    It's his pre-game ritual, the same way that LeBron throws all that tal powder up in the air. But not as messy.

    One of my favorite ball hug shots, it's an SI portrait.

    Well I can't speak for Duncan but I have always done it too.

    For me personally, it makes me feel stronger, the ball lighter and smaller. Temporarily of course.

    Best I can explain it is for the same reason in baseball, they put those little tubes on their bat to make it heavier when in the box waiting to bat.

    That's Duncan's "lucky" routine. Baseball players are more into strange little rituals, but I think just about all the NBA's stars have something or another. The weirdest was when Magic used to kiss Isaiah everytime they went up against one another.

    I'm not a troll. I just joined but I've been a Spurs fan since the Rodman days. I think Bob Hill got a raw deal, but I still like Pop
    Elliott's 3 pointer falling out of bounds is one of my all time favorite shots

    Doe sthat make me official enough?

    Seriously though, I've always ondered why he hugs the ball that way.
    Common knowledge doesn't make it official. If you're cool and avoid -like behavior, you'll be welcomed here.

    With that said, welcome to SpursTalk.

    It's his thing, like KG with his tal powder ritual on the scorer's table.

    I don't know, alot of of the things I read from you I already knew, but its cool because you like reiterate to me. You just seem to take it to another level. Thank you for preaching Tim Duncan.

    Yeah.. Lebron needs to be slapped for that. All that damn powder getting on the floor. The Hornets mascot was bad enough at that...

    Thanks, I think.
    That CP3 flop was so absurd I wasn't even mad about it. I just kinda giggled. I guess Ric Flair influences the Hornets on the court as well

    Nice video at 1:33 No lie, when I first heard that line years ago I thought R. Kelly said "I am a negro.."

    You gotta add the 3 pointer against Phoenix to it
