After being snubbed in the DPOY and all defense voting (should have been first team), this is a welcomed surprise.
Round of applause from players when Pop announced All-NBA selections. Pop said Duncan especially was "really touched."

Parker said hard to tell if Duncan was really "really touched." "Timmy's a good poker player."

Damn right.

Those 3 30-pt game in March & April helped.
Gasol is not far behind.

Fuk that fagget CP3, overrated piece of shit. Fuk that bastard kobe. How does TP not make first team? That's bullshit.
I really think Parker is better than Chris Paul.
So I just noticed something. How did Marc Gasol win Defensive Player of the Year....and not make the NBA All-Defensive 1st team?Quote:

No but he made the All NBA 1st team in the 90s, the 2000s, and now in the 2010s. First player to ever do so in 3 different decades.Quote:

-We beat Lakers in Playoffs (every time we have, Spurs have gone on to win Championship)
-Things going our way (injuries to other teams superstars)
-Defense playing really well
-Overcoming Adversity: THIS YEAR (GS Series)
PREVIOUS CHAMPIONSHIP YEARS (Memorial Day Miracle, Coming back 13 down Against Mavs game 6 in 03, Robert Horry Shot Game 5 in 05 vs Pistons)
Etc....
So anyways, congratulations Duncan! Well Deserved!
BEST BIG IN GAME STILL HATERS! Case could be made Parker was better than Paul as well....
Oh and screw you ace3g, you cant always be the 1st one to post news :lol
timmy the GOAT
What a beast Duncan has been! Wow!
major props to Timmy. what an icon. and props to Tony, as always, underrated.
Spurs have two top ten players in game by any standard and F the haters who do not still give them a chance to win 6 more if both plus Manu stay relatively healthy
Funny how they made TP a 4th guard this year ...
Young people are funny.Quote:

if Tony didn't go down with injury he would have cracked first team over Paul. he was in serious MVP talks and people were calling him the best pg in the league at the time. oh well. congrats on cracking the 2nd team. no slouch.
Although Tim ABSOLUTELY deserved the first team, I'm still in shock he actually made it. fucking beast
I think he meant that for every championship won by the Spurs, they have defeated the Lakers at some point in the POQuote:

Congrats to Timmy -- much deserved.
TP on the 2nd team is right. For those griping about CP3, Tony was 4th in voting at guard. He was actually closer to 5th than 3rd.
Only gripe I have is Dwight Howard, but it was not even close for the 3rd center spot.
:toast
Congrats to both Timmy and Tony. Well deserved. I think if Parker hadn't got hurt he'd had a good chance to be in the first team as well.
