[alchemist]

[TIMMYD!]

He worked hard and deserved it. Here's to Tim :toast

[kbrury]

IDK if it was the weight loss or whatever but Duncan is playing out of his mind.

[MaNu4Tres]

But isn't Duncan old and done?

[crc21209]

Hell yeah way to go TD! :tu

[Quiet Strength]

I'm happy for timmy.. he deserves it :toast

[HarlemHeat37]

Good for "The Big Serviceable", he deserved it..

[EmptyMan]

I think Galileo has done this before, but where is TD projected to end up on the All-Time scoring list?

[jdev82]

hes cracking open that bubbly to commemorate this joyous occasion as we speak.

[Galileo]

I think Galileo has done this before, but where is TD projected to end up on the All-Time scoring list?

Duncan is 10th all time in career playoff scoring.

He could move up into the top 5 before he is done.

[Galileo]

Duncan is 2nd in the NBA in PER at a very servicable 28.

[greyforest]

duncan's game is based on athletics, not finesse! he's old and therefore done.

[quentin_compson]

Great job, Timmy! :toast

I'm especially thrilled with his free throw shooting these days. He barely missed the 80% mark in 01/02, maybe he can crack it this season.

[taps]

Good for "The Big Serviceable", he deserved it..

I think you mean, "The Big Sevicable." :down:

[TIMMYD!]

Duncan is 2nd in the NBA in PER at a very servicable 28.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2010_leaders.html

He's missing on the rebounds per game category and Blair is missing on the FG% but that might be because he hasn't attempted enough.

[exstatic]

Just a serviceable big doing what serviceable bigs do.

[angelbelow]

Good Shit! i wonder if theres a stat for how many of these player of the week awards hes won.

[TIMMYD!]

Good Shit! i wonder if theres a stat for how many of these player of the week awards hes won.

Not sure but he has at least one every year, so I'd say about 30 in total.

[duncan228]

Good Shit! i wonder if theres a stat for how many of these player of the week awards hes won.

He had 18 as of the 06-07 season. I need to go back over the last couple of years to add any others. Plus this one today.

[duncan228]

I think that might be it: 19 Player of the Week.

4 Player of the Month.

I don't have the doc I want, it's in my old laptop. But that's the number I get with a quick check.

Athletics?

[duncan228]

Duncan is about MVPs, as spurs fans we shouldn't of even made this thread

Duncan is all about Championships, not individual awards.

As a fan, I'm proud of all his accomplishments, individual and team.

[TDMVPDPOY]

dpoy cmon!!! he has it in his sights

[Sigz]

The credit goes to his knees.

[Killakobe81]

Duncan is still best big in the NBA and yes he is a "center" ...who can play PF as well ...congrats!

Tim Duncan is truly a modern day hero. Everyone who ever knows me even halfway intimately, will know about the great man that is Timmy. All about being strong, and being a leader and not a follower. Never giving up. It's all been said a million times, but it still won't ever be enough. There will only be one Tim Duncan.

Not a lot of centers who can cross over between their legs, or go behind their back with the dribble. Leave the man be. If he wants to be a PF, he's a PF.

"Duncan passed Terry Cummings (19,460) for 39th on the NBA's all-time scoring list."

1) Nice. I hope Duncan has an 18 year career too.

2) According to T.C.'s wikip entry, in his rookie year, Cummings averaged 23.7 points and 10.4 rebounds, which is not exactly how I remembered him. Anyone recall a young, promising T.C., bursting with earnest potential?

3) T.C. has a website (http://www.terrycummings.com/).

Cummings was the real deal. He scored over 20 ppg for nine of his first ten years, and did the 20/10 for a season twice. If he were in today's game, he'd have the full boat $100M plus contract.

He was never the same scorer after he hurt his knee in 92-93, though, although his rebounding remained stout.

[Blackjack]

^ ^ What he lost in ability/explosiveness after the injury, he sure as hell made up for in his blackhole-ness; who the hell was that Dave guy trying to steal touches, anyway?

[Rapper]

Great news
