Sorry for asking a question like this, i just hope that Duncan can offer a place where all fans can get the latest news about him, because Tony and Manu have one, even Eva.

Tim is reserved and there is a reason why Timmy doesn't pretend to jump over a car or a tub of snakes....

I don't think Tim is into computers or the internet very much. At least, not as much as Tony and Manu.

Both Tony and Manu have interacted with their fans through their websites for years. Manu has even recently said that he doesn't go anywhere without his laptop, and was on Twitter before anybody knew what it was.

Tim is into his own things like video games and paintball, and has never been one to look for the spotlight.

Duncan is smart. He does not want to be in the CIA databases that catalog those sites daily

Well, i don't think the main reason for a NBA player to register a facebook profile is to pretend to jump over a car or a tub of snakes like what Kobe did, what i said is that Duncan has a big amount of fans who come from the rest of US, he can take advantage of facebook to share what he thinks to those who support him for so long like you and me, even one word

And certainly i know Timmy is reserved and a lowkey man, but man, as a fan of him, i just wanna know what would he think after the game he had played

He does have an official website that someone keeps pretty current. His last diary entry, however, is from the 2008 playoffs.

Nowadays, a website like this can not be appreicated

Tp does it for the ego, Manu does it for fun. Timmy neither has fun or an ego.

Duncan has kids. Manu and Tony do not. Once Manu's twins get here you can bet that his facebook/website activity will slow to a crawl, if not end completely.

I'm not sure about that. I think Manu will continue doing it (maybe not as much). He's already said it's a great way to talk and keep up with his family, friends, and fans all over Italy, Argentina, and here. He actually has a personal facebook account too that he really hasn't used much.

It's just not Duncan's style. It's nothing new, he's always preferred to be out of the spotlight when he's off the court. I highly doubt he's going to change his ways because of facebook.

The only time we consistently hear directly from him is interviews during the season.

The Duncan Forum here is kept current, you can always find the latest news on him there.

Duncan is a private guy, being active in public is not his style. IF you really love him, you should have known this and accepted this.

More or less, man. Do we love him because he's a great athlete, or because he has witty rejoinders?

Let Steve Nash or Chris Bosh be charming players... I'll take a winner every time.
