March 2, at the Clippers.

I've never seen Duncan play in person, I'm thrilled.

Thought I'd share. :)

[BlackSwordsMan]

aboot time

[Dex]

Ohhhhh snap!

Congratulations! It's about damn time.

I hope that it's all you imagined and more.

One thing I always notice when I'm AT the game is that I miss the instant replays, commentary, and nifty graphics. :lol But nothing beats being at the game.

[timvp]

Congrats.

[DAF86]

Congrats to the most popular person here :toast

Good for you!

(Remember, jumping your favorite player on the court is illegal) :lol

[MoSpur]

Congratulations Duncan228. I hope its all you expect and more.

Awesome fan, wonderfull reward !
Enjoy as much as you can ! :toast

[tp2021]

Finally!

I would've felt terrible if you never got to see Tim play.
Hopefully Pop doesn't sit Tim out to rest for Dallas 2 nights later. That would suck. I don't see it happening though, so you should be good. :toast

[EricB]

Awesome Duncan, have a great time!!! :)

[duncan228]

You guys are great. :)

Camera ready, road jersey ready.

[Spurs Brazil]

Congrats!!

Take a lot of pics and I hope you can get TD autograph

[urunobili]

It was about time!!!! :)

You'll be just speechless and you may start crying for the emotion i am sure!!!

It's definitively a dream come true to see them play :toast:

[sonic21]

congrats,
you need to send a letter to Pop to make sure the big 3 will play though.

[i LUV da SpURZ]

[anjlbitz]

Where are you sitting?

I hope you get to meet him.

[DPG21920]

That is good to hear, you deserve it. I hope a sweaty Tim Duncan falls into your lap, winks at you and then lightly grazes your cheek with his strong, yet tender hands.

[tp2021]

That is good to hear, you deserve it. I hope a sweaty Tim Duncan falls into your lap, winks at you and then lightly grazes your cheek with his strong, yet tender hands.

She's married! She wouldn't appreciate that AT ALL!





:p:

[lefty]

Nice :tu

[DPG21920]

She's married! She wouldn't appreciate that AT ALL!

Everyone gets that "one person I could leave you for and you could not be mad" thing in a relationship. I am not married, but my girlfriend knows if I meet Oprah and we hit it off, she is toast.

:wow
Geez, that's something I can't understand ^^ You already know Oprah personally I guess :rolleyes
Wait, what do I know about relationship, I'm single :lol

[duncan228]

I'm trying not to think about the back-to-back. There's no guarantee, even without Pop choosing to sit anyone. Obviously, I want to see Duncan play, all I can do is hope he does.

I don't know where I'm sitting yet, and I'm waiting to hear whether I'll have a shot at an autograph.

It's still pretty unreal. I'll tape it because I know I probably won't pay much attention to the game. :lol

[Tully365]

That is good to hear, you deserve it. I hope a sweaty Tim Duncan falls into your lap, winks at you and then lightly grazes your cheek with his strong, yet tender hands.

:lol Cheek grazing isn't cheating-- I'm sure Duncan228's husband would understand!

[IronMexican]

First game I ever went to was also a Clipper game. Grats.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Good for you! I hope League Pass gives us Spurs coverage for that night. I imagine they'll probably get a good shot of someone decked out in Spurs gear there.

Will you be bringing a sign or anything?

[lefty]

Spurstalk rocks, please !

or " Lefty rules " :D

Please

[duncan228]

Considering a sign. Got a couple of other ideas I'm messing with.

[DPG21920]

:wow
Geez, that's something I can't understand ^^ You already know Oprah personally I guess :rolleyes
Wait, what do I know about relationship, I'm single :lol

No, no, no. IF I meet Oprah, and she likes me, I will break up with my girlfriend and she knows not to be mad. Oprah is that 1 woman.

[ManuTP9]

Congrats! im going to the nets and spurs game today, im actually leaving in 30 min so i get there extra early, maybe i can get my jersey signed.

[lefty]

No, no, no. IF I meet Oprah, and she likes me, I will break up with my girlfriend and she knows not to be mad. Oprah is that 1 woman.

[ORION]

I though that due to the restraining order you are not supposed to attend games that Duncan plays in

Understood, but it's gotten out of hand before. Thats all. No offense.

Does your insurance company cover prescription glasses ?

Does your insurance cover sarcasm meters?

Staples center threat level just went up to Orange

[Summers]

That is good to hear, you deserve it. I hope a sweaty Tim Duncan falls into your lap, winks at you and then lightly grazes your cheek with his strong, yet tender hands.

