Tim Duncan, grumpier with age (http://www.48minutesofhell.com/)
by Jesse Blanchard
48 Minutes of Hell

The wave of milestones keep rolling in, and so far as Tim Duncan is concerned, he’d rather they not be. In the San Antonio Spurs 95-78 victory (http://www.48minutesofhell.com/san-antonio-spurs-95-portland-trail-blazers-78-at-long-last-48-minutes-of-hell) over the Portland Trailblazers the Spurs longtime franchise player played his 1,000th game and took sole possession of 29th place on the NBA all-time scoring list, surpassing Walt Bellamy (http://www.nba.com/statistics/default_all_time_leaders/AllTimeLeadersPTSQuery.html?topic=4&stat=1).

If Duncan had his way he’d rather not have just accomplished either, let alone be reminded.

“I was not aware, I would rather not be told that,” Duncan said after the game. “It just means I’ve been playing for a long time and am getting really, really old. I wish I’d only played 10 games and had 1,000 more ahead of me.”

Speaking of Duncan being "old" look at this NBA promo for the Holidays, and look who they represent as the grandpa with glasses 10 sec in....

All you have to say is, "Hey Tim, would you mind going out and getting us 21 and 11 tonight? Yeah, thanks... oh yeah, a few blocks would be great too, if it's not so much to ask.

I don't know how to post this particular video but here's a link to WOAI's video (http://projectspurs.com/2010-articles/december/duncan-and-pop-joking-around-about-playing-time.html) of the Pop/Duncan "incident." :downspin:

“As the minutes continue to drop and I’m not in the fourth quarter, I’m going to become unbearable on the bench and pretty much annoy him to the point where he has to put me in. That’s my goal.” — Tim Duncan, talking about his decreased playing time

Timmy is always fun to watch.

For example, with the San Antonio Spurs cruising on their way to another blowout victory and a Duncan-less fourth quarter, Duncan took it upon himself to drift on towards the scorer’s table and reinsert himself into the game.

“He put himself in, he ignored me. I told him to sit and he said, ‘to hell with you, I’m playing’,” said San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich. “He’s been hard to coach for a long time and it’s finally starting to slip out bit by bit.”
