So long, Legend. :depressed

So it really is the end, boo

[BatManu20]

Terribly sad obviously. But it was time...


Thank you Timmy for the last 19 years and for being the face of the greatest organization in sports. You've changed the Spurs organization forever, and we're forever grateful for that. You embodied what it meant to be a selfless leader and a consummate professional, and I'm looking forward to seeing your statue go up this Fall. Enjoy your retirement Legend, you deserve it. Cheers.

Thanks Timmy for your contribution to the Spurs.

[K...]

He did it with a pre written press release (look at the byline which lists July xx, 2016)

I assume he'll speak eventually but this is about as low key as possible

My idol... :cry Thank you Timmy for all the memories!

[DPG21920]

Typical Tim way to go out. He's a thinker and took his time and really thought about what this might mean. Sounds like he knew he could no longer contribute like he wanted to and I"m happy for him.

Thanks for being pretty much the team that I have loved since I really got into basketball.

Thanks for everything, Timmy D. It was an honor and a privilege to watch the greatest power forward ever play the game for nearly two decades. You are and will always be the greatest Spur ever.

Been an amazing, amazing ride. Wish it wasn't over, but we were lucky to have him as long as we did.

Had to happen eventually. I was hoping it would be when he was 80. You're the best Tim.

[RGMCSE]

I was a teenager watching Tim bring our first chip. Now I have teenagers who enjoyed Father's Day with me in 2014. It's so weird. I've never shared the same idol spanning decades with someone. But my kids understand Tim's greatness. Thanks Timmy Duncan!!

[DPG21920]

"Nineteen seasons. Five rings. One team."

I know I may be biased and these things can be argued, but I honestly think Tim Duncan is the greatest franchise player of all time in any sport all things considered.

[NameLess Scrub]

Now.. about that trip to Springfield on 2020.

[txstr1986]

I never thought that an athlete's retirement could actually make me feel this sad. Thanks for 19 amazing seasons, Timmy!

[TDomination]

This is so tough man. My favorite player.

I was 12 when he started playing for the Spurs. I've graduated HS, College, gotten married, and have kids all during Tim Duncans tenure. This is going to feel really weird seeing the Spurs without him.

I hate to see him go but I feel lucky for him to have played on the team that I root for. This era will never be forgotten. 1997-2016: THE TIM DUNCAN ERA

[jiggy_55]

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING TIM :cry

The Tim Duncan era was amazing! Spurs nation is truly lucky to have him his whole career and experience the best team and organization in all of sports. Looking forward to the hall of fame speech.

[SPURt]

So this is it. What a ride my friends.... Timmy D is the reason cause i started watching bball, he's my idol and will be forever.

Agreed. I was 16 when he was drafted. The Spurs have had either D-Rob and/or Timmy on their team since I was 8 years old. It fucking sucks they're now both gone.

[Dex]

Fuck....even with all the signs pointing to this, I'm still fucking bummed out.

I really thought he'd be back for one more.

Enjoy retirement, Timmy. Thanks for the 19 seasons. Amazing career....

Thank you.

[Nathan89]

It had been fun watching the journey of a top 5 all time player. I'd have a hard time picking anyone to build around over Tim. Such a leader. Always waiting for his teammates following games is a smaller detail that made me like him the most. I hope he knows how much we appreciate everything that he's done for the spurs. I hope he doesn't completely disappear.

[BatManu20]

Thank you.
timvp has spoken :wow

[George Gervin's Afro]

What ride Tim!!! Thanks for the celebration of the last 19 years!!!

[ezau]

:(

[MilesTeg]

Remember that? A few years ago it looked like all three of Tim, Manu and Pop were about to leave any time. We would be left with an aging Tony and some role players. Since then Kawhi happened, we got Aldridge, Pop decided to stay, and Manu is giving us one more year. I thought I would be devastated, but I'm just thankful. He not only made this franchise, but he left it in a great state.

[-21-]

Thank you.

It still hurts. For real. :cry

[timvp]

No quotes from Duncan in the press release and he won't attend his own retirement news conference. Classic Tim :lol

The day the music died.

[dav4463]

Kobe got a farewell tour and a gifted spot on the All Star team.