Is it getting hot in here?

Congrats D228. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. :)

[tp2021]

Staples center threat level just went up to Orange

Chris Brown is having a concert?

[DynastyBuilder]

That's awesome d228! Have a ton of fun and take a ton of pictures to share!

[CubanMustGo]

It couldn't happen to someone more deserving. May it be everything you hope and more!!

[FromWayDowntown]

That's great news, duncan228! I hope Timmy has a career high in points and puts up a triple-double to boot.

And good for all of the rest of you who get to see the Spurs on the road. I've been to 7 Spurs' road games since 2003 and still have yet to see them win -- anywhere. While I continue to serve my ban on attending road games, I hope that each of you can bring them the good luck that I couldn't.

Oh, and Mikey -- damn, you'll get to see Rasheed Wallace's first game in a Spurs uniform. :lol

[SPURSfanINoc]

i went a clips/spurs game at staples center a couple years back. there was as many spurs fans as clippers fans.

enjoy!!!

[beachwood]

Word. I'm going to that game too.

[mexicanjunior]

Congrats! :D

[z0sa]

YAAAAY !!!1

228, you can't be Tim's biggest fan til you've seen him in person :downspin:

Onya, 228! It'll be awesome. :)

Now you only have 16 to go to catch up with me! :lol

[CubanMustGo]

Word. I'm going to that game too.

Maybe you can have a Spurstalk GTG. :king

[birdy219]

I'm happy for you. It's awesome watching them in person. They are skinnier in real life and Timmy is very light skinned. It's hard to tell the difference between tony, ime, and george on the court. Timmy makes the game look so easy. You have to look at the scoreboard to realize his stats. Have a great time. I missed getting a Timmy autograph by 3 minutes. I got a Manu one though. It was great. Manu is much better looking close up and in person. Another lady and I were left fanning ourselves. :lol I hope the Spurs win big that day. Enjoy. :flag:

[carina_gino20]

Awesome...if you can spare some precious seconds looking away from Timmy, maybe you can get a Manu picture for me. :p:

[Juanobili]

take a keyboard with you to feel at home :P


have fun! I always have a great time at Spurs games

[Fernando TD21]

Congrats duncan228! I hope you have a lot of fun. :toast
Remember to take extra batteries and extra memory cards for your cam.



It's hard to tell the difference between tony, ime, and george on the court.
Ime is the one who is missing shots.

[m33p0]

wooot!

[timmydidit]

you and me both im so excited i can barely contain myself!!! first game ever tomorrow at the ACC

[angelbelow]

cool.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I hope Duncan goes for career highs in every statistic imaginable (except for turnovers!)

:toast

Hope you have fun!

[ElNono]

Congrats and good luck! Enjoy the game!

don't you wish it was the other LA team playing?

228

don't you wish it was the other LA team playing?

Doesn't matter. I'm going to see the Spurs, I don't care who they're playing.

[duncan228]

Thanks for all the warm wishes guys. It's appreciated. :)

[erikuff]

Probably the first thing you'll notice is walking into the arena, going down your steps and looking for Timmy. And when you see him, it's so unreal. Have a good one! :smokin

[Duncanoypi]

Congrats....

I had a chanced to see Tim played in Indiana but the snow storm ruined it.

I settled with Rockets @ Bulls and New Jersey @ New york...(wow in MSG!) live!!!!

[remingtonbo2001]

Congrats duncan228. :toast

Enjoy the game and be sure to take lots of picutes.

[J.T.]

Pics or it didn't happen

[Rogue]

try to get two signatures from Duncan, duncan228.

[Yorae]

Do i feel envy? :depressed NO I don't...No...nah.....:bang

[MacGyver]

Have a nice time and enjoy instead all of us! :)

[Slomo]

Congrats!

I still remember my first live Spurs game, so I know this is going to be a special memory for you.


Have fun Duncan228, enjoy the game!

Bring your camera, take photos and share.

+1

[S_A_Longhorn]

Remember, when the Spurs win, DO NOT run onto the court to celebrate.

[zinagray]

You are going to LOVE it and become HOOKED!! I go to every game the Spurs play at the Staples center. When they play the Lakers it sucks cause people say SO much crap about Duncan and tell me to go home ( Cause I LOVE Duncan and always wear my jersey !) Now the Clipper fans are WAY more laid back and and don't say crap!! I was luck enough to get awsome seats for every game and was able to sit behind the Spurs bench. I was able to get Duncan and Bonner's autograph and a picture with Manu! These guys DO NOT turn there backs on there fans especially Manu. He went up the bleachers to give a Spurs fan an autograph and take a picture! These guys are AWSOME!!! You are going to have SO MUCH fun!!! I think I will just have to take you along with me next time and leave my husband at home!!! LOL LOL Have your camera ready and don't forget a marker for autographs you will need it!!! I am ready for another victory against the Clippers!!!

