Manu's has dropped below 15 (14.8). It's sad but that's what happens when you play through older ages. They don't care so we shouldn't either.
Career PPG soon to be < 20.0
We all know why, but I hate to see it happen....

For some reason I doubt Timmy really cares.
Fair takes. Still sucks to see it.
Tbh though, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sad to see those numbers drop.
I check his numbers once every couple weeks to see his PPG getting closer and closer to dropping below 20. So it's not just me. It's a bummer to see, but it really isn't that big a deal tbh. But I still keep checking.
Who... cares?
Aw Obamadontcare
It's kind of like the post about Tim about to be the 5th player with 1000 wins.
Tim is already one of only five players with 999 wins.
20.0 PPG is an imaginary line.
Tim doesn't care...why should you?
Because I like to proclaim Duncan as one of the best bigs ever more than he does.
more worried about his all-nba all-defensive selections to be honest. Tim will be forgotten in 20 years time. No one remembers intangibles.
People remember championships. Duncan has 4. No one is forgetting Duncan in 20 years.
He will forever be the best Power Forward to play the games. He doesn't stat pad so of course his number will decline and also not reflect that of what he once was. But at the age of 37 doing what he does out there. I'm sure he happy that he's able to compete at a high level. Stupid thread. Talking about one of the most unselfish players and worrying about his PPG dropping under 20? Really?
If the Spurs hadn't been within 30 seconds of a le last year, I'd be much closer to giving a about Timmy's career stats.
Average decreases and total increases
isn't points per 28 minutes a better metric anyway?
I noticed this the other night and me being a huge fan have monitored it the last few years and knew if he played long enough it would happen. I doubt he cares at all and we should not but honestly career over 20 ppg and 10 rebounds etc. just looks good for some reason. Tim please average more than 20 for the rest of the year and win a ring and make us STATS people happyTim is forever in this game and etched in stone, stop it. LOL at forgotten in 20 years time.
You watch the man play.
the stats.
We got/get to watch one of the best basketball players of all time. One tiny item, who have you seen snag more bad passes to the post than Tim? What big man have you seen with better hands? This is just a tiny fraction of stats you will never see.
lol, this
He's gonna get shafted in the top 10 debates... people are gonna think he wasn't a capable scorer/offensive threat. And most of all, you can't even say you could expect 20 and 10 from him every night because it'd inaccurate.
There are only 6 players who have averaged 20 and 10 in a career that is 17+ seasons.
Kareem
Shaq
Hakeem
Moses Malone
Karl Malone (Just barely, averaged 10.1 career rebounds)
Walt Bellamy (Only played 1 game in his 17th season and averaged a career 20.1ppg)
Still averaged 20 ppg his first 8 seasons, and 9 of his first 10.
Also averaged 19 ppg 2 other seasons, and saying that's worse is splitting hairs.
Stats are for the fans. Players might appreciate that they appear on some all-time stat lists like scoring, blocks, rebounds, etc, but I'm sure for a guy like Duncan who didn't constantly compete for scoring les like the Bryant and Durant types, hardly gives a if his career PPG goes under 20.
