and how many years he's been doing that?
do you run with bad knees, jump and get beat up?
and how many years he's been doing that?
obviously too many to still be paid that much!!!
and yet he still plays better than some of this young players
Do you have a quote for this? I don't remember hearing this anywhere. Thanks.
Duncan is still playing extremely well considering his age, mileage and responsibility..
Hakeem didn't reach Duncan's current amount of mileage until he was about 36 or 37, and he was pretty much done as a star player by that time, so that's not really comparable..
Kareem was pretty much what Duncan is now, probably slightly better(he's a top 3 player of all-time though, so), but he had Magic Johnson as the guy on his team..
It was one of his All-Star game interviews. I'm pretty sure it's this one. If he doesn't say it in this one the links for the rest of his All-Star interviews are on pages 5, 6, and 7 in the Duncan Forum.

If my memory is wrong and it's not from All-Star let me know. I'll find it for you.![]()
As always, thanks for being on top of things. You are simply the best.
watched the Duncan vid in my sig for the first time in a long time. it's like whole different person, not many things in there he can still do![]()
bull , it was on more than half the team. Mason missed ALL his 3's, Jefferson was his typical MIA and that dam traveling call. Bogans, can't hit a shot to save his life. Yes Tim, made some mistakes but it's not all on him, there's 4 other guys on the court with him.
Those were great times, to think we had DRob at the same time.
But somehow the FO can't recognize we need a young capable big playing alongside Tim more than ever. I've said it before and I'll continue to say it, TP is the only trade able piece we have that could get us a young valuable big.....
Spurs pay Duncan two times the Manu's salary right now?
Duncan's salary this season: 22,183,220
Manu's: 10,728,130
Dudes gave us 4 championships. he deserves every dime of what hes making.
He obviously needs to play better than how he played last night and he will be the first to tell you this. if you want to start pointing fingers, your pointing at the wrong guy.
No Duncan- No les.
How can you guys be hating on Duncan? Don't you know enough about him over the years to realize that he's going to give you the best he's got.
Watching the vintage clips of Timmy in his prime makes you realize how much he's playing on guile and smarts now. All those dunks in the clips are now half hooks, pump fakes, and contested shots at the rim now.
If you were a fan during the 4 championships, you should stick it out and realize that this was the natural course of events. No one or no team holds off time forever.

No Spurs fan should EVER complain about Tim's salary. Ever.
He looked like he he did not care. Balless.
Well Duncan did carry the load in the first half of the season with no one else stepping up. Duncan is clearly getting tired from doing all the work. People like Mason, Bogans, RJ, and Dice need to return the favor and step up themselves to let Tim rest.
No Manu- less les . . .