This happened to me in 2005. Got tickets for the Knicks game and Spurs are playing the Pistons on that Sunday first of the back to back.. Well Timmy twists the Ankle badly, flies home on the owners Jet and of course no Tim Duncan for the game i bought tickets too 4 months in advance... :depressed :bang

"man" is the most frequently used word for some people, no matter whether it's a man or woman they talk to.

if you can't make sure the gender of the people you're talking to, it's a smart decision to call him (or her) "man".

when you are sure you're talking to a kid who is decades younger than you, then you can also call him or her "son", despite the gender of the kid. But it's not a good manners to say "son" or "sons" to your contemporary men and women or those who are elder than you, unless you are BRHornet45. :lol

[Brutalis]

Take some good pics for me girl. You're going to have a great time and I can't think of a better person that deserves this trip.

Man, the way you went off on the Duncan trivia yesterday I assumed you'd at least seen him live before.

Going to a game is a special experience. I was privileged to be able to sit in the rich mans seats for a few seasons so it was extra sweet. But no matter where you sit, it's really fun. Hope you have a great time. :toast

[FromWayDowntown]

Really glad that Timmy's going to play tonight.

I hope it's a great night for duncan228 and for Timmy D!

Ditto!

Hope you have a great time Duncan228. enjoy the game.

waiting for 228's picture posts.

[duncan228]

I was given a gift tonight. And it turned out to be more than great seats to see the Spurs.

My tickets were at will call, according to the Staples Center info you can't pick up will call until 2 hours before the event time. I was there early, and it turns out I could get the tickets just after 5.

But the doors don't open until 6:15.

I was approached as I was leaving the box office by a nice man who simply said, "Do you want to get in early? Follow me, I'll get you in." I followed him. And I got in.

5:15. Top level of Staples. I ducked into a tunnel just to check out the court before I found my seat.

Duncan. On the court. Running through his game, just a few on the floor with him. Chip, Will, Udoka on the side. Mason Jr.

I was able to walk down to the first row, sit in the seat against the basket, and watch Duncan work for 30 minutes.

A few others came out, Bowen, Oberto, Thomas.

When Duncan finished and sat on the bench I moved to a seat against the tunnel. Oberto came by, signed my Go Spurs Go Banner for me.

And then Duncan came by. And signed the banner and my jersey.

I got Sean on the banner too.

The seats were great, the crowd was great, the game was great. It was wonderful to finally see my team live.

But that 30 minutes was by far the most incredible thing that's ever happened to me.

I've got several hundred pics, and some video, to sort through. I'll put them up as soon as I can.

[lurker23]

:) :) :)

Glad to hear it went so well; hopefully it'll be a more than a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but getting that kind of "one-on-one" time with your favorite player of all-time is something I'm sure you'll remember forever. Can't wait to see the pictures.

[m33p0]

And then Duncan came by. And signed the banner and my jersey.
Booyah!!!!!


i'm happy for you. :toast

[timtonymanu]

nice to know, duncan228. im so happy for you.

[EricB]

I literally let out a "YAH!" when I read that Duncan signed your jersey.

Awesome night 228. Glad to hear it :)

[Fermixalot]

D228, I've been having a pretty bad and stressful day, but hearing that you finally were able to see Tim live as well as get an autograph really lifted my spirits. Congratulations on tonight and hurry up and sort through those pictures!!!!

I got Sean on the banner too.

The seats were great, the crowd was great, the game was great. It was wonderful to finally see my team live.

But that 30 minutes was by far the most incredible thing that's ever happened to me.

I've got several hundred pics, and some video, to sort through. I'll put them up as soon as I can.

[Kriz-Maxima]

Awesome!

[DynastyBuilder]

228 that is so freaking awesome! I'm so happy for you :D

[ploto]

Duncan. On the court. Running through his game, just a few on the floor with him. Chip, Will, Udoka on the side. Mason Jr.

I was able to walk down to the first row, sit in the seat against the basket, and watch Duncan work for 30 minutes...

But that 30 minutes was by far the most incredible thing that's ever happened to me.

