Tim Duncan goes back home on NBA special

The San Antonio Spurs' most lethal weapon, Tim Duncan, looks relaxed and happy — yes, you could almost call him Mr. Personality — in an ABC half-hour devoted to him this weekend.
It's likely due to the fact that "NBA Inside Stuff" — on KSAT Sunday at noon — took him back to his home turf of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. There, he visits his school, where he remembers taking every free minute to shoot basketball — during recess and lunchtime — to the chagrin, Duncan laughs, of the kids around him.
"Unfortunately for my classmates," he recalls, when he returned to class, "I didn't smell too safe."
In a preview clip, Duncan, who essentially narrates the piece himself, takes the camera operator through the junglelike surroundings of his school, points out various trees and talks about his growing-up years in the Caribbean.
He's also seen playing a different sport — volleyball — on the beach.
It's a different turn for the veteran "Inside Stuff" magazine, co-hosted by Ahmad Rashad and Summer Sanders, which is taking a more in-depth approach to interview subjects than its previous short-shot format.
New face
KENS will unveil a new weekend sports anchor Sept. 25 — and word is he's so handsome, jaws dropped around the station when he visited.
I haven't seen Bob Ballou myself, but I should get my paws on a photo next week. Viewers can actually look for him this weekend on a KENS sports story or two; however, I'm told he won't be behind the desk yet.
Ballou, a native Texan from outside of Dallas, who last delivered sports in Columbia, Mo., will replace Luke Stuckmeyer. The latter, who also wasn't hard on the eyes, left a couple of weeks back for a sports cable network job in Chicago.
