jeopardy question about duncan stumps everyone

[jaffies]

it...here it goes:

LOL wow

[jaffies]

Because they called him a Center tbh.

[jaffies]

the chick probably only heard of Tony because she thinks he's cute. Zero basketball knowledge FTW. Its amazing how little exposure the Spurs get in the mainstream public.

[jaffies]

Then why did that one guy say Melo? He isn't a center, probably not even a fan of the NBA, just heard Melo in the news.

[jaffies]

etc.

[NASpurs]

So... what are you trying to say jaffies?

Nerds don't watch sports, we all know that already!

It was also a $1000 question. It was made to be harder then others. I bet the $200 answer was Michael Jordan.

You didn't find that commercial the slightest bit gay?

Kobe Bryant is interesting because he's the most polarizing NBA player of our generation...seriously, who comes close? Being accused of rape by the town also has made him a lightning rod for conversation.

Besides, it's all a moot point...I just find it funny that spurs fans feel butthurt when the layperson doesn't know who Duncan is. WGAF?

Being a polarizing person doesn't make you an interesting person. If that was the case then Hillary Clinton would be one most interesting people out there. Kobe is super preppy nerdy character only reason he has endorsements and attention is because he plays in LA. Colorado happened simply because he is a nerd without street smarts. If he played in Milwaukee or Utah nobody would give a about him when it came to marketing.

Neither does being a monotone mute on a small-market team. Tim's had a great career--but in their primes--no one in their right mind would argue that Tim's style of play was more exciting or interesting than Kobe's. That doesn't take away from the fact that he's quite possibly the best PF of all-time, but fact of the matter is his game does not appeal to the layperson. I appreciate what he does, but you can't expect casual NBA fans to give a about 15-foot bank-shots. Other than basketball what is there to talk about with Tim? His World of Warcraft career? You guys really need to get over yourselves and stop feeling slighted when someone doesn't know who Timmy boy is.

Eh. Don't really care they don't know about Tim Duncan. What else is knew? All that matters is that we know about Tim Duncan and we know at one point or another he dismantled every team in the NBA.

[PDXSpursFan]

They couldn't figure out the answer because the question stated "spurs center" instead of "spurs foward"

[#2!]

As far as Pro basketball knowledge goes, that question should have been a gimme. Its not even a question from another era, this happened 5 years ago.

I wish I could answer this question for $1,000

[Darkwaters]

He has the personality of a rock and plays in a small market. Don't get me wrong, he's arguably the best PF of all-time, but that doesn't change those facts.

But he has a Wizard tatooed on his back! That's just ironic in this age of gansta wanna be NBA stars.

Just for the record, wizard (Merlin) on his chest, Skele-Jester on his back.