There really is nothing quite like sitting and watching a player you really care about simply go through his basketball work- is there? It has often been my favorite part of a game.

Glad it went so well. :toast

[MoSpur]

I'm happy for you D228. I'm glad you had a good time and glad you got to watch and meet the man named Tim Duncan.

Sounds awesome. Glad you had a great time.

[ATRAIN]

awesome!!! im glad you had a good time and got to meet your fav player!!

[Phenomanul]

:tu we're thrilled for you...

[Spursmania]

That sounds incredible. Although I have been a Spurs fan forever, I had not discovered this site until recently. I gathered real quickly how sincere everyone is in congratulating you. You must have deserved it! Can't wait for pics.:toast

[lefty]

let's not go there again, lefty.

Huh ?

[m33p0]

Huh ?

remember the time when you posted something similar and people dumped on you for doing it?

[Fpoonsie]

I literally let out a "YAH!" when I read that Duncan signed your jersey.

:lol So did I. Admittedly, I've simply been lurking here for a while and I'm certainly not that active, but it's fairly obvious (even to a casual ST contributor such as myself) that you deserve all the good fortune you get. I'm thrilled for you. :toast

[Dex]

I was given a gift tonight. And it turned out to be more than great seats to see the Spurs.

My tickets were at will call, according to the Staples Center info you can't pick up will call until 2 hours before the event time. I was there early, and it turns out I could get the tickets just after 5.

But the doors don't open until 6:15.

I was approached as I was leaving the box office by a nice man who simply said, "Do you want to get in early? Follow me, I'll get you in." I followed him. And I got in.

5:15. Top level of Staples. I ducked into a tunnel just to check out the court before I found my seat.

Duncan. On the court. Running through his game, just a few on the floor with him. Chip, Will, Udoka on the side. Mason Jr.

I was able to walk down to the first row, sit in the seat against the basket, and watch Duncan work for 30 minutes.

A few others came out, Bowen, Oberto, Thomas.

When Duncan finished and sat on the bench I moved to a seat against the tunnel. Oberto came by, signed my Go Spurs Go Banner for me.

And then Duncan came by. And signed the banner and my jersey.

I got Sean on the banner too.

The seats were great, the crowd was great, the game was great. It was wonderful to finally see my team live.

But that 30 minutes was by far the most incredible thing that's ever happened to me.

I've got several hundred pics, and some video, to sort through. I'll put them up as soon as I can.

Awesome, duncan228! I'm not sure if you could've hoped for any better, and it could not have happened to a more deserving person on the board. My jaw almost dropped off when I first found out that you had never seen Duncan play before.

Most importantly, I'm glad you finally got to meet him. The signed jersey is a badass bonus, but something tells me that came secondary to the experience.

[Agloco]

Good stuff, can't wait to see the pics.

[sook]

awesome dude, you are one lucky man :)

You're right

I forgot how people overreact here

But for the Duncan pic, it's just because she has his pics of him all over (avatar, signature, etc....)

I'm not trying to hurt anyone

[mrsmaalox]

Wow that is so cool! Really couldn't have happened to a nicer person! Last night during the game when Sean and Bill were commenting about the Clipper fans being so sedate and the only cheers they heard were for the Spurs, I just knew it was you :)

[peacemaker885]

Congrat's duncan228! I was also at the game, first NBA game ever. Shot ton's of pics. My wife saw Sean giving some autographs and having some pics, so I got one too :-) It was a thrill seeing the guys play in person.

I also saw Pops practice early with Chip, but I didn't even see him suit up for the game. I guess we won't be seeing much of him. Anyways, nice to see a lot of Spurs fans here in LA!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Wow! Sounds like everything you could have hoped for! I was hoping LP would give us Spurs coverage last night since I figured they'd be sure to show a shot of someone decked out in Spurs gear in an LA arena, but alas we got Clippers coverage.

[caribbean_spur]

Congrats! That's really cool!

[GervinGirl]

Congratulations. Stay up there on Cloud Nine and keep savoring those moments.

[Duncan74]

That is awsome Duncan228! I was also at the game last night and I had a blast. This was one of the best games I have been to at the Staples Center. I have never seen so many Spurs fans! It was AWSOME!!! We need to get a bunch of Spurs fans together that live in the Orange County, LA County together and go to a game!!!

[NFGIII]

You rock girl! It was a great game (any Spurs win is!) and sounds like you had a blast. Always great to see your favorite team live. Nothing like it.

We're all waiting for the pics!

