Ludden: Tim Duncan's Spurs still unshakeable to their core after 15 seasons

That's easily one of the best articles I've ever read, not just for sports but in general. The Timmy and SJax quotes are superb, and it really drives home how wonderful it's going to be when the Big 3's jerseys take their place among the rafters. Our team has had intelligence (Timmy), intensity (Manu), and confidence (Tony) at consistently high levels for over a decade...and we're still standing!

Great read!

Duncan is truly the creme de la creme of NBA superstars. What the article didn't say was that Kobe Bryant would've never allowed another teammate to emerge as the featured player in the offense. Kobe Bryant would've never nutured young players the way Duncan has. He has truly been a gift for the franchise.

Boy, do I miss Ludden.

Let's not forget, Duncan had an amazing mentor in that regard.

Here's to you, Mr. Robinson.

The Spurrrrrs are what Americans claim to want their professional sports teams to be like, but in reality, Americans want to cheer crackheads.

Excellent article by Ludden.

We were definitely spoiled by having Johnny as our beat writer. Given the candor Timmy provides to him for this piece, it also sounds like Timmy has a strong relationship with Johnny as well and is willing to give him access that few others ever get. Pop ribbing him about it makes it sound as if the organization has great affection for Johnny. He's certainly missed around here.

Damn, Ludden does it again. What a perfectly, beautifully written article. I am truly soaking up every bit of this run right now, and these last great years...because soon...#21 will be gone. But until that day comes, you know him, Tony, Manu, and Pop are going to come out guns blazing and fighting like theres no tomorrow! Heres to the Spurs!
