It was Hill, then Danny just came hauling into first with that one. Dayum.

Bruce @Bowen12 on Tim Duncan "Why was he so private? He knew how important it was to save something for yourself."

Baynes should've gone with this pic instead.
Much respect after that post Danny
Has Parker contributed anything to the retirement praise?
You didn't see the Whataburger tribute above?
I think he's attending to national team duties at the moment.
So is Manu, tbh...
Those players wives aren't going to sleep with themselves..

Thank you TD 21 my forever idol ...
I'm so ing sad. I can't believe I will never see another game from Timmy.
He's a living legend.
Thanks for everything 21, you'll always be my favorite athlete.
And so the 'Duncan Era' of our beloved Spurs comes to an end, and settles gracefully into its final home in memory. It's hard to believe it's over, and yet, it's equally hard to believe something so wonderful that never again will be is still so close behind us; so near, and now, so far.
Let it be known, I was a Spurs fan during the time of Tim Duncan.
Thanks Timmy.
I'm not from the US, but I had the immense privilege of watching Tim Duncan play live once before he retired. It was 3 years ago, in Los Angeles, in Staples Center. Spurs vs. Lakers. It was a late regular season game and the Spurs were battling for the 1 seed.
I remember Tim in the post going up Pau Gasol. He faced him up, drove to the basket, then just hammered the ball in Pau's face. I literally jumped out of my seat and screamed.
I will never forget that moment. #ThankYouTD
i feel so lucky to have been a fan from the start. on my hometown team. an incredible man and amazing player. couldnt have wished for a better career. looking back now that it's really over everything went so beautifully. all the way to 2014 redemption. just epic. so many happy memories. you can tell how much he was loved and respected by his peers. that's rare
i love you tim. thanks for making it cool to say you were from san antonio.
19.0 PPG, 10.8 boards and 2.2 bpg, not bad for 19 years..... Oh yeah the most important 5 DAMN RINGS...... My idol, my fave athlete of all TIMES.
Thanks for everything Tim. My favorite player and the reason why I'm a spurs fan.
I did a couple of wallpapers to celebrate his career:

I've spent the last 25 or so years watching the Spurs and am in awe from watching Timmy come into the league and where he had led us. Every year you knew the Spurs would be not just compe ive but have that chance to win the le. It is all thanks to #21. He played the game the right way and did it with class. He did it in his own way and that is why the Spurs are the best organization in all of sports. Still don't want to believe the ride is over but you know for Tim, he's probably going get up in the morning and eat his Cheerios like any other day. In an era that brought us the likes of Kobe, KG, Allen Iverson, etc., Timmy didn't gloat, he didn't talk trash, he just played the game and became a legend. Greatest player in his era!!! Sad to him go but will always have the memories!
My order:
Jordan
Kareem
Wilt
Tim
Feeling finally starting to hit the feels. Even if the Spurs win another le with the current cast, or a different one in 10 years, it just won't ever be the same without you out there. I'm sure other fans have all learned something from watching you play all these years and what I learned echoes a lot of posts here and from social media (fans and NBA players): you are a shining example of how to be successful (one of the greatest to ever do it) with class. That's why so many of your peers respect the heck out of you.
Thank you, TD. now I gotta start a day at work sad as .
The ringer (https://theringer.com/tim-duncan-ret...f48#.l0oqzvl1x):
Never saw it that way, but the more I think about it, the more I agree.Consider this: They had the highest positive scoring margin of any Finals matchup ever, and also the highest field goal percentage, while their highest-scoring player (Parker) averaged fewer points than any other scoring leader on a championship team (17.4). But nothing was more surreal than this:
They’d erased the Game 6 nightmare from the year before (when Ray Allen and the Heat snatched the championship rings off their fingers and also all my emotions out of my soul). More than that, they’d turned that horrifying memory into something cool, a gruesome wound that healed into an intimidating battle scar. Allen hitting that 3 transformed from a historical marker of pain to a symbol of resilience and for ude, the accelerant for the greatest, most fulfilling season in the history of the franchise.
So it would’ve been an easy story to write if Duncan had decided that that was the ending he wanted. But he didn’t. Because it wasn’t. And I’m glad that it wasn’t. Retiring after winning a le is like taking a bath with your spouse: It sounds like a good idea before you do it, and it always looks dope in movies, but it never ends up being as romantic as you’d hoped. You mostly end up just sitting there talking about how you never realized how small the tub is.
Duncan spent his whole career trying to win. So that’s how I thought his career should end. I wanted him to try to win and try to win and try to win and then finally not be able to. And that’s where we are right now. He died on his shield in the 2016 playoffs. It’s exactly the right Thing.
