The Magic Almost Made A Superteam With Tim Duncan

In the summer of 2000, Tim Duncan wanted to leave the Spurs.

He wanted to form a Big 3 with Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill on the Magic.

[{"selector":"#anim-7a4fdd2f-6378-4a7c-b72e-7dde27497037 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-61.74244782095406%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The Magic went all-out on their pitch, and even had a custom Disney World trip for him.

[{"selector":"#anim-701998ef-57b3-4d1b-b918-3b4bfb666afc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2b945d5e-3aa9-40f3-98ec-40314bdf8143","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

They offered him a 6-year, $67.5 million contract. Tim was close to signing.

[{"selector":"#anim-133ee680-7b8a-4018-bdb9-24622d0fe462 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(9.182619132902706%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

But everything changed when Duncan's girlfriend asked coach Doc Rivers a question.

[{"selector":"#anim-9743662f-0357-436b-9cbb-9db08172f4c8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(49.12369782095406%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-80294f73-8f72-4bbd-8cf6-845abba8324b","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]

"Would family members would be allowed on the team plane?" she asked.

[{"selector":"#anim-e235794e-121d-48af-8041-dfdb26d5440a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.90624987200394%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c28e20aa-2930-4a4e-b23f-e6aaaa914fd9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(119.12751%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9cc792f1-1af2-453e-a899-f8de32b4760d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-10dd7962-e676-4c4e-acc5-d9ba8f233896","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Rivers surprisingly said no. Team flights were only for players.

[{"selector":"#anim-5fb1a3ed-3d4d-4e63-942c-667d94becf8a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d958ce56-ba5a-45b5-a969-f08dc06eaffd","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-53a3619f-2443-45a9-a8e4-28c803f6b40f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Meanwhile, Gregg Popovich and the Spurs did allow family members on the team plane.

[{"selector":"#anim-9d645ede-9819-4f2d-abfb-44c0620df860 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.226190380475614%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-365b9bca-76f6-4284-be54-0c648d50fa6c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

That was the turning point. And Duncan chose to stay with the Spurs after that.

[{"selector":"#anim-af377387-99bf-416a-a45c-c6a7ebc4f39a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.247135320954065%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

After staying in San Antonio, Duncan won 4 more titles and 2 MVPs.

[{"selector":"#anim-b1ac32f6-02d2-42ce-a65b-c673d0df8540","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-130.07813%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-47b769d9-3a8a-49d5-b03f-0fa0e0cc38b5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-88b20250-b40a-4fa2-8d3e-8ab3fe23a660","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9c224bc1-75f7-480c-b432-8ce60d8f71bf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-12.54546149745807%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

We never did get to see what a Duncan-McGrady-Hill trio would've looked like.
