[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I have watched Tim Duncan play since I was 7 years old, and he has been my favorite player ever since. I remember when I was 9 and I had to watch game 5 of the NBA Finals at my aunt and uncle's due to the power being out at my parents, the Spurs won this game to win their first ever championship and Tim Duncan was named Finals MVP. I can remember my father saying "Michael Jordan didn't win Finals MVP this quickly" and I knew I was watching a special player and would witness a special career, but I had no idea just how special it'd be. After 5 championships, 3 Finals MVP's, and 2 MVP's, he has had one of the greatest careers in NBA history and there is no doubt he is a legend. But what's most amazing about him is how he was able to conduct himself on and off the court. He was a true example for kids and young players everywhere, I am so thankful to have had Tim Duncan as a role model. He won with grace and lost with class, and he was the truest epitome of sportsmanship. I'm saddened to see this legendary career come to an end, but I am beyond thankful to have witnesses 19 years of greatness. I know he'll never read this, but thank you Tim Duncan! Thank you for blessing basketball fans with amazing performances for 19 incredible years. The sports world will miss you. Your legend will live on forever.

Thanks for everything and more... truly end of an era.

Even better was watching the Spurs win the lottery. I can still hear Russ Granik's voice.

Not only it blows, the fact he's likely going to be in the same HoF class than that clown Kobe is ridiculous.

But perhaps that's how he wanted it, low-key, somebody else getting all the media circus.

I wonder if you're allowed to decline to attend a hall of fame induction? If so, he'll do it. The Kobe slobbering is reason enough to want to avoid it.

[picnroll]

Don't make us go cold turkey TD. At least stay on as a coach.

I like it better that he's going in with Kobe, tbh..it's such a sharp contrast in style, it makes for great comparison and discussion..the biggest attention whore and worst teammate in league history vs. the most humble and unselfish superstar in league history:lol it's a great rivalry, particularly with the fans..

I'm on Twitter checking out comments from other players, but nothing is more annoying than accidentally clicking on a Tweet and seeing the :(but he played for Pop, Pop made him:( comments from the casual fans:lol

So many ignorant people that are either too stupid or weren't NBA fans at the time that missed Duncan's peak..it'll always be overlooked by the non-hardcore fans, because it occurred during the dark days of the NBA(as reflected by the ratings)..the numbers-oriented media(fortunately, most new-media falls in this category) and fans understand his dominance during his peak, but a lot of fans and media believe that Duncan was always the player we saw in the 2011-2014 system..

Come on El, it's over. that rivalry is dead.
Tim and Kobe together makes it a truly great HOF class.
Why do you care if some folks will focus more on Kobe?
The best ceremonies have multiple HOf'ers ..
I thought stockton and David did a much better job in their speeches than jordan, despite the hype.

Yup. Part of the reaso why I stay away from reddit and other sites where casuals collide. It's the same thing with Kawhi..apperently he can only score because the team is too good or something so crony and predictable like playing with superstart 38 year olds :lol

[skulls138]

I feel like the game of basketball is leaving. :(

Im sad but its only because I had it so good for so long. Thank you Timmy, may your retirement continue to be as satisfying as your playing days were. :king <--- Tim Duncan

Because we know one of the two is all about him and the hype, and media is quick to knobslob over that, especially the old media types.

I'm not saying Kobe doesn't deserve his induction or that he shouldn't do his media circus thing.

All I'm saying is that Tim (and perhaps Manu) deserve their moment in the spotlight on their own, even if they generally shun that.

But perhaps Harlem is right, and the big contrast will make for a bigger appreciation.

[HarlemHeat37]

I was responding to ElNono mentioning Kobe, relax, bro..

If you picking a team, who else would you want to start with but TD?
He should be the new logo.
GOAT

[Keepin' it real]

Tengo sadness, mucho sadness.

[Ice009]

Don't make us go cold turkey TD. At least stay on as a coach.

And the Goldenstate Warriors are in talks to sign Tim Duncan as an assistant coach ;). Wouldn't surprise me if they contacted him.

Dick Jefferson talking about Timmy on Sportscenter... Lol.

