The 2002-2003 season was another excellent year for Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs. Duncan played in 81 games, averaging 23.3 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks per game while shooting 51.3% from the field. Duncan was named to the All-NBA First Team for the fifth time in his career and earned his fourth NBA championship.

 The Spurs finished the regular season with a record of 60-22, earning the top seed in the Western Conference. In the playoffs, they faced the Phoenix Suns in the first round and won the series in six games before facing the three-peat-seeking Los Angeles Lakers in the second round. The Spurs won the series in six games, with Duncan averaging 28.0 points and 14.0 rebounds per game.

 In the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs faced the Dallas Mavericks for the second time in three years. The series was another hard-fought battle that went six games, with the Spurs emerging victorious. In the NBA Finals, the Spurs faced the New Jersey Nets for the third time in five years. The series was another competitive one, but the Spurs prevailed in six games, with Duncan recording a triple-double in the series-clinching game. Duncan was named the Finals MVP for the third time in his career, becoming the first player to win the award in both back-to-back and non-consecutive years.

 Off the court, Duncan continued his philanthropy work, including donating funds to support Hurricane Isabel relief efforts in his hometown of St. Croix.

 In summary, Tim Duncan’s 2003 NBA season was yet another impressive year for the NBA superstar. He earned All-NBA First Team honors for the fifth time, won his fourth NBA championship, and won his third Finals MVP award. Despite his on-court success, Duncan continued to use his platform to make positive impacts off the court through his philanthropic efforts.
