    A piece from an article in the San Francisco Chronicle. The quote was too good to pass on.

    http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...SP5K11NTJT.DTL

    Arriving fresh from a dynasty that never was

    ...But Maggette knows what changed. He went north to Oakland, for five years and $50 million, a consolation prize for the Warriors, who wanted Brand more. He took more money than he was offered in San Antonio ("Tim Duncan wished me well, and told me not to take my whippin' personally," Maggette said) to join a more nebulous situation with Golden State.
    who cares what Tim told him - bottom line - Maggette is not coming, but we shall be happy with Mason...

    Maggette is a tad overrated anyway, the guy has a very apathetic demeanor on the court and his numbers shot up ominously in his contract year. It wouldn't surprise me if he put up lethargic statistics now that he has his big payday.

    I'll be really mighty disappointed with the Spurs if they don't beat to pulp GSW in their first meeting, and shut down CM just to make a point.
    Not to worry!

    For a guy who just signed the richest contract of his life, Maggette doesn't sound very excited. It must be bittersweet to look ahead to being a wealthy player on a mediocre team that has little chance of doing much damage, at least for a couple of years.
    this is what they teach you in clipper land....get hurt, make tons of cash, and you get front row seats.....cory woulda brought that disease with him, im one of those ones whos happy we didnt sign him....very happy

    Duncan sometimes comes across as aloof but his thirst for victory is undeniable. He's not fast, he's not quick, he can't jump, he's not physically imposing and he's not even overly skilled at any one aspect of the game. But when it comes to pure dedication to winning championships above all else, I don't know an athlete in the history of sport who has him beat.
    That's where I disagree. Duncan is a BIG dude! If he's matched up against a PF he simply overwhelms them with his size. He must weigh in the 260-270 range.

    There's only one name that pops into my head and that's Bill Russell.

    So the Spurs' record vs GSW in 08/09 will be? 4-0, 2-2, 1-3, 0-4?

    Tim better get his Maggette-whippin done in the season, since GSW may not make the playoffs.

    In his twilight years, Tim has shown no fire until the playoffs start.

    Duncan evidentally has seen this movie:




    That's a Jack Jenkins quote from that movie...minus "ass" in front the whuppin' part and minus the stuttering.

    "T-t-tt-t-tttt-Try not to tt-t-t-take this ass wh-wh-wh-whuppin personally"

    That's one of my favorite quotes ever.

    He used to be overly skilled at the bank shot, but he seems to have let that one slide. His skill set is strangely amorphous. Basically, he does almost everything at a just sub-elite level. It adds up to a monster, but is somewhat underwhelming at times.

    Thats enough for now. A couple of those guys have even gone through Duncan to win les. Also, those were some arrogant ass statements by Frankenstien Duncan.
    Don't think you can say any of these guys is more committed to winning or works harder at his game.

    And in term of arrogant statement your boy Kobe says about 30 or 40 more obnoxious trash talking statements a game than Duncan has in his entire career little fellow.

    Maggette will also love living in the Bay Area for all of these reasons: The Weather, the nightlife, and the groupies (although they are all over the world)... but anyway obviously the Warriors arent in a position to contend for much more than a playoff birth as they stand, but we have a young nucleus and you never know how good we could be in a few years barring any potential FA signings...I dunno I hope he is happy here in the Bay and I hope he will help contribute to our improvement over the next few seasons.

    I thought he may have said that to NVE as well.
    Too bad NVE didn't take it to heart. We're still searching for that backup PG that was right under Pop's nose but who is in Sac Town now.

    I'm amazed he has never developed, or was instructed to develop, an unblockable baseline turnaround a la Hakeem. He would have been even more of a superstar.

    I agree with you. Those statements sound like they would come from Kobe. But since they are from Duncan, you guys think they are great quotes. You cant deny Duncan his props, but to put him in the category of winnners like Russell, Ali, Magic, Bird, Tiger, and so on is going overboard.
    B/c you are a Flaker fan, you cannot admit the truth. But, plainly, among the pundits and players it is agreed that TD is one of the best to ever play the game of basketball. Had he played in NY, he'd be bigger than most of the sports personalities (golf is a skill, not a sport) you've named above. Had the love of the almighty dollar not been the root of the evil of expansion, by the time his career is over, then TD, like Russell, would would probably have played on a talented team that had won 10 or more les. As it is, he could win 5-7 les depending on what the FO surrounds him with in 2010.

You cant deny Duncan his props, but to put him in the category of winnners like Russell, Ali, Magic, Bird, Tiger, and so on is going overboard. , in a sport where one punch can end a career, Marciano never lost a fight in the toughest sport of all sports. Magic carried his team to the le his rookie season when Kareem went down. Magic won a high school le, a NCAA le, and a NBA le in a four year span, and was barely 20 years old. Duncan was still getting beat up in college at 20. Russell actually coached one of his NBA les while leading his team on the court.

    Also, Duncan never won a college le, and he stayed four years.
    trying to undervalue Duncan in a Spurs forum will only get you flamed.

    Why? because he wanted more money?