I'm a random 30yrs old Italian Guy, brought to NBA thanks to Mr Fundamental...I was inspired from Timmy my whole life, i started playing bball @ 11yo watching this big man...I feel i'm gonna broke few tears for all the memories. Thanks you so much, my Hero.

Simply Legend

Ciao Tim. Grazie.

The original Big 3 has been dismantled.
I guess the new Big 3 is Kawhi, Aldridge, and Pau.

[crc21209]

Well damn....I don't want to believe it....but we all knew it was coming at some point. I was 9 years old when he was drafted...I'm 28 now. I literally grew up watching this guy bring greatness not only to San Antonio...but South Texas (I'm from Del Rio). My favorite # growing up was #21 and I wore my Duncan jersey to school proudly (Especially during Playoff time). I got picked on by non-Spurs fans when they lost, and win or lose I wore that jersey with pride, because I knew as long as we had #21 on the team, we had a chance...we had hope. It's truly been a damn honor watching you grace the court Timmy...thank you for always giving this team, this city your all!

[eric365]

In fact he was bored of all his rivals retiring this year : Kobe, Garnett, Joey Crawford :lol

[Mal]

"If you combined the career plus-minus totals of Ray Allen (+3,551), Dwyane Wade (+2,941), and Kevin Durant (+1,964), it would still fall short of Tim Duncan's ... by about 500 points."

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Enjoy your retirement Timmy. The Spurs will never be the same without you.

[lmbebo]

Sad to see him go, Always felt he could play on forever. Always a steady force, but you could see the screws coming off the wagon this past year offensively and then physically he just failed in mid january....

Remember him coming into the league. Still remember him against the Knicks in 99 Finals. Soo many great memories. I hope he finds as much success in retirement that he found during his playing career.

KD put Tim into Retirement!

[hitmanyr2k]

Sad fuckin day. When I first saw TD play at Wake Forest I knew he was going to be something special. I hope he doesn't just fade like David Robinson. Come back as a coach or something.

[DAF86]

:depressed

Would have selfishly preferred one more season to be more prepared and trully enjoy Tim's last season, knowing it would be the last.

[Keepin' it real]

Cowherd is the most talented sportstalk host today, but he's a total douche for not talking about Tim Duncan. It's not like he avoided basketball discussion. He talked (AGAIN) about KD to GSW and even talked about the 6ers/Lakers summer league game. But no mention of Tim Duncan's retirement announcement.

Wow, what a poor job by Cowherd.

[J_Paco]

Thank you for all the great memories and championships, Timmy. Enjoy life, your children and the car shop. They'll never be a NBA athlete like you ever to touch the court, again. You aren't just the greatest power forward ever, or a top 10 all-time great but you are in the elite class of Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, and Johnson.

would be awesome if his body started feeling better and he returned mid season for one last playoff run.

i know it's probably too much to ask for though.

[Brazil]

On a side note, I'm happy for him. It sucks for the fans but dude has already a broken knee no need to get the other one blown up too. Tim is old for basketball but not for life, retiring too late would have meant a very painful post basketball. He is healthy, played 19 years, did his best, left with no regret... :tu

[Duncanforthree]

Time to start saving money for the jersey retirement night.

Those tickets are NOT going to be cheap.

Might be the last time anyone sees him on the court again.

This is really a bittersweet day. Although I'm depressed about Timmy retiring, I'm also filled with joy knowing I got to follow a career of a legend like no other.

I really don't think it's going to hit me until opening night arrives and he is not in the starting line-up.

I really want to be at ATT the night the Spurs retire #21.

[NicolasBatum]

No need to get up at 4 am for a single regular season game from now...

Special kind of player, great leader, teammate, person, amazing fundamentals, and he knew how to make his teammates better and learn how to win. A true champ! will be missed.

Yeah, I saw it was a quick part of his news headlines. I know he's a total ratings whore so by default he's always neglected to mention the Spurs, but wow, just wow, to not dedicate AT LEAST an entire segment to Timmy today is ludicrous. Heck, even ESPN was talking about Timmy all morning. You know that had to hurt them.

