San Antonio Spurs forward Tim Duncan declared himself "a Spur for life" during the playoffs, and that will hold true.
The Spurs re-signed Duncan on Wednesday. Terms of the deal were not announced, but Yahoo! Sports reported the deal is good for three years and around $34 million.
"Tim Duncan has established himself as one of the best players in NBA history," said Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich. "His impact on the Spurs organization and the city of San Antonio can't be measured. We are all grateful for the leadership and dedication Tim has shown to the Spurs franchise. He is an unselfish superstar who loves to compete and has only one goal when he steps on the court - to do whatever it takes to help his team win. We are all thrilled that he'll spend his entire career as a San Antonio Spur."
