year campaign. By the end of his second season, Duncan was already an NBA champion, Finals MVP, two-time All-NBA first-team member, and two-time NBA All-Defensive selection.
"The Big Fundamental" couldn't have been a more appropriate nickname for a player with such a simple, yet highly effective style of play. Duncan had his go-to post moves, a reliable mid-range bank shot, and showed remarkable defensive instincts. The Spurs' all-time leading scorer will be inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame in August.
David Robinson
The Admiral's best years were before the 1995-96 season, but he remained productive in the years that followed. Robinson racked up four more All-Star appearances, two additional NBA All-Defensive nods, and an All-NBA first-team selection over the next eight seasons.
With Robinson and Duncan at the forefront, San Antonio won its first two titles in franchise history. The duo became known as the "Twin Towers" and provided the Spurs with an imposing rim-protecting presence during their six seasons together. Perhaps more importantly, Robinson's willingness to mentor Duncan helped foster their great chemistry and prepared the latter for the long-term future without him.
Robinson rode off on top following San Antonio's championship in 2002-03 and trails only Duncan on the club's all-time list in rebounds and blocks.
Just missed
LaMarcus Aldridge
Although Aldridge has been a model of consistency over the past decade, he narrowly misses the Spurs' starting five thanks to a pair of all-time greats. Since joining San Antonio in 2015, Aldridge has been a stabilizing low-post and mid-range scorer. He's averaging 19.8 points on 50.4% shooting to go along with 8.2 boards per contest in parts of five seasons with the Spurs.
The big man has also added three more All-Star selections and earned All-NBA honors twice since coming over from the Portland Trail Blazers. At age 34, Aldridge is still going strong and has adapted to the modern game by shooting more 3-pointers than ever before.
Bruce Bowen

Long before "3-and-D" specialists became increasingly valued by NBA teams, the Spurs reaped the benefits. While Bowen never averaged double-digits in scoring, he was an exceptional outside shooter, particularly from the corner.
The 6-foot-7 forward shot 40.5% from deep - including a league-leading 44.1% in 2002-03 - across eight seasons in San Antonio. Bowen was also a seven-time NBA All-Defensive team selection, locking down the likes of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James over the years.
Sean Elliott
Elliott immediately preceded Bowen and held a similar role as his successor - but with much more offensive punch. In 1995-96, Elliott made his second All-Star appearance and recorded career highs in scoring (20 points per game) and 3-pointers made (161). From that point onward, he was never the same player due to injuries and a kidney disease.
