Another NBA record for Tim Duncan

[lefty]

@AirlessJordan: Tim Duncan is now the ONLY player in NBA history to average 13.0 points and 9.0 rebounds for an entire season at age 38 or older. #Spurs

galileo needs to step his game up

[honestfool84]

Tim Duncan is also the ONLY player in NBA history to have 5 NBA Championships on the same team in 3 different decades, while wearing the number #21.

At this point, Duncan And Kareem are the only two in the discussion for best at age 38/39.

man i just wish his bank account was as luxurious as his nba credentials

Why would you think it's not? He's made plenty of money over his career and as far as I've heard, he hasn't squandered it

[Drachen]

At this point, Duncan And Kareem are the only two in the discussion for best at age 38/39.

What is your criteria? Malone was still doing well at this age

Kareem was better offensively at age 38, but Duncan is a little better defensively than Kareem was at that point.

He also averaged 2 blocks per game....nobody at that age has ever done that either.

[Leetonidas]

I think he also now has the record for most consecutive 20+ PER seasons

ginobili only player with 4 rings and 8 turnovers in a finals clincher

Who comes up with these cheezy facts???

:lmao

[MaineSpursFan]

Tim Duncan is the ONLY player in NBA History to get his World of Warcraft Character to lvl 90 without killing anything.

look it up.

[Kidd K]

How is being the only player to average 13/9 at 38+ a "goofy stat"?

It's weird how NBA fans think basic stats like this are "weird and goofy". They're basically just saying he's one of the most productive big men for his age. That he's doing really well and that it's reflected in his statistical performance.

[BatManu20]

Even though last night's loss to the Pelicans nullified the significance of this play, Timmy's block on Harden was named #1 Defensive Play of the Year.

He was just on the list of top 10 richest NBA players of all time. What are you talking about?

Tim Duncan isn't the only one to have plunged into the depths of Amy though. That's a record he'll never hold.

He's stealing Kool's schtick on how Kirby has more money than Duncan... Kool "figured" that Duncan has lost most of his wealth.

All numbers aside, the most impressive thing about Tim is how he has thrived in multiple eras of basketball, all utilizing a different style..

He was dominant in the pre-rule change, late 90s, he was even more dominant in the 2000s that was still grind-out ball, but that began favoring perimeter players, and he has continued his greatness in the pace and space era, following the weight loss and adjustment to a face-up, jump-shooting, positioning role..

There's no player in the history of the game that can say they adjusted their game at the same level as Duncan has, as many times as Duncan has..

It's funny that he doesn't receive the "competitor" label as much as other NBA Hall of Famers, simply because he doesn't run scream like Garnett, or fabricate a persona like Kobe, or because he isn't a sociopath scumbag like Dad Killer..a guy that loses a bunch of weight, adjusts his style multiple times and accepts any role that he's asked to employ is probably more competitive than anybody the league has ever seen, tbh..

Excellent post. I've been saying it for years: No one has done more to win than him. On top of all the things you listed, let's not forget taking significantly less money twice.

He has his moments when he isn't trolling. Too bad he is trolling 90% of the time.

Malone certainly has the traditional stats compared to duncan because he played 38 mpg.

Just imagine what his numbers would look like if he didn't have a minutes restriction.

[apalisoc_9]

When did Manu get the ultimate competitor label? I hear so many people say that after Jordan, Manu is the most competitive guy ever in the NBA..on what basis? :lol

Manu is an all-time great and the third best Spur of all time, but TD has constantly adjusted his game to the benefit of his team..To compete..

[DMC]

Smartest NBA takes on the forum afaik.

I see. Well it's lame lol.

[Galileo]

Duncan:

* 18 seasons
* 18 seasons team makes playoffs
* 18 seasons team winning 60% of all games in regular season
* 18 seasons team winning record on road
* 18 seasons team 1st or 2nd in division (including ties)

This is the greatest record of all and is unmatched in the history of sport.

I'd probably put Robinson over him. Maybe Gervin too.

That's the first time I've seen a good take from him. He's parroting low IQ mainstream takes with a hint of troll sprinkled in, or just flat out troll posting.

In any case, your thoughts on possible championship this year? Doesn't look too great this time imo. Only good this time is no more Heat to deal with in the Finals, but getting there seems daunting this year.

Best stat that you left out... Tim Duncan has more 50+ wins than 26 NBA franchises.
