"With his fifth block of the Spurs' 95-88 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies at the AT&T Center on Sunday night, Spurs captain Tim Duncan moved into select company among the NBA's all-time interior defenders.

Duncan's rejection of Zach Randolph's short jumper with 3:55 remaining in the third period was the 2,356th block of his career, tying him with Alonzo Mourning for 10th place on the NBA's list.

Duncan needs only five more to catch former Celtics great Robert Parish for ninth place.

"It just means I've been playing a long time," said Duncan, in his 14th NBA season.

The perennial member of the NBA's All-Defensive team has a long way to go to catch retired teammate David Robinson for No. 1 on the Spurs' all-time list. Robinson blocked 2,954 shots, fifth-best in league history.

Houston's Hakeem Olajuwon is the all-time leader with 3,830.

Three of Duncan's blocks Sunday came on one Grizzlies possession, when Randolph kept trying to get his shots past Duncan."
