Dan Feldman is a grump: http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/08/19/tim-duncan-wins-nba-teammate-award-despite-teammates-not-being-allowed-to-vote-for-him/

175 votes for top 3. 245 top 5. There are only 30 * 15 + chaff or about 500 players in an NBA season. 35% and 49%. That is a tremendous sign of respect.

Only Russell, Kareem and Wilt were better bigs.

TD should've been teammate of the year every year of his career tbh.

[timtonymanu]

This is something we all already know about TD but good he got recognized for it.

It's obvious a lot of players respect him in the league.

[spurs10]

Well deserved honor!

[HI-FI]

Greatest basketball leader since Russell.

most Spurs fans for calling it Tony't team back in 09. We've never been appreciative enough of our Tim.

truth bomb.

[Russo21]

Is this a new NBA Award? I hadn't heard of it until now. Tim should have 18 of these already Congrats

Link To Tim Duncan Story

Here's a link shared on thate page in the comments incase anyone missed it about a guy who was playing Tim Duncan, and Duncan was coaching him.

Here is my Tim Duncan story
So we're playing the Spurs and I get the ball on the post. I inside pivot and sweep to the middle for my jump hook and he blocks it. So as we are running down the court he says to me "that was a good move but you have to get more into my body so you can either draw the foul or I can't block it".
So I didn't know if he was talking noise or what so just kind of looked at him confused and said ok. Then, a few plays later I did it again got more into his body and he couldn't block it. I missed the shot and he looked at me and said much better and kept playing lol. I remember calling my boy Zee Chilton and telling him this story lol Tim Duncan is honestly one of the nicest guys in the NBA and one of the best power forwards ever. Respect"

GOAT tbh..

Please no derailing of this thread. No anti-Leonard/Parker...

CONGRATULATIONS TO DUNCAN.

Yap, doesn't mean the highest ave. scorer is the best player.
DUNCAN is still the glue.

Interesting that Duncan was one of the only superstars on the list. Most of those guys are role players or decent starters. Speaks volumes that he was able to put his ego aside and be a great teammate despite being one of the best players in the league.

Agree.

If not for Duncan I don't think Manu would come back to play for add'l. year.

After they lost to the Clippers, they went to a bar in L.A., he even carried the drunk giant Baynes to the team bus...that was hilarious

Duncan is most excited to play alongside David West. And it's only August but he already worked out with Aldridge. .
Can't wait for the start of the 2015-16 season

Huge Timmy fan here. The only jerseys I've ever owned are Spurs 50, 21 and 20. But come on, you sound like an idiot saying Tim > Kareem. If you don't mind sounding idiotic, knock yourself out.

[dweaver99027]

Everybody loves Timmy! BTW, Wilt, Kareem and Russell are not to be dismissed so easily in comparisons to Duncan. Respect.
