We can never have too many Matt Bonner threads right? :p: Duncan's response to Matt Bonner's ranking:
“I think it's crap,” Tim Duncan said. “If I wasn't top 10, he shouldn't be 19.”
“They tell me I was 21,” Duncan said. “Right on the cusp.”

19. Matt Bonner, F, San Antonio Spurs
• Age: 30
• On-court accomplishments: 1-time NBA champion
• Alma mater, major, GPA: Florida, business, 3.96
• SAT score: 1350
• Off-court/intellectual interests: “Reading, Scrabble, writing, math games, record collecting, pingpong.”
• What I’m reading now: “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, by Jonathan Safran Foer.”
• If I weren’t a professional athlete, I’d ... “(Be a) college professor.”
• Nerdiest thing about me: “I’m a huge cribbage and corduroy enthusiast, and my favorite show ever is The X-Files.”
• Smartest teammate I’ve had: “Brent Barry or Tim Duncan.”
