“You just bury his tropical ass under the basket, and you turn around and dunk it”
by Andrew A. McNeill

This is about as Hollywood as you’ll ever see Tim Duncan go.

There is a deleted scene in the 2007 movie The Jane Austen Book Club (http://www.amazon.com/Jane-Austen-Book-Club/dp/B000ZS8GW6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1273718994&sr=8-1) where the character Dean Drummond goes on a humorous tirade about Tim Duncan. The fun behind this scene is that the actor who plays Drummond is actually Marc Blucas (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0089456/), one of Duncan’s former teammates at Wake Forest. In fact, Blucas was at San Antonio’s first round home playoff games against the Dallas Mavericks.

(It's a YouTube and it's worth a watch. :lol)

[jaffies]

That's awesome! :lmao

While I am proud to say I've never seen this film before, I also didn't know this guy was Duncan's roommate. This (for me at least) finally solves the inexplicable reason Tim Duncan was at the premiere of 'Meet Dave'

[Juanobili]

ahahaha

"Is there something going on between you and Tim Duncan?"

[carina_gino20]

:lmao This is gold.

:lol

I'm in school's computer room, I'll get to it when I get home.

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

That was great. "Ooh let me dribble between my legs and shoot some fucking jumpshots."








(Secretly, I fucking love it when Timmy acts like a guard, dribbles between his legs, and nails a banker in someone's face.:wow:lol)

"Camaro-driving second-place finisher mother*bleep*"

[DBMethos]

LOL...I've seen Blucas in a lot of stuff before, but never knew he played ball, much less on Timmy's WF team.

[carina_gino20]

The funny thing is that he sounds just like an ST poster. :lol

[NRHector]

It's funny because it pretty accurately (albeit jokingly) describes Tim's decline and could've been a rant pulled directly out of any number of SpursTalk posts.

Blucas, a chatty mix of enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and self-examination, knew he was right for the part as soon as he read the script. Not simply because he empathized with the character, or because he meshed with Emily Blunt, the actress who plays his wife, a high school French teacher and member of the book club.

Rather, Blucas knew he belonged because the bit of dialogue he read at his audition involved Tim Duncan, a former Demon Deacon teammate. The character spouts off regarding San Antonio’s prospects in the NBA finals, predicting a four-game sweep, five games if the Spurs grow overconfident. “It isn’t going to go seven unless Tim Duncan gets hit by an asteroid,” he says.

Blucas laughed when he read the line, and laughs again as he recalls it. “Tim is my best friend, so I called him immediately," he says. "I’m like, ‘You can’t believe this stuff. You’re mentioned in this script. I have to get this job.’”

Mission accomplished. Blucas not only got the part in his 21st film -- the fourth to be released in 2007 following After Sex, Thr3e and The Killing Floor – but convinced writer/director Robin Swicord to film a practical joke aimed at Duncan.

After delivering the line about the asteroid, Blucas, portraying a Spurs fan, inserted dialogue intended for his one-man audience. “I went on about a 2-minute rant where I completely dismantle his game,” Blucas says with relish. His voice takes on a slightly higher, lilting tone: “’Yo, I’m 6-11, but I just want to dribble through my legs and shoot jumpshots like a guard.’”

Later, Duncan came west to play against the L.A. Lakers and dropped by the set to watch the bogus clip. When Blucas’ character began swearing, Duncan, a laconic sort in public, looked questioningly at his friend. The room full of film folks burst into laughter.

“It was the greatest gag ever,” says Blucas. “It was hilarious.” He says the out-take is included on the DVD of the film.

Tim Duncan Goes Hollywood


I wish the battery in my camera phone had some life. Because if it wasn’t all but dead I could snap some photos and reveal a rarely seen side of Tim Duncan during a postgame interview: animated, laughing, engaging in a hilarious back-and-forth.

We are standing in a hallway outside the Spurs locker room, away from the crush of media chronicling another Spurs triumph, and there’s not a hint of calm or deadpan cool in that famously expressionless face.

I suppose Duncan is “up” because I’m not here to talk basketball per se, and because his best friend -- actor Marc Blucas of USA’s “Necessary Roughness” -- is giving him good material.

Blucas left the Atlanta set of his TV show Tuesday morning and flew into San Antonio for Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals wearing a bulky black brace on his left leg. Duncan begins to giggle -- “He’s trying to look like me,” No. 21 says -- because the brace is no Hollywood prop.

While shooting a recent episode that called for him to dunk a basketball, Blucas showed that, at 40-years-old and 6-foot-1, he’s got no hops and tore a knee tendon. Duncan had fun with that, and next thing you know, two Wake Forest teammates from the mid-90s are cutting up like kids in college.

Blucas says Duncan can’t jump over a phone book -- “Not a thick one with Yellow Pages, a thin one” -- and Duncan says “yes, that’s true,” but Blucas can’t jump at all, and it’s no wonder he got hurt.

Did Blucas ever dunk at Wake Forest, I ask. Duncan says “once.” I ask, “when,” and he and Blucas answer in near comedic unison: “Rhode Island!” Must have been some throw-down.

Memories fly. Playful insults, too. They recall a game in which Blucas took an elbow to the face and suffered a concussion. Dazed, Blucas got up, his vision blurring, and approached coach David Odom. Duncan tells the story like a wide-eyed kid describing a teacher slipping on a banana peel, hands moving all over the place: “He says, ‘Coach, don’t take me out but I can’t see.’ Then he runs right back into the game.”

They burst into laughter.

Normally when you see the Spurs on any background screen in any movie, they are the losing team and the main character is cheering for the other squad.