[Fernando TD21]

It sounds like everything went perfectly and your dream finally came true. :toast


That's great! If someone deserves it, it's you. Congratulations.

We look forward to see the pics!
I second that.

[romain.star]

i don't know you d228 but i'm more than happy for you. You look like a nice person.
I really hope you'll be able to see more spurs games in the future.
And don't forget to post pictures !!

[BlackSwordsMan]

No mason autograph?!@

[duncan228]

You guys are the best.

The game was great, being able to share it with SpursTalk makes it even sweeter.

Thanks for all the kind words, it feels like ST was with me.

Watching Duncan work alone was so incredible. I hope to see the team again, but I know that was a one time gift.

I promise a ton of pics as soon as I can, here's one to start.

[td4mvp21]

Congrats duncan228, I'm so happy that you got to meet Duncan and witness a good performance by him AND a Spurs win all at your first Spurs game. You deserved it! :)

[tp2021]

228, did you get to exchange any words with him?

[duncan228]

228, did you get to exchange any words with him?

I managed to say "Thank you so much" when he signed the jersey. He didn't say anything, a nod and slight smile. He wasn't thrilled with his work, his shot wasn't falling the way he wanted it to. He messed around with Bowen when he came out, pushed him into the bench. They were smiling and laughing then, but he seemed a little cranky when he sat down when he finished. He left the court not long after, that's when he signed. There wasn't anyone else around besides me and one other woman that was a Staples employee. He signed for her, then me, and he was gone.

I can see the cranky in the pic, and I was really surprised that he signed. We all know he doesn't sign too much and he prefers to sign for kids. He seemed to hesitate before he came over to me, I expected him to wave it off. I'm thrilled he didn't.

He came out for the game in a different mood. He was light, smiling, messing around with the team, put up a few circus shots. And he played great. (At least in my mind).

[polandprzem]

He seemed to hesitate before he came over to me, I expected him to wave it off. I'm thrilled he didn't.


He was afraid of your reaction,

if he would not sign it correctly then ... I don't know

[MoSpur]

Again, so glad to know you got to see him up close and experienced what you did.

:lol

[Slomo]

Congrats! :tu

I'm really happy for you and almost cheered out loud when I read you got Tim's autograph.

I have no problem imagining your facial expression during that 30 minute workout :lol

[The Franchise]

Congratulations!!! For someone who loves the Spurs, and contributes as much as you do to this sight, this should be a wonderful treat.

[birdy219]

Congrats,

Did your heart flutter when you were near him? I was so star struck at my first Spurs game. I took an upside down picture of timmy. :lol I have a manu autographed jersey that has not been worn since that day. :married:
Again, I'm happy for you and I am glad the Spurs showed up last night for the victory. :flag:

[Whisky Dog]

That's really cool that you got to have a personal moment getting the stuff signed. I ran into TD back in 2001 in a grocery store in SA when I was visiting my gf, and it's amazing just how tall those dudes are when you're standing next to them. That had to be a sweet night.

[Summers]

I'm really happy for you D228. :) That's awesome.

Tim Duncan is a sweet heart. I got his autograph back in March 2003 and he is a really humble dude. Then he owned Antoine Walker and the Spurs had their way with the Celts that Sunday evening. It is an honor you got to watch greatness. Cherish that moment.

Congrats '228, getting to see S.A. play live is an amazing experience that I've had the honor of enjoying twice here in D.C. I'm usually lurking and enjoy reading the articles you post and the love you express for Tim and the Spurs through them. I think that you getting in early and Timmy signing an item for you are your deserved cherry on top. Please, post a picture of the autographed item, frame it and cherise it forever. :toast:toast

Side-note: Your experience definitely makes me anxious for next season, when I'll certainly be heading to the game against the Wiz.

Post it. We'll help you out. Unless it's salacious, in which case you just PM me. :D

[J_Paco]

Well, I'm sure most of us think of Tim as this stoic and mild-mannered player. This has almost always been people's criticism of him, that he's a "robot." I think my opinion of him was shattered in that sense a few years ago.

It was about two years ago, I was working over at FedEx Field where the 'Skins play (nothing glamorous, foodservice) and we had this new guy working administration. He was a recent graduate of G.W., funny enough he knew and was friends with Pops, and wanted to break into sports (basketball scouting or coaching). Anyway, we'd constantly talk hoops, life and various other subjects.

