From Basketbawful. It's a slow day.
(This one came out today, it references the one from last year that follows.)
The Duncan Face: You all remember the Duncan Face, right? Well, as you can see in the picture above, Timmy made it again last night against the Pistons. Dan B. sent in the pic and asked: "Why does Tim Duncan look scared/surprised in this picture?" Here's the answer: At this point, the Duncan Face is an unconcious, instinctive reaction. He can't even control it anymore, just like I can't control the damn eye twitch I get every time somebody brings up Kobe Bryant. (And by "eye twitch" I mean "uncontrollable vomiting.")
Word Of The Day: Duncan Face
April 22, 2008
Duncan face (dunk'-uhn fas) noun. A look of incredulous, googly-eyed mock surprise that is directed at a referee by a player any (and every) time a call does not go that player's way. Note that the Duncan face can be enhanced by raising the hands in an "I didn't do it!" gesture and should be followed up with a steely-eyed glare.
Usage example: On to my frustration: The Spurs are huge babies. This applies to Popovich, Duncan, and seemingly every other player on the court. Duncan has his Duncan Face everytime he doesn't get a call. [By "Isaac," via TrueHoop.]
Word history: It's impossible to pinpoint exactly when this term was invented, but it's been popular for at least the last three or four seasons, during which time the Duncan face has become a parody of itself. I mean, how can the officials possibly take Duncan -- or any player who utilizes the Duncan face -- seriously anymore? If I was an NBA referee, I would make one call or non-call against a player for each time he used the Duncan face. (This could quite possibly be the reason I am not currently employed as a referee.)
Great Duncan faces throughout history: In addition to the standard or "classic" Duncan face shown above, there are several other Duncan faces that can be used when the situation warrants it:
1. The "Dear God, it hurts!" face. Because that foul could have killed me, man!
2. The "Holy crap ref, you cannot be serious!" face. Because, damn it, you totally would have made the right call if you'd seen what I saw.
3. The "I saw that was wrong from the bench!" face. Because I saw that all the way from over here.
4. The "I'm gonna make a sarcastic face!" face. Because you, Mr. Referee, are an idiot.
5. The "But I'm Tim Duncan's teammate!" face. Because I really am Tim Duncan's teammate! (Starring Manu Ginobili as himself.)
6. The "Get yer filthy hands off me!" face. Because seriously, ET TU, MANU?!
7. The "Why is my life so damned hard?" sad face. Because you all know I didn't do it, so why do you have to make me cry?
8. The "Cheaters really do prosper" goofy grin face. Because it feels sooooo good to cheat and win.
And, all that leads to this: The many faces of Tim Duncan:
Dear God, I love that pic. Can I borrow it for my background?
Which one?
Use anyone you want.
Funny blog post...but all in all, i hate reading basketbawful. They absolutely refuse to accept the Spurs as contenders and won't even reference their big-game wins.
I love the way the ref is looking at him in #2. On a serious note, I think he's been working on pulling out the Duncan face only for special occasions.
That fellers got some funny faces.
That second pic from the top is the one I shopped for that iden y revealing thread (if you remember that one d228)
I agree, I'm not a fan of Basketbawful either. But if someone was going to make fun of Duncan I might as well laugh at it.
