The GDP portfolio consists of Ginobili, Duncan and Parker. Duncan is the absolute core of GDP portfolio. After the first power forward in history announced his participation in the draft at 1997, teams with more than half a hemisphere in the league destroyed him in order to get him. Finally, the Spurs were lucky enough to get the No.1 draft, bringing this talented player to San Antonio.
In the first season after Jordan retired, Duncan led the Spurs to the first championship trophy in team history. Duncan averaged 28 points 14 rebounds in the finals and won the finals FMVP without any dispute. It is also this year. The Spurs selected Ginobili from Argentina in the draft, but did not recruit him into the team.
After the Spurs won the championship, they began to build their own new lineup. At 200 1, the spurs chose French teenager Tony Parker in the draft, and in 2002, the spurs brought back Ginobili. The GDP portfolio was also formally established.
The style of GDP portfolio is very obvious. Duncan is the core of the team's attack and defense, Parker is the starting point of tactics, and Ginobili walks around the court looking for opportunities. In the 2003 Western Conference Finals, the GDP combination led the Spurs to beat the Lakers, and broke out the OK combination, and defeated the Nets to win the championship in the finals.
In the 2005 finals, the GDP combination reached the finals again. They defeated the Pistons, who are famous for their iron and blood defense, and won the championship again. In 2007, the GDP portfolio was challenged by James in the finals, and they easily defeated James and his Cavaliers 4-0. Five years and three crowns, the GDP combination at the peak period is definitely the strongest combination in the alliance.
On 20 14, the spurs won the championship again, but this time the GDP combination became the supporting role of the team, and the new core of the spurs Leonard began to take over the team.
In the 20 16 season, 19 Duncan, who played for the Spurs, announced his retirement, which also represented the dissolution of the vertical and horizontal league GDP portfolio in the 13 season. The following year, Ginobili also announced his retirement, and Tony Parker left the Spurs. The GDP combination has also officially become a memory in the hearts of Spurs fans.
GDP combined with four championships, defeated OK, broke the iron barrel array of pistons and five tigers, defeated young James, and finally broke up the Heat Big Three, which is definitely the most successful combination in history.
