A Story about Tim Duncan when he was in college. Quite Suprising!!!

[Kobe24Forever]

damn and i always thought duncan was the sort of angelic good guy type, someone you can count on not to rat on you even during high school days, but this article has changed my perception. I will never look at Duncan the same again, and every time i see him put on that puppy face, i cant help but tell myself he's a faker, and not born a nice guy, but forced himself into one for image sake.

Kobefan brings the righteous anger.

This is amusing on so many different levels, I don't know where to begin.

Those are all one time incidents. Mistakes that those men regret or in one case cost him his life. This is a story claiming Duncan in College went to a bar, had some drinks, groped some girl and got nasty with the bouncer. So in all the years he has been a pro, on the road half the season, every chance in the world to go out, party, hit the clubs, spend tons of cash and get frisky with womem nothing has ever come out against Tim Duncan publically. I don't find it believable to any extent.

Your logic fails.

As a famous millionaire professional athlete, Duncan likely had plenty of women "willing" to be groped by him. There's less of a chance for an incident like that to happen as a pro because the women he would have met wouldn't have been offended if he made advances.

Back in college, there's a good chance a random girl at a bar wouldn't know he was "Tim Duncan" or that he was guaranteed to be rich and famous. That's when a girl could believably protest his advances.

You don't find it believable because you don't want to believe it's possible for Tim Duncan to have done something like that. Sorry, but it's possible. And, as long as it didn't cross the line of sexual harassment or sexual assault, it's not a big deal in my opinion. Not cool, but just a stupid thing that happens with drunk college guys at a bar from time to time.

As a millionaire, hypothetically, some of those women that were willing to be groped by Duncan would be lining up to sue his ass off, trying to cash in. Yeah some women will do anything to hop into bed with a pro athlete but others will do anything to get a shot at making them look bad to the press and trying to cash in to make the whole situation go away. Nothing in the story makes sense to me is all. Duncan is about as laid back and un-impressed with himself as it gets. Telling a bouncer to " off, do you know who i am" just does not sound like Tim Duncan to me. If he was told he wasn't wanted there, he'd likely just say "Fine whatever" and leave.

You simply won't allow your personal sports hero to be allowed to have made an error in judgment in his past. It's more than possible. It's more than believable. It's more than possible Duncan was a slightly different person in college. It's more than believable that as a 20 year old college kid who knew he was about to have the world in his hands that he was a little y when it comes to girls. It's more than possible that at that age, when he had a few beers, he got a little bit bold when he talked to girls at a bar. It's more than believable that after he was drafted by the Spurs and surrounded by professional teammates who knew how to conduct themselves that he became more responsible and mature when it comes to his actions outside of the basketball court. It's more than possible that he learned his lesson as a kid and never again got caught up in anything like that with girls at a bar or a club.

And, it's entirely possible the story never happen at all. I haven't been arguing whether it's certain either way whether the story is true or not true. I've been saying that it's possible and believable that it could have happened, but probably not to the degree that it was described as I'm sure the guy who wrote the story exaggerated a great deal if it did in fact happen.

It's beginning to seem it's altogether believable that you think Tim Duncan is a virgin, a saint, and the Son of God, so I'll leave it at this and dispense with any further "yes it is-no it's not" discussion as neither of us is going to acquiesce to the other's point of view.

[Fernando TD21]

Possible? Yes, it is. Believable? I doubt.

[Kori Ellis]

In addition to the fact that the Tar Heels hadn't lost to Wake that year, I believe that a couple years back, it came out that the guy made up this whole story and had been emailing it to every publication trying to get people to print it, changing the details every time. It's been around on the internet for quite some time.

[polandprzem]

Damn I'm confused

So was Duncan playing at Wake Forest or not?

wow what a drama queen.

I guess if Kobe gets accused of rape and adultery; you can forgive him, but if its Tim Duncan and how can you forgive that? I love the Laker fan logic.

I hate this story. I mean i can not say its not true 100 %, but looking at the known history of TD makes it really hard to believe. I also hate the fact that it gives ammo to other fans, because they won't question it. They will use it to discredit Tim in any way just because they want to.

Sure it could have happened. But it's probably only a 50-50 chance that it's true.

My only question is: I know that Duncan is very strong and extremely tall, but would a serious martial artist really get handled by him? The guy describes himself as a very serious fighter. It seems to me like he's trying to up-play the whole situation to make it more credible.

As strong and athletic as NBA athletes are, I absolutely positive a guy like Brock Lesner or Matt Hughes would absolutely dismantle ANY NBA player in a fight. Shaq included. Doesn't matter how big you are, if you get hit by a guy who knows how to utilize his core muscles and is trained in fighting, you're done.

It's possible, but it's also possible Timmy could snap, come into the next preseason game with an AK47 and shoot up the arena. The chances of that happening though are just as likely as this story being true. Your argument sounds like you're just trying really hard to hate on Tim. Hater.

[JamStone]

Take it how you want to take it. Story is likely fabricated. All I been saying is college boys do some stupid when they get drunk. And, a perceived image isn't always accurate. Do you guys remember how Kobe was the all American posterboy for McDonald's and Sprite before the Denver incident. I'm sure Tim Duncan is a good guy. Doesn't mean he is without faults or flaws and that he never made a bad decision, especially when he was younger and more immature.

And, sorry, but this story is quite significantly more likely to have happened than the chances of Tim Duncan shooting up an arena with an AK are of happening.

SMH @ people and their crazy and extreme analogies on these boards lately. No Hitler reference?

[tp2021]

Hitler? More like the KKK. And atheists.

Damn, I was coming into this thread specifically to compare you to Hitler.

[tmtcsc]

That story is so bad on so many levels. Anybody who claims to be skilled in martial arts isn't going to be intimidated by a person's height . What a joke.

The most unbelievable thing about that story is that Tim Duncan said more than 2 sentences to anyone he didn't know.

Well you just seem to think that anything is possible, so no one can argue with that. But the fact that you try and make it seem like the story had some credibility because anyone could do anything, even great guys just makes it seem like you have a personal thing. People use extreme examples because it points out the ludicrous nature of people's arguments. If an argument is strong, or a belief system, it should be able to stand up against any scenario.

[DPG21920]

You missed my point completely, as evidenced by your lame attempts to reference what I said out of context.

[mavs>spurs2]

you guys just wait till i post my firsthand account of tim raping a nun..

[Biernutz]

So many holes in the story you could drive a truck thru it-----

[FilSpursFan]

I cant believe it. haven't seen Tim angry...

WTF?

I didn't say the story had credibility at all. I said it was possible. And, the story is possible. That's a direct response to several posts that say it was 100% impossible for it to have ever happened.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Jeesh doesnt the bull er of the article know Tim Duncan does magic? Oh yeah and Im sure the girl didnt press charges on him

[DPG21920]

Just saying there is a difference between possible and probable. The story has no credibility.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

you guys just wait till i post my firsthand account of tim raping a nun..

See now that I could believe. The man's got a Merlin tattoo, so he probably practices witchcraft. And if he's a witch I'm sure he probably hates anything connected to the Christian faith. Well within the realm of possibility.
