Two years ago, after the Memphis playoff series, I was sincerely hoping that Tim would consider retiring. He looked awful against Randolph and I hated to see him abused like he was. Slow to jump, very little lift, all the signs were there. He was done.
It is a complete testimony to how great he is that he has come back and been a friggin stud this year. He's changed his game, improved on defense and done the absolute best with what he has. Its truly remarkable. A guy at his age shouldn't be doing what he's doing. Tim, I'm sorry I ever doubted you and underestimated your injury two years ago.
This. The guy has been playing his ass off since I was 6 years old. I'm now 21 and he just put up 34 points and 11 rebounds against a super-athletic front line who are well over 10 years younger than him. The guy has truly stood the test of time. He makes me proud to be a Spurs fan.
Awesome victory. Timmy winding back the clock in a big way this year.
He's absolutely the best.
As an aside: Has anyone noticed that Tim's arms look more muscular this year? I know he has lost weight but he also seems more toned than he has been in recent memory.
Such a humble individual, great work ethic and always trying to get better even at age 36. He has turned back the clock.
Greatest player since Jordan retired tbh

HGH and PED's
No worries man. I did the same thing at one point.
Being completely honest, it's just not going to bother me that much if the Spurs don't win it all this year or even go to the finals. I'd like to at least make the West finals, but it's whatever. Getting to watch this Tim Duncan has been that much of a pleasure.
this as well. after the Grizzlies series, I really thought it was time to move on. I should apologize to the basketball gods but at the time I thought it was in the best interests of all involved to start rebuilding. but to see Duncan adjust his body, his game and sign a team friendly deal....words don't do it justice. On the gamethreads, whenever Parker or Manu are shooting up , I usually make a snarky comment but I don't think I've done that once with TD. I appreciate everything he brings, even if things aren't going well.
(btw nice new sig but the french video screencap was pretty good.)
Not playing with Bonner/Blair/70 yr old Macdyess helps
I notice that as well. Something that makes him stronger and lighter, I guess?
I've always been a huge Duncan fan.... even though it was at my team's expense, it was still awesome to see him turn the clock back and deliver the vintage goods, tbh...
True that. Bonner did surprise the out of me with this steal though lol :
Tim Duncan, YOU ARE AMAZING
Only Lebron and Dominos have been clearly better than him this year, tbh..
It's all for nothing if he runs out of has in the playoffs, but regardless, playing at this level at 36 is historic..
Remember, unlike other old s like Kobe, Duncan actually has major defensive responsibilities in addition to his offense and rebounding..
Exactly. Dice was an extremely over-rated stiff by the time he wore the Silver and Black.
Definitely. With age he should be getting fatter but he looks more fit than ever. Amazing.
Greatest ever.
Greatest PF.
dam, didn't know SAS loves Tim so much.
I definitely doubted Duncan after 2011, but I never stopped being a fan.
His play this year has been such a sight.
I say this every game this year, but a Spurs fan should never ever tire of saying it:
Thank you, Braced God!
ding ding ding
he had no ing support.
