Not always...ask Eddie Griffin.
He probably wouldn't be too nice now w/his wife on reality tv spilling their bidness....
oh, you mean the 'i made multiple millions' eddie griffin?
Yeah I remember seeing Timmy at Costco over by UTSA and not going up to him but saying "Holy it's Tim Duncan" out loud and he looked at me like "WTF?" haha, then i picked up my nephew and kind of told him he was looking at the greatest in the franchise history. Really memorable and funny moment i won't ever forget.
I saw J.R. Reid putting gas in a suburban at valero 1604 stone oak parkway. I didn't know he stayed here.
I was working at a club a few years ago (I won't name which!) and I met Timmy, Sean Elliott, Tony, Cherokee Parks (that dude is hilarious!), Devin Brown, Steve Smith and even Derek Fisher. I also asked Fisher if he was a Spurs fan. He said "No, I play for the Lakers." He's a lot shorter in person, I totally didn't recognize him.
Monty Williams used to live in the apartment next door to me. Bas backed into my 300zx and vehemently denied it when I went over and confronted him about it. I was in my damn apartment and saw him friggin' do. His GF or wife answered the door and I said Monty backed into my car. Monty came to the door and was a total asshole. Denied he did it and asked if I knew who he was. He then goes on a rant saying he could by 10 of my cars or some like that. After lobbing a few verbal volleys at him he started to come outside and get into my face. About that time, his women told him to get back inside.
Needless to say, the asshole didn't pay for the damages and it would have basically been my word against his so I just paid for the damages myself.
Not to be negative, but I would have called the police as soon as I saw that it happened before going over to his place to confront him.
And yeah, he definitely is an a-hole for reacting like that. He has insurance too... he should have just manned up and admitted his wrong doing.

You said and I quote:His life was proof, that it ain't always awesome. Do you agree?can you imagine how awesome their lives must be
NBA career
Despite his outstanding stats at Seton Hall, questions about his at ude made him slip to the 7th pick of the 2001 NBA Draft, where he was selected by the New Jersey Nets. Griffin's draft rights were immediately traded to the Houston Rockets for Jason Collins, Brandon Armstrong, and the rights to Richard Jefferson.
In his rookie year during the 2001–02 season, Griffin played in 73 games (starting 24) while averaging 8.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.84 blocks per game (ranking 13th in the NBA in that category). He followed with another solid year in 2002–03, averaging 8.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.44 blocks per contest.
However, Griffin suffered from alcoholism, and his troubles piled up quickly over the following year. In December 2003, the Rockets released him after he missed practices and a team flight. Griffin signed with the Nets in January 2004, but missed the entire 2003-04 season when he entered an alcohol rehabilitation center.
Prior to the 2004–05 season, the Timberwolves signed Griffin to a one-year contract, and for that season he put up roughly the same numbers he had in his two previous seasons. The Timberwolves re-signed Griffin for three years (player option in the third), starting with the 2005–06 season. Griffin had a relatively significant drop off in scoring and rebounding (whilst suffering only a slight drop in minutes per game), while averaging a career-high in blocks per game (2.11).
In 2006, Griffin was involved a car accident in which he rammed his SUV into a parked car. He was allegedly watching pornographic videos and masturbating at the time of the incident. This came shortly after a stop-off at a nearby convenience store where a security video tape caught Griffin professing his intoxication.[4]
In March 2007, Griffin was released by the Timberwolves, who had grown tired of his at ude and off-court troubles. [5]
Death
Eddie Griffin died as a result of a car crash on August 17, 2007 at about 1:30 a.m.[6] Houston police said in a report that Griffin ignored a railroad warning and went through a barrier before striking a moving train. The resulting fire burned Griffin's SUV and the side of a railcar carrying plastic granules.[6] Griffin's body was badly burned and there was no initial identification. Dental records later revealed the man was Griffin. He had more than three times the legal alcohol limit in his system when he crashed, according to an autopsy report. The Harris County Medical Examiner's office said the 25-year-old Griffin died of "multiple blunt force injuries." The medical examiner's office performed tests on Griffin's bile and blood from his heart and liver and determined his blood-alcohol level was 0.26. The legal limit in Texas is 0.08. Tests found no traces of cocaine, barbiturates or any other narcotics.[7] Former Timberwolves coach Dwane Casey said he had not talked to Griffin in five or six months, but he knew that Griffin was spending the summer trying to get back in shape to play in Europe the next season.[8] He was buried in Northwood Cemetery in Philadelphia.[9] He is survived by a 3-year-old daughter named Amaree.[10]
The only nba player I've ever met was Antonio Daniels at some gym here on the southside of SA. We kept on telling him to dunk but he was being a and didn't want to.
george hill lives right next to that HEB on 281 and evans. he lives 4 houses down from me. derrick dial (very short stint as a spur) also used to live in the same neighborhood. ive also seen jacque vaughn at the HEB on 281 and evans.
couple years back at the IHOP at 1604 and 281 I saw this NICE white mercedes in the parking lot. I opened the door to go inside and out of the corner of my eye saw someone behind me so i held the door open. I turned around to see Timmy, Holy ish is that guy tall. He was real cool, it was like 1:00 in the morning after a game and he sat a couple tables down, the whole place was empty. He had an omelette, it looked good i think it had ham in it.
I lived/worked in the DC Metro area for 15 years, and only saw one player, 7ft+ George Muresan at Pentagon City Mall. Believe me, he wasn't hard to spot.
I just think the DC Metro area (Northern VA, DC, Maryland) is just bigger with more secluded, gated communities. And the traffic out there is terrible, if I had any money, I'd probably send somebody to get my groceries etc.
I agree, plus you have like 10 million people in the metro area there. SA has less than 2 million, and almost all of the Spurs live on the Northside.
Ounce Steakhouse in Stone Oak is the spot for player sightings this year. Large groups of players and families in there all the time.
I have seen him a few times in the Bentley as well.
I have also seen Pop at the cleaners and the gas station around the practice facility. I use to see Matt bonner driving every morning to practice also.
u must live in da hood
Yeah, getting ed out by his girl.
I used to work at Regal Northwoods movie theater back in 2002 and many spurs players would go there. But I will never forget the first time I saw Duncan.
I was the one who was ripping the tickets and would tell them where there theater is. Well it was a Saturday night and it was busy and there were long lines, I would have my head down most of the time just grabbing a ticket, ripping it and the people would be on their way.
Then i hear a familiar voice and i see a huge hand giving me a ticket, before even ripping it, i look up and timmy is chatting it up with amy and some friends and my jaw dropped. After a few seconds, i ripped the ticket, told him where the theater was, told him to enjoy his movie of course and i kept his ticket stub and i still have it haha!
I just looked at him as he walked into the theater (he watched the Sum of all Fears) and i was ignoring the next person in line. It was great
yeah, what's up with the IHOP. although i did see elliott and rodman on separate occassions at la fogata.
We have worked with many nfl and nba teams and george Hill stands out big time . He is very very down to earth and not only is he our customer hes a of a good friend . This guy doesnt forget where he came from .
