Tim Duncan Retires.

[SPURt]

Anyone know if Kawhi has said anything publicly about Tim?

They haven't told him yet. They don't want to spook him.

With Timmy retired big part of me died, no more for me to follow the ultimate idol, never been and never will be someone like him, someone it's possible to appreciate his game, his character and everithing about him as much as Timmy... He truly one and only!

A touching tribute from Rasual Butler on IG...class guy.. PATFO decision to cut him in favor of K-mart was one of the tiest marginal moves they did in the past two decades..

calls Tim straight "the GOAT"

They probably want a single retirement thread. This thread. Anyone who posts a new thread with information already in this thread is a jerk tbh. Same with the offseason thread.

They should sticky this thread.

Via Vivid Streaming FB:

"Keith Zoro Swanston came up in our discussion with Tim. That's Zoro and a young Tim Duncan. This picture sparked an interesting discussion with Tim last night. Coming up in the sports."

Actually, it loos like it was a duplicate thread. The original wasn't on the front page when I posted.

Danny Green on TD: "I will miss you the most, because you were also the guy to have my back when pop cussed me out lol."

Wait, LDN, Tony has your back too.

This was the best thing that I saw posted. It was short and brief, but impactful. Good stuff NBATV!

You know TD is truly well respected when Cubes who hates everything San Antonio is pissed at him for not having the chance to have a TD appreciation night in Dallas.

It's not like Tim is dead, he can still celebrate Tim. Though I doubt he can get Tim to show up.

Watching Spurs/Lakers 2003 game 6 and the greatness of Duncan.

Bill Walton: "Duncan against Medvedenko in the left box. Anything else is ludicrous."

some great quotes in here-

http://www.nba.com/2016/news/feature...=iref:nbahpt6d

Here's a couple:

Gary Neal (played with Duncan 2010-13): The most memorable thing about Tim was his sarcasm. He is very sarcastic. It was in 2010; I had just signed with the Spurs. We were still in preseason in Mexico City playing the Clippers. I was having a terrible three months after summer league, couldn't make a shot in the workouts, in the pick up games and even in preseason.
So at the end of the game we're down two. Pop lets Manu draw up a play. Manu draws up a play for me to take the last shot! And Tim was always the last person to shake your hand at the end of the timeout and he told me "Don't miss." At the time it didn't sink in because I was new and didn't really know the fellas that well, but he was being sarcastic as !! So after the game I was so excited that I went up and thanked Manu for drawing the play up and went to Timmy and Tony and thanked them and Timmy looked at me and said 'Don't worry, G. You might be around for a while.' Just a good-hearted fun ass dude... the best teammate too man. You wouldn't believe how humble and approachable he always was.
Garrett Temple (played with Duncan 2009-11): I was always a guy in the gym very early, especially because I was trying to stick in the NBA at the time. TD amazed me because EVERY DAY, whether we had practice, or shootaround, he was so consistent and doing his workout (jump hooks, bank shots, running hooks, etc...) on the gun every morning a certain amount of time before practice. I couldn't believe that no matter what the situation. You could count on TD (a future first ballot Hall of Famer) getting his work in at the exact same goal, at the exact same time. It was amazing.


Brent Barry: And every teammate that has had Tim Duncan falls into the trap of taking him for granted. We know the league has done it for many years and we know the fans have done it for many years but to think as players that we could ever do that might just say a little something about how much Tim cares about himself and concerns himself with others.

I implore people to listen to the subtleties of their compliments to what Tim Duncan is and what he's represented during his career. But I would also tell you that there are plenty of us who can never put into words the quiet greatness he represents. The inner peace of knowing himself. And the complete confidence one can have in saying there will be no one like him again.

great quote from Barry. I actually think Shaq has had some of the best recent quotes on Duncan.
