my favorite Duncan moment was when he choked on that layup in game 6 in the 2013 finals

'Tim Duncan, and he ain't frontin'. Drive the rock and he'll show you something.'

Still remember that Duncan/Kobe Sprite commercial

Repped!

I remember them raps like it just happened.

"Kobe...BRYANT...slam dunk giant, out play the Kobes, son don't try it"

One of my low key favourite Tim Duncan moments is the two post ups in OT vs OKC in 2014, to eliminate OKC in game 6.


The Spurs had moved to the pick and roll heavy, 3 point shooting oriented offense, but when it got really hairy and they absolutely needed a bucket, they went to Timmy on left block and he delivered.

Classic.

Sad to see TD is retiring but glad and thankful for all he's given the fans and the sport.

Without getting into the positional C/PF debate, IMO he's top 10 all time greats.
Hopefully someday we'll get the "next" Duncan, but I highly doubt it.

Favorite Duncan moment was in the 2003 playoffs. He's inbounding the ball. No passing lanes. Calls timout to avoid the 5 sec violation.

TD, much respect, top ten player of all time.

Timmy D, one of my favorite players ever. Always enjoyed watching the Spurs with him despite so many people claiming that they're boring or basic. The man was putting on a clinic daily for 20 years. Cant wait for his HoF speech.

Draymond Green arrested for assault in East Lansing

http://www.mlive.com/spartans/index.ssf/2016/07/draymond_green.html

The details of Green's arrest are unknown at this time.

"The police department is not confirming any arrest with that name," said Lt. Scott Wrigglesworth, the East Lansing police department Public Information Officer. "What I can confirm is that we did arrest a current NBA basketball player this weekend and he was arrested for assault. That's all we're confirming right now."

I remember exactly where I was on the night Tim Duncan was drafted. That night feels like two lifetimes ago.

 

[MVP]

Respeck to the 6th best center of all time. KG is up next and everything I officially hold dear from a basketball standpoint is gone [emoji]128546[/emoji].

 

[antidope]

The three against Phoenix >>>

The fact that they actually ran a set play for a Duncan three
The emotion from Duncan
The Stoic face immediately after
Pringles' face

 

[everysingletime]

Of all the times to get in trouble with cops. Draymond Green is an idiot. Lol

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Tim Duncan just retired. Thanks for everything man.

Finally people are starting to see the light and utilize critical thinking. The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that he's a power forward.

Foh timmy

Obviously Kevin Durant is a sleep agent embedded in the Warriors org by the Thunder.

Draymond nutpunched the wrong dude. Throw the book at him.

I lost my virginity when Duncan was getting drafted. I remember this cause I was doing doggystyle to the block ****. That's how I knew it was SpursNation since then.
