Tim Duncan Sends Out 3-Month Warning To Inform Spurs Of Upcoming Season Opener
September 11, 2010
SAN ANTONIO—Spurs center Tim Duncan sent an e-mail with the subject heading "REMINDER! OPENING TIP-OFF COMING!!!" to all of his teammates Tuesday, urging them to keep Wednesday, Oct. 27, completely free because that is the night they play the Indiana Pacers in the 2010-2011 NBA season opener. "Please do not plan anything that entire day, as there will be a pregame meal, a mandatory pregame shoot around, warm-ups, and the game against the Indiana Pacers. Afterwards, plan on Coach Gregg Popovich addressing us in the team locker room for five to 10 minutes," Duncan's e-mail reads before going on to mention that he would be at the arena extra early to help with parking or anything else that might come up. "Remember, the game is at home at the AT&T Center. If you like, I can send you directions to the game based on the addresses I currently have on file. Please, if anything has changed, notify me." Explaining that he didn't want a repeat of last year's scheduling snafu, Duncan concluded the message by reminding his teammates that the Spurs haven't played in the Alamodome since 2002

Not the Onion's best work, but glad that they are continuing their ongoing tribute to Timmy.
=/
Appreciate the effort.
I actually thought that was real, which is why I thought it was hilarious of Timmy. But if its fake, its not that funny.
I honestly wouldnt be surprised if Tim actually did that. He is a joker.
The Onion does love Duncan.

That was ing terrible.
lame
It's like if lefty wrote it himself.
I did not laugh. It is quite pathetic.
Come on . . . it's funny because it's not true, but it sounds like something Duncan would actually do. I guess it was too subtle . . . and it didn't end with a fart joke.
I agree with it would only be funny if it was true...
The article in which he yells out the angle on the bankshot is hillarious
