Bill Simmons on Duncan..

[hater]

the celtic fan

Bill is the first guy with a pretty big mouthpiece to not give a about the espn agenda. He's gonna call a spade a spade be it tanking, officiating, players fake persona, etc.

I remember before the spurs spurs v Lakers 2008, he mentioned something along the lines of the nba was not gonna let San Antonio win the series no matter what, and that there would be a really bad obvious call in the Lakers favor that would change the series. Then Fisher on Barry happened .

Nothing most of us couldn't of predicted, but we don't work for ESPN. He's a breath of fresh air from the usual mouthpieces like Stephen A, Greeny, Cowherd always touting the company line.



Inb4: Manu was hurt, the tarmac, blah blah blah, yes I know.

[Raven]

i like him.

[Drachen]

I think this is where the perceived Spur hate comes from. He doesn't really hate the Spurs...he just can't let go of what could've been in Boston.

He even admits that it's better for Duncan and the league that he wound up with the spurs because of Rick pitino.
