Short and sweet, nice quote from Pop about Duncan.
Spurs' Welcome Wagon (http://www.nba.com/2009/news/features/art_garcia/03/12/odom_suspension.western.insider.20090312/)

Add welcoming committee chairmen to Tim Duncan's long list of duties. Drew Gooden doesn't have to worry about "fitting in" with the Spurs because of the guy he'll be backing up.
"It's very easy for people to fit in and that's because of Timmy," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Every championship team, Timmy has a different group and he's the one who creates the atmosphere where everybody doesn't feel judged, they have an opportunity show what they can do and to blend into the group.
"It's a very easy group to join into because of the personalities of the players."
Gooden hasn't yet played with the Spurs despite signing a week ago. He could make his debut Saturday at Houston.
