I'm no kid, I'm forty five and live in my moms basement! You're probably out there working a job, while me I'm living the good life, just Spurs, NBA 2K, and no care in the world! You do look pretty impressive from that high perch you sit upon. Please, at you're earliest convenience, pee some more wisdom down upon us that are lower than you!Quote:

Duncan w/o a doubt, Manu and TP have it to, they basically lead their national teams, since I have a feeling TD will outlast Manu, it will be Tim's team until he retires, when he does, MVParker will assume the throne, it doesn't seem to be in Kiwi's makeup. LMA was the best player on the Blazers for nearly a decade but it became Dame's team as soon as he got there and Tony has more pull than Dame. The trio rules the Spurs but TD rules the trio, once TD and Manu gone, no doubt it will be Tony's team.

It's gonna be an interesting season. A coach as good as Pop with players of this quality has a chance to do something special.
The ones who think Spurs Alpha is somebody else than DuncanQuote:

Alpha imo isn't the best player it is the leader of the pack, all Spurs defer to Timmy, you see it, can you imagine Manu getting into Timmy's face and Timmy backing down? I can't. Even though LBJ is the best player on that Heat team, DWade was the alpha. Can you see Kiwi telling TP to sit the hell down and shut up, or complain about him not setting a screen, I can't seem to but I can easily imagine the reverse.
Becky.
It's absolutely Duncan. You don't have to be selfish to be an alpha. You don't have to be loud or demonstrative. You have to be the guy who makes teammates accountable and the guy who will make the right play at the right time for the team in a big moment.
21 is absolutely those things.

Some people on here are predicting he'll sit 40+ games. Duncan would be the first to tell you he is no longer physically capable of commanding double teams and out playing the opposing team's best player throughout an 82 game season. That's the quality that makes Duncan so special, he is honest about his limitations.
Timmy is Alpha
Pop is Beta
RC is Gaama...

now if your question is who is going to be the biggest concern of opposing defenses it's another question
try to focus and keep up brah
Can't speak for everybody, but I obviously know that this team runs through Tim. He's the foundation.Quote:

I see Tim settling into more of the D-Rob role now where he will he will help anchor the defense and pick his spots on offense...at least until the playoffs start.
Larry O'Brien leads this team.

Well, I think what I've learned is objectivity is in short supply with fans. I stated in my original post that the Spurs have two max players, which would imply they are getting max contracts for on court contribution. Luckily the front office doesn't pay for legacy alone like the Lakers. I was looking for more of a basketball conversation, but people want to talk about feelings and nostalgia. Which is all good. Tim Duncan is my favorite Spur, so I can't complain too much with the consensus.Quote:
