One of the best big men of all-time, 'The Big Fundamental' is just as good at age 37

Fantastic article. Absolutely filled in tons of gaps I had about Duncan, especially pre Spurs.

My favorite portion among many was the conservation with his college coach after deciding to return to college for his senior year:


Odom is right. That quote is as relevant to any us as it was to Duncan at the time. Never take your youth for granted.

Ha... that's the exact passage I quoted on my facebook after I read the article.

A lot of people don't realize how much Timmy is an Every-mans Man. If you got a nice ride and take it to Black Jack Speed Shop you might be lucky enough as I was to walk in and actually see him working on vehicles and chat it up with me about mine. I told him "I don't have the bank you do, but give me 2 years and I will embarrass your Challenger."



I see him once in a while out at San Antonio Raceway in his GT-R..... I SEE him, I don't bother him. Still have yet to challenge him at the tree. That GT-R is pretty damn quick and Timmy can drive. I'd get murdered as my car is right now and I can smoke stock corvettes (unless its like a ZR1) and new Camaro's. my best time is an 11.6 in the 1/4mi. In the next year or so I will have paid off the car and that's when the REAL fun begins, and THEN I will challenge Timmy in his Challenger to make good on my promise to him.

I might even have Black Jack install the procharger I'm planning on getting so Timmy can see what he's in for.

with the work I've done so far on the bottom end and other components (in prep for forced induction), this is similar to the results I'm expecting once I really go full on with the mods...



My point is, he is that approachable off the court if you have the same interests as he does and don't smother him with fandom. He is really a down to earth guy.
