The 2001–02 NBA season was the Spurs' 26th season in the National Basketball Association, the 29th in San Antonio, and 35th season as a franchise. During the offseason, the Spurs acquired Steve Smith from the Portland Trail Blazers, and signed free agents Bruce Bowen and second-year guard Stephen Jackson, and drafted French basketball star Tony Parker with the 28th overall pick in the 2001 NBA draft. This was also the Spurs' last season at the Alamodome, as they moved into the brand new SBC Center the next season. The Spurs won 20 of their first 24 games after a ten-game winning streak in December, then posted a 13-game winning streak in March and won their final nine games, finishing first place in the Midwest Division with a 58–24 record. Tim Duncan averaged 25.5 points, 12.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game as he earned his first NBA MVP award joining David Robinson as the only Spurs to win the award. He was also named to the All-NBA First Team, NBA All-Defensive First Team, and was selected for the 2002 NBA All-Star Game. Robinson averaged 12.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, while Smith provided the team with 11.6 points per game. Parker averaged 9.2 points and 4.3 assists per game, and made the NBA All-Rookie First Team, while Bowen was selected to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team.
