I know he will get some flack from some of my Laker brothers.
But sad to see the end of an era.
We lose Kobe and Duncan in the same year.
See you guys at Springfield in a few years ...

Losing Duncan and Kobe almost at the same time. End of an era indeed.![]()
I see CN lurking keep it classy. This is about Tim.
Only reason I bring up Kobe is because of the battles we had on here ...
This is about Tim.
Best big imho since Kareem.
Hakeem and Shaq may have had better peaks ...but I would take Tim's career over both.
And I love both guys.
Third-greatest of all time, behind only LeBron and Kareem. Congrats on a great career, Timmy.![]()
What battles? Duncan was battling Shaq, MVPau, and Stern. Kobe was just there being his usual cancerous role-player self. Kobefans were imagining a rivalry with Duncan that never existed.
There you go ... where is MJ?
But I agree great player
My all-time team
C - Kareem
PF Tim
SF Lebron
SG jordan
PG Magic
Couldnt ask for a better starting 5 tbh ...
Thank Christ. He answered bell after bell after bell. Never again.
Last impression:::Standing in front of that Federal Courthouse out $26 million dressed in diarrhea colored stretch pants. What an asshole.
+ you kids put great stock in that HOF horse . Let him go in there with a rapist.

Come on thread, it was his Fans not Tim you had issue with.
At least for today we can pay the man some respect.
The fact he had you nervous about duncan 6>Kobe5 ...shows he was a bad man.
It was the closest we had to a Magic vs. bird.
It's only fitting they tied at 5.
The greatest since Jordan for sure. I hope his legacy would grow as the years go on, and people look back and wondered why a player that consistently put up amazing numbers year after year after year for more than 15 years would be largely ignored during his playing days.
He was a phenomenal leader, and one of the best teammates ever.
He was also one of the rare players who led teams that played totally different styles to rings over his career (1999, 2003, 2005/7, and arguably 2014). Players like Shaq won with one type of team, same with Jordan, same with Hakeem, same with Bird. Russell, and maybe Magic and Jabbar were the only other ones that can claim being the alpha of teams that had a totally different styles.
Wouldn't say "ignored".
Us true Hoopers knew he was legit.
Always.
He was understated because he wasnt flashy like Hakeem or a foce of nature like Shaq.
But his career surpasses both.
& I had no issue with (Duncan) until he displayed his true colors & self when he somehow found space beneath Dwight Howard's at ude. It wasn't enough to skunk us/Howard and let us crawl out of there, belly draggin'. No, that sexual had to lean back on the scorer's table skinnin' & grinnin'. To that point I'd defended him against Amy breaking their blood oath, I'd defended him by dressing down Noah for his foul line antics intimating that Duncan sucked .
You know what though? He'd been hiding all those years. A wise man woulda put team ahead of a woman he'd been in league with to live a lifetime of deceit. Bless her & let her go---then turn in the corner & square up the '13 Playoffs. Not Duncan. He put everything he had into repudiating her demand for divorce. And it cost the people who had not broke his heart & ass every single thing THEY had.
The honest Tim Duncan was revealed to us at Amy's demand for divorce & Dwight back sassing him down 0-4.
, , .
No replacing the legend.
Congrads TD on a Top 5 career. ..
The biggest difference between Tim and Rapist, aside from the fact that Rapist was always a second-fiddle, coat tail rider is the fact that Tim left his team compe ive and still relevant after he left. This is what the Lakers look like, and have looked like since 2012 thanks to Rapist:

Lucky man, I'd a rode his gay ass hard-put him up soppin' wet had he come off that Spurs bench catchin' Gasol's farts.
Nobody woulda stopped me.
I'm a might nonplussed over the fact that he skips out on me---me holdin' that 9lb sledge.
I don't to rings of honors, halls of fame, statues out in front of the house, door stops, pretties,,,but, I'm gonna live long enough to do his HOF induction. I'll watch the rapist eclipse him.
I created that Bag. I set that Bag in Texas. And The Bag is there for eternity.
& Ray Allen backing into that coffin corner. tee, hee.
Show some class, chucho.
Today is not about that.
Kobe: 5
the tired old bag Duncan: 2nd 5th
No class, nor mercy today, Killa.
No in' way.
that got.
& let a little semi-retired squirt like Battier take his 1st 5th.
WOOT!
Sad day for a Spurs fan, but it's due. He just couldn't bring it anymore, and father time remains undefeated.
People always have this notion that Duncan's peak was inferior to the other greats like Shaq or Hakeem, and I used to thought that as well because of the raw numbers, but when you really look into the details, Duncan was eye to eye with them when measuring peaks.
It's sort of accepted truth that Jordan, Lebron, Hakeem, Shaq, Bird, Wilt and Jabbar have peaks that are untouchable by others, but Duncan, when you actually look at the numbers in details, actually measures up, he wasn't that far off. Jabbar, Jordan and Lebron kept those numbers over a longer period of time than anyone else did though.
Ready to answer the question whether the media is to be used as a standard yet? What is it? Duncan had the "1st 5th" because the media listed Spurs gear for sale, or is it that media is not to be trusted because they put undue scrutiny on the Lakers while letting the Spurs and Celtics slide? Which one is it?
Who needs your mercy? Who are you anyways?
Like how Kobe got taken to school by Austin Croschere, Tayshuan Prince, and a semi-retired Jason Kidd? Or how Shaq embarrassed himself in Phoenix and Cleveland? Or how Jordan in Washington? Or Bird with his back, or Magic with his backstabbing, or Hakeem in Toronto? You want to talk about the media being inconsistent, how about looking in the mirror you coward.
Lol Thready you are having an epic meltdown today, save some face, that Tim Duncan knew his , nobody will remember Amy from now on.
Best power forward ever.
Cub salty as today.
Take your blood pressure medicine old man.
I was thinkin' about diein' in the next year or two. Not now. I'm livin' still and I'll be livin' then when he enters your beloved Hall behind the rapist.
Goin' out like that,,,lettin' Oklahoma get the best of him. Beat his gay ass twice in Texas. Made him crawl out of there.
