A Comprehensive Look at Every San Antonio Spurs Player Who Has Ever Been Selected to the Prestigious All-Time All-NBA First Team Throughout the Franchise’s History in the National Basketball Association (NBA)

Check out the NBA players to be named to the All-NBA First Team while with the San Antonio Spurs.

Tim Duncan sits atop the list for All-NBA First Team players for the Spurs.

The San Antonio Spurs have the fifth-most titles of NBA franchise with five rings to their credit. Along the way, the Spurs have had some truly outstanding seasons from franchise cornerstone players. Let’s take a deeper dive into the San Antonio Spurs who have earned All-NBA First Team honors while in the Alamo City.

Here, we take a look at all the players who were named to the All-NBA First Team while playing for San Antonio.

Tim Duncan – 10 times (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2013)

The Big Fundamental played a key role in kicking off what was the most successful era in franchise history. Duncan made First Team All-NBA in his second season, beginning an unbelievable run in which he could essentially be penciled in as a first-teamer at power forward for the better part of a decade.

Duncan made First Team All-NBA eight years in a row and nine times in a 10-year span from 1998 to 2007. He won back-to-back MVP honors in 2002 and 2003 as well. He remained a perennial All-Star after that initial run and had a late-career renaissance in 2013 when he made First Team All-NBA 10th and final time as part of a Spurs team that would make the Finals.

George Gervin – 5 times (1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982)

Iceman bridged the gap between the Spurs days in the ABA to their transition to the NBA and became a franchise cornerstone along the way. Gervin’s peak in the late 1970s into the early 80s was one of the best the league has ever seen.

Gervin made First Team All-NBA in five straight seasons and won the scoring title in four of those years. His high watermark came in 1979 when he averaged a career-high 33.1 points en route to finishing as the MVP runner-up to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Gervin retired as the franchise’s all-time scoring leader and has only been surpassed by Tim Duncan.

David Robinson – 4 times (1991, 1992, 1995, 1996)

The Admiral was a Spurs lifer who spent all 14 of his seasons in San Antonio. Robinson was a two-way force who could do it all. He has a scoring title and a blocks title to his credit, which is something few other players have accomplished.

Robinson’s peak came in the early 90s when he was routinely a part of the All-NBA First Team, which is particularly impressive considering the other all-time great big men playing in that era. Robinson won the MVP in 1995 and finished top three in MVP voting six times in a seven-year span.

Later in his career, Robinson and Tim Duncan would form one of the greatest frontcourt tandems in NBA history en route to winning the 1999 and 2003 NBA championships.

Kawhi Leonard – 2 times (2016, 2017)

Leonard is the most recent Spur to be named to the All-NBA First Team. His prowess on the defensive end was established early in his career, and with some seasoning, his offensive game became equally potent.

Leonard, of course, was a key part of the Spurs’ back-to-back runs to the Finals in 2013 and 2014. He truly came into his own shortly after those runs, though, as he was a repeat All-NBA First Teamer in 2016 and 2017. Across those two seasons, Leonard averaged 23.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game. In addition to being a first-teamer in 2016, Leonard also won Defensive Player of the Year and finished second in MVP voting. Leonard has since gone on to have successful stints with the Raptors and Clippers and has added more All-NBA honors to his collection, in addition to an NBA championship in Toronto.