Timmy left without a good bye.

Kinda fits doesn't it?

[Ice009]

This is like a crushing loss. I always thought that he would change his mind and come back for one more run. I guess that good knee is shot, too.

[bic50]

Thanks Tim. Goat PF. Going to be really odd not seeing #21 out there next season :depressed.

[timtonymanu]

Ugh post Duncan Spurs era. At least we got Kawhi Leonard, but ugh Softdridge :pctoss

[resistanze]

Favorite player of all-time, only NBA jersey I actually own. He will be missed.

[RD2191]

GOAT of his generation. He'd have 10 rings if he chased them like today's so called "stars".

Thanks Tim. Goat PF. Going to be really odd not seeing #21 out there next season :depressed.

Well, it'll be up there instead of out there before too long.

[DBMethos]

The best. I'll continue to support the Spurs, but it won't ever be the same.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Damn. Hopefully he makes a ton of appearances at the home games, this sucks.

[cutewizard]

threeeeeeeadddd on firrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

thread on fire!

[cutewizard]

Robinson to Duncan to Leonard and then possibly Murray?????

[Rummpd]

He was the man dominating with intelligence as much as under-rated physical skills. Perhaps the best shot-blocker ever in getting possessions among other great skills.

[BSfromTX]

Great player, great person. Will ALWAYS remember that day we drew that ping pong ball, and still had no idea it was going to be as good as it was. Thanks Timmay

Thank you does not do justice to what the city, franchise, and fanbase owe to Timmy. This is tough.. I've literally grown up watching TD play - I was 12 when we drafted him and have been a die hard fan ever since, all thanks to him.

Cheers to the Greatest Power Forward of all Time; the Spurs are the greatest organization in all of sports thanks to you being the foundation!

The best. I'll continue to support the Spurs, but it won't ever be the same.

[Killakobe81]

Hey, I will never be a SPur fan but today ...
I salute Tim.
Best big overall since Kareem.
Hakeem and shaq maybe even Robinson had better "primes"
None were more consistent and clutch than Tim.
Quiet but fiery leader.

I said this many times downstairs but back in 1999 I was telling ANYONE who would listen I would trade Shaq form him straight up. Everyone in L.A. said I was crazy ... but I knew his game would age better than O'neal.
Great player ...props:toast

[Darius Bieber]

The Spurs next year will just look off to me..

[FromWayDowntown]

Though he'll likely never read it, Tim has my heartfelt thanks for his nineteen years of absolute greatness and unparalleled leadership.

Spurs culture exists as much because of Tim as anything (no slight to Pop) and that culture should sustain fans for a while.

Don't sit around asking when the Spurs will find a Duncan replacement, though. They'll never find a Duncan replacement. Nobody will for a very long time because guys like that are, by definition, not replaceable.

We've been blessed to watch and root for one of the top 10 players in the history of the game; a man who earned the genuine respect of all of his peers and many who played before him. He did it with a quiet dignity and sportsmanship that few of his actual peers in accomplishment have ever mustered. No controversies, no embarrassments, no strife, and no selfishness.

He is a standard-bearer for the quality of an NBA career, but he is THE standard bearer for the quality of a star teammate.

It's a sad day for us and for the NBA as a whole, but it's been an absolute thrill to have a seat for the ride over the last 19 years.

[mudyez]

Goodbye!

Thank you for everything!

You are the best and will ever be!

[Horse]

Timmy is the man! Can one of you faggots suck him off and make him stay another year

[Proxy]

Thank you TD, for being a role model, on top of one of the GOATs

Seriously lucky of us to have gotten to watch his entire career

[james evans]

It was really time for him to go. He gave it his all in the final game. It's just sad that his coach has let him down in so many series and relied on him at 40 to do too much.

[horsielove]

Thank you Timmy. :depressed

[sasaint]

The Tim Duncan era was amazing! Spurs nation is truly lucky to have him his whole career and experience the best team and organization in all of sports. Looking forward to the hall of fame speech.

Has anybody ever mailed in a HOF induction speech?

[Texas_Ranger]

Thanx for everything Tim.