But I won't boycott the Herd because he does talk better than other hosts, but I'll mosdef be pissed for awhile.

I haven't really seen anybody discussing his place on the all-time list on Twitter(not referring to irrelevant fans, but rather known and respectable media/players)..

It has mostly been discussing the post-Jordan rankings and where Duncan ranks among players in his generation..it has pretty much all been Duncan<Lebron, but > Kobe and Shaq..

Sad to see him go. But if he still has lingering injuries, it's the right move. He was playing great for most of last season.

Hope the Spurs reward him with a VP job with a big salary because he played well below market average for many years.

[itzsoweezee]

I'm sad he won't get a farewell tour. The GOAT. This franchise will never be the same.

[Taking it to the Hole]

I still can't believe this is happening. I knew that one day Tim would retire and although many of us knew that he would probably retire, it still feels sudden and unexpected. Almost like someone is playing a cruel practical joke. I am just glad he did it today and not tomorrow because then I would never be able to enjoy my birthday ever again!:depressed

I'm now so thankful I went on vacation to see see a Spurs game in Denver this past season. I got to be at the last game that Timmy scored 20 points.

[carina_gino20]

Damn. What a sad day. What an incredible career. It's going to be weird without him on court.

I'll never forget going to the Salt Lake Summer League and watching Tim Duncan play his first summer league game as a Spur agains the Utah Jazz. A lot of media have misrepresented that game over the years saying that Tim flopped. He scored like 20 points and had like 10 rebounds, but he did foul out. That said, it was easy to see that he was going to be special if you looked at his game and not the scoreboard. And as good as he looked in that game, I had no idea how great he would become.

Hope they retire his jersey at a big nationally televised game (that the Spurs win, btw) so the world can appreciate Tim once more.

Knowing Tim, if it were up to him he'd have them hang up the jersey in the rafters tomorrow and be done with it, ceremonies be damned.

Man these videos. That portion with Tim clutching the first championship trophy and then smiling at the end, man just make me happy and sad.

[Taking it to the Hole]

Watching Game 5 against the Knicks right now is making me just realize how much Duncan accomplished in his career. Seeing him in his second year just dominate in the Finals for his first time just makes your realize just how special players like him are. It just makes me sad but proud that this man, this player was in our city and our team for as many years as he gave us. There will never be another Tim Duncan. He brought our franchise from contenders to a powerhouse. He did that and without him, I shudder to think what our city and our franchise would be today.

[wildbill2u]

Watching the replay of the 99 Championship on NBA TV and Sean, Pop, Robinson, and especially Timmy all look so young.

TD in a memorable scoring duel with Latrell Sprewell.

So many years, so many memories. Thanks TD.

[bklynspursfan]

I teared up, idc. Time to stock up on more TD memorabilia. Freaking Legend and just an awesome person

How fast, fluid, agile he was.. The lift on his shots.. Man, truly amazing. I blame Shaq for robbing Tim of a few more super years of his prime. Tim started putting on weight to be able to defend Shaq and some of the other bigs in the middle and that probably wrecked his knees and body to support that extra weight. There was really no surprise that once he started to lose weight and slim up that he had a resurgence.

[poeticism707]

Congrats on a Top 5 all time career TD.

The consummate professional. There will never be like Timmy. Thank you for the memories. You had me rooting for the Spurs in the middle of laker fans.

Will teams give Manu the farewell tribute? Just to have a reason to include Timmy in it??

[wildbill2u]

RE 99 game: I had forgotten that there was only one score in the last 2 minutes and that was a miracle 3 by Avery Johnson that put us up by one. Neither team could score again. and we win by one. Our first championship and a long time coming. Thank you TD.

this is sad day for basketball

[FromWayDowntown]

Amazing how NBA ready he was when he came out of college and considering he hadn't played ball his whole life. And not just ready but dominant.

Still among the most dizzying accomplishments of Tim's career is the fact that was deservedly First Team All-NBA as a rookie, in a league with Malone, Barkley, Shaq, Robinson, Ewing, Olajuwon, Webber, Mutombo, Mourning, and a few others were all playing at high levels.

I don't know that any rookie since has made even Third Team All-NBA.
