# 2000–01 San Antonio Spurs season

The 2000–01 NBA season was the Spurs' 25th season in the National Basketball Association, their 28th season in San Antonio, and their 34th season as a franchise. During the off-season, the Spurs signed free agents Derek Anderson, and Danny Ferry. All-Star forward Tim Duncan had nearly signed a free-agent deal with the Orlando Magic, who had offered him a six-year contract worth $67.5 million; however, Duncan decided to stay with the Spurs.
The team got off to a 13–9 start, then won ten of their next twelve games, and held a 31–16 record at the All-Star break. The Spurs continued to be among the NBA's elite teams, winning 23 of their final 29 games to recapture the Midwest Division with a 58–24 record, which was the best record in the league, while posting a league best 33–8 record at home.
Duncan averaged 22.2 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, and was named to the All-NBA First Team, and to the NBA-All Defensive First Team, while David Robinson averaged 14.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game, and was named to the All-NBA Third Team. In addition, Anderson provided the team with 15.5 points and 1.5 steals per game, while Antonio Daniels contributed 9.4 points and 3.8 assists per game off the bench, Sean Elliott provided with 7.9 points per game in only 52 games, and Malik Rose averaged 7.7 points and 5.4 rebounds per game off the bench in only 57 games. Three-point specialist Terry Porter contributed 7.2 points per game, Avery Johnson provided with 5.6 points and 4.3 assists per game, and Ferry also contributed 5.6 points per game.
Duncan and Robinson were both selected for the 2001 NBA All-Star Game in Washington, D.C., which was Robinson's final All-Star appearance. Duncan also finished in second place in Most Valuable Player voting behind Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers, and in third place in Defensive Player of the Year voting, while Robinson finished tied in fifth place.
In the Western Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Spurs would easily defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves in four games. In the Western Conference Semi-finals, they beat the 5th-seeded Dallas Mavericks in five games to advance to the Western Conference finals, where they were swept in four straight games by the 2nd-seeded defending, and eventual back-to-back NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers, who were led by Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. The Lakers would reach the NBA Finals to defeat the 76ers in five games, winning their second consecutive championship.
Following the season, Anderson was traded along with Steve Kerr to the Portland Trail Blazers, while Johnson re-signed as a free agent with the Denver Nuggets, Samaki Walker signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, and Elliott retired after twelve seasons in the NBA, eleven in which he spent playing with the Spurs.
