Spurs fans don't realize that Duncan is old and past his prime.
^ thisss ... guy is an idiot ...
Wow!!! This coming from a Faker fan, what a surprise!!
Unbelievable BS
Tim Duncan have 4 rings and his Contract are how much?
200 millions?
Every GM of the league want to pay 200 if one player give him 4 Rings, probably someone like Mark Cuban can pay 500 millions too
And ther leaderboard is:
T-Mac: +23 millions
Kobe: 23
Jermaine: -23
Duncan: 22
Shaq: 20
Dirk, Pierce and Allen: Almost 20
R Lewis: Almost 19
Michael Reed: +17
In performance by dollar probably only Kobe deserve every dollar more than Tim Duncan
Great point, the thread shouldve ended after your post. Maybe Tim isnt a max player now but he stayed here instead of jetting for Orlando for more money, was underpaid, and took numerous pay cuts through out his career. Tim deserves to the $22 mill, besides there's other guys like Joe Johnson and Rashard Lewis who have max contracts and Tim even as worn down as he is is ten times the player they are.
Also people that say Howard is worthy of a max contract at this point in time are way off...dude is way too raw offensively, he has no low post game whatsoever and you cannot depend on him to carry the team offensively. He's a stud on defense but he's got a way to go on offense, Tim as worn down as he is is still a way better offensive player than Howard. Tim is no stiff on defense either, so overall I still give the edge to Duncan as being a better player. In a couple of yrs, as Howard develops and Duncan declines further that will change but for now Timmy is a better player.
@ people who watch basketball, go to games, support the sport, and surf around on an NBA-related website decrying players for making so much money.
Hey, geniuses, you're the ones giving them money. If you supported your local PTA or high school like you do the NBA, perhaps our school system would be better off.
The players deserve the money. If you had people all over the planet paying $150+ for apparel with your name on it, you would deserve that kind of money too. Sports venues bring in millions upon billions of dollars for a state. Without them, there would be a lot less money for other things, because if sports weren't around, people would damn sure find a way to be selfish and still spend it on themselves.
The biggest every more payed was Finley
Mark Cuban payed him 3 years and 51 millions and he played in San Antonio
I'm from asia. As a nurse, I earn 12,000 pesos/month (266 US dollars) while helping save people's lives. Nurses in the USA get 6000 dollars/ month, and we have the same tasks. Actors/actresses get millions of dollars per movie. Life is really not fair, but at this age, we should have been aware of the reality for a long time.
Timmy deserves every penny he's getting. And i think it's fair, because he helped give us the 4 rings, plus possibly our 5th ring this coming season.
Duncan is one of the best at what he does and he's really put the Spurs on the map and helped make them into one of the most respectable franchsies in the NBA, and in all of sports for that matter. in an ideal world, where millions upon million of people are dying because they have no money, is he worth that money? no. but, and Ruff hit the nail on the head, relative to the owners, they make an appropriate amount of money. it's a players' league, and they deserve the amount they're making.

The next 3 years :
Tim Duncan : $22,183,220 + $18,700,000 + $21,300,000
That's $62,183,220 for 3 years.
That's $20,727,740 / year.
So Duncan does deserve "only" $20,7 million a year.
<------
Does this Laker realize that the LAST TIME SA played LA that Timmy was a few assists shy of a TRIPLE DOUBLE!!! Past his prime, huh.... If that's the case so is Kobe. They're only a year apart....
sayin duncan aint worth 20m a season is like saying jordan wasnt worth the 33-40m a season that he was gettin in his last 2 seasons with the bulls...loyalty and service to one organization is worth it only to the right candidate...
I will say TD is the most deserving one on this list, more than Kobe even. Why?
1. TD and Kobe should be the 'deserving' ones with 4 rings. Shaq not far behind
2. TD > Kobe for value because he wins it without exceeding the cap room (besides this year). He makes people around him better (see Manu, Parker) by trusting them. He makes them coachable (quote Pops), thus making them All-Stars without paying them All-Stars wages (yet). Whereas Kobe just about having rubbish teammates and threaten to leave if nothing is done. Lakers have to go over the cap to accomodate for that. As such, Kobe in fact, has forced Lakers to pay 23 million + whatever over the luxury tax.
evil evil capitalism
world peace!
Haters like laker fans like to denounce the Spurs and Timmy (they hope and pray about their delusions that Timmy's knee's are shot), but the simple fact remains that, regardless of what they say now, if they heard Duncan was available on the trading block they would be ing their pants and foaming at the mouth if they knew there was a chance of their team aquiring him. Even when his contract expires in a few years, if he decided to play more and hit free agency, he would get PAID.
THATS why he is worth what he is paid.
THATS why Shaq gets paid.
/End ing Thread.

Bull . So why did teams attack him on the defensive end even though he has a 9 feet 2 inch wingspan and supposed to be built as an All-NBA defender. His team, statistically also does better on defense when he is out of the game. So, you are telling me his one on one defense is solid which is wrong and his team's defense is weak which is better than when Durant is on the floor makes me think otherwise.
just wait till tim lifts up another championship throphy and prove the haters wrong