[coachmac87]

Even though we all had an idea today was going to come it still hurts...#21 has meant so much to me throughout my life. I've literally been watching him since I was 10yrs old and my love of the game is solely because of him. #21 was truly a one of a kind player. He holds records that will never be broken and NEVER have any incidents off the court. The perfect athlete and role model. He sacrificed and did things not many athletes have done in order to allow the franchise and other teammates thrive. Whatever is best for the team. The Spurs organization is considered one of the best if not the best organizations in the nation if not the world..it's because of #21. He created the legacy and brought 5 banners to a small market and contended EVERY year he laced them up..There's nobody better than him in my eyes. Goodbye #21 the city of San Antonio will always love you.

One thing I always tell people about Tim is that he's one of the most clutch big men of all time. Most of them were chokers with the game on the line.

Not Shaq, Not Hakeem, Not D-Rob, Not Karl Malone, none of them were great in crunch time. I'd be interested to hear other people's thoughts on big men that were clutch.

I wont say that Hakeem was not clutch.
But he definitely was more clutch than Shaq/drob/Malone.
duncan wasnt even a 3 point shooter but could hit them in the clutch.
Or when he sucked at FT's he (unlike shaq) made them when they counted ....because shaq played hot potato with it late in games.

Without Tim, we are the OKC Thunder. We lose all of our own FAs and couldn't attract a soul. We are blessed in this city. Should be a lot of fun watching all the videos and tributes to come.

Thank you Tim. I have been a Spurs fan for 31 years and these were the 19 best by far. It's unbelievable rooting for a team that has a real shot at a title every single year for 19 years. I can't imagine that ever happening in the NBA again. Fifty wins every year except in 1999 when the team won at a 61 win pace. I know it has to kill Tim to walk away from the game that he worked at like no other and I hope he is involved in the league (and especially the Spurs) somehow in the future. Godspeed Tim, you're the greatest. :toast

NBA.com can't even dedicate 1 of 6 photo spots to one of the Goats retiring. I'd instantly fire some people if I was in charge.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Damn lump in my throat, trying to get some work done but all I want to do is read articles and watch videos of the GOAT. Having him one more season would have truly been a value, not because of his play, as it's evident that has taken a sharp decline, but because of his on-court leadership.

[Killakobe81]

Boss status.
One did it quietly the other arrogant.
But few did it better.

end of an era ...

[Killakobe81]

Tim was like the WIRE.
It was tactical, at times methodical.
YOu had to pay attention to get his greatness.
some of it went over the common fan's heads.
But the true hoopers we all know how great he was.
HE didnt have the flashy moves of Hakeem or personality of Shaq.
He had that bank shot, the flip shots the positional blocks not the Dwight howard volley ball spikes.

Best career for a big since Kareem.

Its sad, but at the same time he gave his all to the game, after 2014 those 2 seasons were bonus tracks, we are spoiled fans and still have a competitive team no stinky rebuilding.
Only the best for you Tim!
Thanks for all those years and memories!

[DJR210]

Thank you Tim..

Tim has been there since my 8th grade year in middle school.. Fucking long ass time.. Too bad we couldnt send him off like David.

I will drink several Karbach Rodeo Clowns in your honor today Tim :worthy:

[RodNIc91]

I am truly jealous of everyone who has had the privilige of watching his career from end to end!

Thanks for an amazing ride #21: Timmy GOAT Duncan. I did not become a spurs fan because of you but man did you win over me. Your teachings on and off the court have trascended my life: your heart, passion for the game, unselfishness, leadership, intelligence, sportsmanship and whatnot other qualities most athletes will never have. As someone here said, you were truly THE whole package. Spurs fans will miss you and it really pains me not being able to watch you anymore.

. Happy retirement! Thanks for the memories; thanks for Game 6 in 2013; thanks for Game 7 in 2013; thanks for Game 6 WCF in 2014; thanks for 2014. Thank you for everything!

The city of San Antonio has to announce an official public holiday honouring Tim. July 11, every single year.

[keeferob25]

Top 5

Hasn't been uttered ONCE in the media...they're scared to. Everyone runs happily to greatest PF and some even questioned if he's top TEN! Absolutely crazy! But then again, that's how its always been. Salute to a Top 5 GOAT and the greatest franchise player (not just spurs) of all time!

