Interviewer - "are you gonna stay retired"

"I stopped enjoying it at times"
"It wasn't fun anymore"

Timmy: "As of right now, yea, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stay retired." And added, "I can probably still play."
Do I sense a comeback? :stirpot:
BatManu20
07-13-2016, 12:27 PM
Also said he decided to stop playing because "I started not enjoying myself as much; it wasn't fun at times. When it's not fun anymore, I'm done."
Understandable tbh. When you're used to being so dominant, and you're relegated to being a shell of yourself who's "just" a reliable role-player now, it probably takes a lot of fun out of it, tbh.
I still think he's downplaying the severity of his knee issues though.

It's probably both. How fun is it to play when you're in pain and when you can't make easy shots due to your injuries? Sure hope it's something like that. Would sort of taint him for me if he was faking the excitement he showed for his teammates.

No. Barkley mentioned this on TNT and Shaq agreed. When you're a GREAT player and you can't dominate like you used to anymore, then you kind of stop enjoying it.

Duncan "it never was a big deal for me when someone was making more money than me" "I took less money so that we could stay competitive"
Interviewer: "when you said that 'we'll do it this time' in the 2014 finals, i knew the spurs were going to win this year, i could see your confidence." and he asks duncan something about how people don't see him as some crazy competitive guy.
Duncan: "i'm not a yeller, a screamer, a jumper, a pusher, to teammates or opponents but i've been competitive from day one, i sometimes need to remind myself to let my kid win one because my competitive spirit kicks in"
i love how he mentioned letting his children win when they play together. you know timmy will love being with his children now that he's retired

I can possibly see a guest appearance on some HEB spots - except he would likely be concerned that he was stealing the spotlight from current players. But I would be shocked to see him doing any studio work for TNT or any other network for that matter. He has been so reclusive...

I held off tears until now. I knew hearing from Timmy would be the thing to break me. I'm a woman so I'm allowed to be emotional.
He sounds so at peace with no regrets and a look forward to the next chapter. You can't ask for more than that.
Thanks for everything Timmy. Enjoy your retirement GOAT. :toast

He is such an ISLAND guy. Loved how he said he never knew the salaries so it didn't matter who was making what (in regard to the Splitter example) and didn't affect how he got along with teammates. Loved that he was doing what he wanted to do and all the other stuff (money) just came along with it and the anonymous contributions. Just a good guy - the type you hope your daughter will marry.

I saw the interview but can somebody post it up again? A friend of mine would like to hear it.
Interview is alright, but too much butt kissing questions..."How does it feel to be totally awesome?" I'd love to hear him interviewed by a Dan Patrick or someone like that who would ask probing questions. I thought Tim was pretty talkative, though, and shared some insights instead of sucking up the butt kissing.

It's probably both. How fun is it to play when you're in pain and when you can't make easy shots due to your injuries? Sure hope it's something like that. Would sort of taint him for me if he was faking the excitement he showed for his teammates.
Pretty sure he meant it wasn't fun for him, meaning the personal enjoyment out of his own play, not his teammates or their successes. That last half of the season and postseason was probably really difficult with his knees literally falling apart. For a guy that was used to playing at high or reasonable high level to be consistently outplayed by lesser talents nightly, while dragging around (while in possible pain) two bad knees, I could see how the fun and enjoyment was gone.

Interviewer - "are you gonna stay retired"
TD - "I'm pretty sure I'm going to stay retired" "I can probably still play"
"I stopped enjoying it at times"
"It wasn't fun anymore"
WOW
I wonder if those early playoff exits the last 2 years contributed to that.

Both Duncan and Kobe can still play in the NBA next season, they have it in them. I don't know about Kobe, but this confirms my take that Duncan is retiring because it's not fun for him anymore. Which sucks for the fans, because he just confirmed he can still play another season. He's just sick of the NBA grind and wants to just enjoy his life.

I don't think he could tbh I just think he didn't want to mention how much his knees bothered him. I remember during the interview when his friend starting talking about his great Finals performances in '99 and '03 Tim then laughed and said something like this "Those were the good old days when I had good knees. When the knees were working."

He looked fine in his final game vs OKC. Of course you could have a point there, Tim might not want to mention his knees as the reason but he looked ok vs OKC. Of course having the knee issue flare up every now and than could have taken it's toll, but he can still play in the NBA I think next season if he really wanted to make a comeback after the all-star break. probably not happening though, get used to Spurs basketball without #21 on the roster.

This makes me think KD going to GSW played a factor IMO. If Spurs were able to land KD I think he comes back. I honestly don't blame him if that's the case. Duncan was ineffective going up against the great teams in the West OKC/GSW. He'd pretty much just be a regular season body but when it comes down to post season or match ups I dunno where Duncan fits. I've heard Tim say it himself playing in the playoffs and contend made the regular season grind worth it..with that being a cloudy subject maybe just took everything out if it for him

Idk, he's such a competitor I find it hard to believe the Durant move influenced his decision to do what he loves (d) to do

Timmy: "As of right now, yea, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stay retired." And added, "I can probably still play."
Do I sense a comeback? :stirpot:
That translates to I'm coming back in March or April
I couldn't watch all of it. The bitch kept butting in and his friend talked too much. I watched about 25% of it. Not a good interview. It's not like Tim said something you didn't know. Get over it.

Did you know he doesn't have an accent because his parents wanted him to speak "proper" english?
Oh yeah?:lol
Dumbass
Of course. He didn't say anything we didn't already know:
"I don't care"
"I didn't know people thought of me that way"
"It's been an unbelievable journey"
etc..
He didn't say
"When Pop sat me in the crucial minutes of game 6 he lost me"
"I wish David would leave me alone"
"Shut up Vanessa, it's not your home"
"Shut the fucking dog up"
"Stop talking about yourself, asshole"
"No I won't live in San Antonio, I fucking hate that place"
"Tony Parker can suck my balls"
"Steve didn't say I was a better player than Mike"
"Tiago Spitter is a scrub"
"Manu cost us our season in 2006"
"Manu cost us our season in 2013"
etc...
Call me when he says something someone on here couldn't have predicted.

I think landing KD would have made him play another season.
I don't think KD going to the Dubs made a difference e.g. if he had gone to Boston.

I think his knee not working was the determining factor. Duncan would have played if he'd been physically able.

I imagine the "it wasn't as much fun", was in reference to his one previously decent knee being shot and to a lesser extent, the extent to which his role was reduced.
I don't care how team oriented one is and it's not even so much the fact that he's an all time great. It's the fact that, as recently as the prior season, he had a far more significant role.

Fuck Dan Patrick and the national media! I love the fact that Tim is straight up loyal to his friends and gives the attention and opportunity to someone in his inner circle. Not some self ass kissing egotistical bastard like Dan Patrick. This is coming from a DP listener. But the way Dan gives love to the big media markets is shameful knowing damn well Duncan is on a level closer to MJ when in comes to goat status. Instead he purposely plays devils advocate to appease the NY and LA markets. Big on Timmy to keep it casual instead of letting Dan Patrick stick out his chest and pat him self on the back for being a great interviewer basically taking credit for all the success. Rant over...
