Icons such as Tim Duncan, Manu Ginóbili and David Robinson stood side by side with current personalities and rising stars. Their presence underlined the unequaled heritage of the franchise and the deeply rooted culture that Johnson is now responsible for maintaining.
Projectors on emerging talents and personal connections