One day, the conversation moved to who did I root for in the NBA. I, of course, proudly said San Antonio but expected the usual "their boring'' or "I hate Tim Duncan," but was a little suprised to hear the opposite. He claimed to somehow "know people" from the Spurs P.R. department. Apparently, the P.R. person had told him that Duncan was an extremely passionate player. That during the Mavs-Spurs '06 series, Duncan had angry outbursts about the team's performances and eventual playoff series loss behind closed doors. That he took the series loss possibly harder than anyone else on the team.

True or Untrue?

I think anyone who's observed him long enough knows he's much more passionate than he appears. I don't know if this story is true, but I can certainly see it being so without having my image of him "shattered". He is the team captain and he shoulders all the responsibility for what happens on the court, good or bad.

Duncan is an extremely passionate player, you only have to pay attention to see it.

As far as the Mavs series, Duncan said he took that loss hard. He also said it was one of the best series he'd ever played in.

As far as the "angry outbursts", only someone who was there could confirm it. I wouldn't be surprised, but I would expect any outburts to still be respectful. Duncan's just not nasty.

Duncan has yelled at teammates plenty of times during games. Most recently, we've seen him blast out Bonner. It's Duncan's team and he will, and does, let people know when they mess up.

Duncan is a competitior, he's playing to win. He's emotional, he's passionate, and he's an incredible leader. Nothing you heard surprises me.

Duncan is an extremely passionate player, you only have to pay attention to see it.

As far as the Mavs seriers, Duncan said he took that loss hard. He also said it was one of the best series he'd ever played in.

As far as the "angry outbursts", only someone who was there could confirm it. I wouldn't be surprised, but I would expect any outburts to still be respectful. Duncan's just not nasty.

Duncan has yelled at teammates plenty of times during games. Most recently, we've seen him blast out Bonner. It's Duncan's team and he will, and does, let people know when they mess up.

Duncan is a competitior, he's playing to win. He's emotional, he's passionate, and he's an incredible leader. Nothing you heard surprises me.

I completely agree with you about Tim's competitive nature, leadership and will to win. But, the way he told it sounded like Timmy was on a near Sheed or Garnett-level "rage." The guy claimed Timmy may have thrown objects and gone off (I'm sure at no one in particular).

Side-note: I love when Timmy gets in guys' faces and demandes their best. The sign of a true great one, IMHO.

They let you take pictures? :pctoss

If you mean my profile albums, I have those set on private, it's not the site.

Maybe he did go off. He needed two bags of fluid after game 7, I'm sure that was just the tip of what the series took out of him physically and emotionally. They were the defending Champions, trying to repeat, and he played the season with Planter Fasciitis. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he lost it here or there.

Throwing things? I don't know. But whatever did, or didn't, happen, it stays in the locker room. That's one of the things I admire about this team, they keep any possible dirt behind closed doors. We don't need to know any of it, we need to see the chemistry they project on the floor.

You're right, '228. But, it's interesting to hear about the parts of Timmy (the athlete) we don't get to see. It has helped me notice how vocal he's become, and how he's evolved into the true leader of the team on-court. A part of his game that is severly underrated, IMO.

[Yorae]

hey no need to be sorry about. it's not your fault but our jerk net ad.....
I'll go check it out when I get home....


It's just.....I am not excited to see it.....I'm not....

I agree, watching him grow as a leader has been as incredible as watching his game.

Seriously Chump, I thought of you when I went to buy the camera. I stayed simple and small.

I take the same type of camera Chump took to the Toros game to the Spurs games all of the time and they're cool with it. I've had it checked a couple of times at the doors, but it's within the arena's 3" lens and non-detachable rules. Gets awesome shots from all over the arena.

[duncan228]

The signatures. They're in silver, the jersey looks much better than it photographs.

The names are at the top of the pics, they're hard to spot.

Duncan on the jersey, the banner order is Duncan, Oberto, Elliott.

[Gutter92]

Man, 228, I am so jealous and just cannot wait until April 3rd(me, my brother, and 2 friends are going to our first Spurs game, will only have to skip half the day of school to get there :P). It should be fun.

Thanks for the pics.

It feels pretty good. I've been following Duncan since Wake, it was really nice to finally see him in person.

Wow what a great story! And now its even made it on Spurs.com! How cool! I'm happy for you Duncan228. You deserve it, ever since I joined this forum you have been one of the best and devoted posters on here. And I agree with every word you said, it is amazing to see your team live for the first time in person, I have been to more than a handful of games since 2002, but most recently I took my girlfriend to her first real Spurs game against New Jersey in January and she loved it. If only I was so lucky to get Timmy's autograph! Damn it! lol.
