Article on Spurs/Timmy @ NYT

Pardon if it's been posted already....


Something is wrong when Duncan — a 14-time All-Star and 4-time champion, who missed a fifth ring by the thinnest of margins last spring — is not shown the same respect as other N.B.A. greats. When Duncan (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/duncati01.html) — at 37, still playing at a remarkably high level for a San Antonio team that remains stubbornly among the elite — is not rewarded for all that he has been and still is.

Look at Duncan's numbers since the snub -- he's pissed (notwithstanding the classy comments about spending a weekend with his kids).:ihit

We know what N.B.A. All-Star voting has typically been: a chance for fans to participate in the selection process for a showcase. No registration is required to prove that one knows Kobe Bryant from Krusty the Clown. It’s a popularity contest that cannot be taken seriously.

:lol good stuff

Wow. Read the comments. Not one negative post about Tim at all.

We have been so blessed to have him.

Fuck it.I want Silver to name him as Kobe's replacement.
