Tim Duncan

Position: Power forward/center.

Height/weight: 6-11, 260.

College: Wake Forest.

Did you know? He didn't play basketball until ninth grade. Before that, he was a U.S-ranked swimmer, until Hurricane Hugo destroyed his local pool.

 

Nazr Mohammed

Position: Center/power forward.

Height/weight: 6-10, 250.

College: Kentucky.

Did you know? Mohammed showed up for his freshman season at Kentucky weighing 300 pounds. Had he not left school after his junior year, he and Tayshaun Prince would have played together.

 

Manu Ginobili

Position: Shooting guard.

Height/weight: 6-6, 205.

Country: Argentina.

Did you know? According to USA Today, Ginobili still has a life-sized poster of Michael Jordan in his bedroom at his parents' home. He's such a star in Argentina that last summer police discovered a group was plotting to kidnap his brother.

 

Bruce Bowen

Position: Small forward.

Height/weight: 6-7, 200.

College: Cal State Fullerton.

Did you know? He finished second to Ben Wallace for defensive player of the year, but has a reputation around the league as a dirty defender. Said Ray Allen in the Austin-American Statesman: "When you go to the basket, he'll shove you, and then he'll fall."

 

Tony Parker

Position: Point guard.

Height/weight: 6-2, 180.

Country: France.

Did you know? He is dating "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria. She was seen courtside at Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.

 

Robert Horry

Position: Forward.

Height/weight: 6-10, 240.

College: Alabama.

Did you know? Don't ask this former Laker what it's like to be on a rebuilding team. Horry has played in 191 playoff games and won five NBA championships, the most among active players.

 

Brent Barry

Position: Shooting guard.

Height/weight: 6-7, 210.

College: Oregon State.

Did you know? Brother Jon was a fan favorite off the bench for the Pistons in 2001-03. The pair's father, Rick, was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987 after a 14-year career in the NBA and ABA.

 

Beno Udrih

Position: Point guard.

Height/weight: 6-3, 200.

Country: Slovenia.

Did you know? The Spurs love tagging overseas talent before the rest of the NBA catches on. Udrih might be next in line; he was the first Slovenian in All-Star festivities when he competed in the Rookie Challenge.
