Duncan almost went to Orlando

[Yuixafun]

Farnsworth: Well, Leela, care to give the What-If machine a whirl?

Leela: Maybe later. I-I mean, I don't know what to ask about.

Hermes: Come on, woman! Just pick something.

Fry: Yeah, be more impulsive. Like this.

(He picks up a box of Admiral Crunch, tips the contents on his head and pours milk over it)

Bender: Go, man! Go!

(Fry eats the cereal from his head)

Leela: I can be really impulsive. It just takes me a while.

(Fry chops a banana onto his head)

I've always been gateful he stayed with the Spurs. It just seems like the right fit for him.

Duncan probably would have been a winner anywhere he ended up, whether it was Boston in '97 or Orlando in 2000. But I think there's a lot to be said for his relationships with Robinson and Pop. I don't know if he would have had the incredible career he's had without both of them.

In the end it worked out for the best. There are 4 Trophies to prove it.

If Duncan would have left or if he would leave in the future, would you still be a Spurs fan or are you following Duncan and be a fan of the team he is a part of ? Im just interested, this is not a way of ing or something.

I'm a Spurs fan because of Duncan. If he were to leave I'd follow him. I expect him to retire a Spur which makes me a Spurs fan for life, they'll always be his team.

Nobody could blame him for seeing what Orlando had to offer. Ultimately, I think Tim made the right decision to stay in San Antonio.

...I'm not grateful towards Duncan. This story just showed that he wasn't really committed of staying a Spur.

okay, so you expect every spurs player to eat sleep and breath spurs? these are grown men with careers and they don't lose sleep over if you're dissappointed in them or if they let fans down. i as well don't blame duncan for seeing what else is out there.

i'm sure he's committed to the spurs now but give him a break, he is his own man and if he saw opportunities elsewhere, i would say by all means, he doesn't owe the fans anything.

"give him a break"

Stop acting like a drama queen. I didn't say that Duncan has acted like a piece of crap, I've just said that I wasn't grateful.

Breaking news: Duncan isn't perfect and flawless. The whole Orlando saga isn't surely one of the brightest spot of his Spurs' career.

sorry for being a drama queen

do you know what saga means? looks out of context, but back to the actual subject, so you think that it was a flaw for tim duncan to consider another team? your response to my reply really doesn't make a whole lot of sense and i think for you trying to shoot at me with all this makes you the drama queen. i was just saying that it's ridiculous to expect duncan to live for the spurs

"Duncan to live for the Spurs".
You are 100% certified drama queen.

I'm bored .............

[Yuixafun]

Damn you all for ignoring my Futurama reference.

[ShoogarBear]

If the Spurs start losing, Tim will.

Then they can get Rasho back.

[TDMVPDPOY]

didnt they offer his family life-time dunkn donuts part of the deal? lol

[spursfan1000]

Great job by Robinson coming back from Hawai to convince Duncan to resign. I really don't blame Duncan for looking at Orlando, he was young. Ever since then I think he is the most commited to his team than any team. Kobe,Wade,Amare,Lebron are all not as commited as Tim Duncan.

Not that it would have ever been possible, but just thinking of Howard and Duncan on the same team is awesome. Duncan would free up Howard and Howard would free up Duncan, teams wouldn't know wtf to do with that. Their only defense would be to foul one of them and see if they make the free throws.

[Mugshot]

Doc Rivers has said in the past that Tim Duncan was never leaving San Antonio. They pretty much new that from the beginning. Duncan just went along for the ride out of respect for Rivers, Grant Hill, and Lon Babby.

No need to imagine. It happened in 1997. Tim joined his follow Twin Tower, DRob.

RESULT... CHAMPIONSHIPS

AAAAHHH... memories