[clambake]

class act, pure champion.

the nba lost most of its class today.

[davidbowie]

i woke up. saw the news on my phone and cried for like 10 mins.

tim was my only hero. peace out to the motherfukin greatest

[Kikoluna]

Sad day I tell you. I guess the wheels finally fell off. It was a beautiful era. My favorite player of all time , and in my view, the greatest ever to play. He is a true role model. Never hit his chest after a layup or chewed a mouthpiece as a symbol of arrogance. His consistency, humility and greatness will be immortal.

[kobyz]

It's not winning 5 titles, it's winning 5 titles with the most cursed and naive team in sport history, that what really show how great he was, but it also put me in big feeling of sorrow and missing that hard for me to carry on with...

[el contusione]

Thank you TIMMMYYYY :cry

:worthy: TIM DUNCAN

[Perry Mason]

Paraphrasing a great ESPN comment: "Tim was more than a basketball player. Tim taught me to always persevere, to pursue excellence without flash, and to put others before myself."

Some will say that Tim was defeated, finally, by Father Time. Those of us who watched Tim will know that he is Father Time. But even Mr. Time needs to move on when his work is done.

Thank you Tim for being the fundamental part of the Spurs and the City of San Antonio. I salute you.

[webshad]

Thank you Mr. Duncan for all the great memories.

Greatest PF!

Enjoy life now.

This sucks

Spurs era without Duncan starts next season. Sigh

[houston spurs fan]

Never been so emotional about a guy retiring. It's odd, I know it's because there are so many memories, I've had. I grew up watching Tim play, just so many emotional memories. As Bruce said sometimes all you can say is thank you. Thank you TD, you are the Spurs and always will be.

[FaM0us Skins]

Dirk Nowitzki to ESPN on Timmy: "He was always about winning, never about making a brand out of himself. That's what I appreciated the most"

[DMX7]

He deserves to go out on his terms. Thank you, Tim Duncan!!!

[webshad]

Man ever since I installed that NBA app on my phone this summer, I keep on getting bad news.

Durant to GSW while I was gassing my car.

Now I get an alert Duncan announces retirement while I was at work.

That NBA app! ARG!

Dirk Nowitzki to ESPN on Timmy: "He was always about winning, never about making a brand out of himself. That's what I appreciated the most"

Back in the day I couldn't stand that guy, but later one I found that Dirk is a really cool dude.

Sad day. Spent the majority of my life watching and following the guy.

Here's to you, Tim :toast

[DMX7]

Is Tim even going to do a press conference? So fitting if he doesn't. My hero. I love him for it!

[DMC]

Another SI mag for my collection no doubt. Enjoy retirement, for the few months you experience it.

[daslicer]

It's funny I'm not even sad about him retiring despite being my favorite player of all time. I guess it won't set in for me that he's retired until I watch a full season without seeing him play.

[SPURt]

These stats being dug up are starting to show Tim is easily top 5. It's insane someone could be so dominant in the modern era with such a dim spotlight.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bruce Bowen piece on Sportscenter right now. Manu also said he knew it was coming..... He probably told everyone this was it tbh :depressed

Top three all time, tbh. Can't wait to see him coaching.

I can only echo the sentiments shared by most here ...

Tim Duncan is/was one of the greatest players of all time, but him being such a quiet yet great leader and (as far as we can tell from the outside) an amazing teammate and truly special role model is what I will remember at least as fondly as his game.

Thanks, TD, long may you run! :toast

[TDomination]

I'm sure Vanessa Macias will be happy and same with his children. He'll get to be with them A LOT more now. And for that, i'm happy for them.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I don't think any of us can fully thank Tim for everything he did for the Spurs. A true fucking legend and the greatest PF of all time. :toast

The Spurs need to give Timmy a coaching position (if he wants it).

Thanks to the greatest PF of all time, Tim Duncan.

As much as I prepared for this for a couple of years now it hurts. Numbing. Being a native San Antonian and following the Spurs since I was a kid with Gervin, what he did to elevate this franchise is immeasurable beyond any other Spur ever. SA better throw a big celebration for him!
