Tim Duncan is ESPN's Defensive Player of the Month

[tmtcsc]

Timmy's reaction to the news:

[Richie]

a sort of lifetime achievement DPOY for Timmy is fitting in 2016..You have Gobert out of the race apparently..Kawhi/Draymond/Whiteside are the other legit candidate..Kiwi wouldn't mind TD geting one and our league leading team D should be taken into consideration..

The problem is that most fans would write it off as a 'lifetime achievement award' when in reality he has a good argument for being the best defensive player in the league this year.

[EVAY]

Great for Timmy!!!!!

[urunobili]

I still dream TD getting a DPOY award TBH

[HI-FI]

Timeless gif.

Feel lucky to get the opportunity to spend almost 20 years watching the greatest power forward of all time.

[Kool Bob Love]

There will NEVER be another Timmy Duncan.

[Cry Havoc]

I'm very seriously considering this alteration for my all-time list:

1. Jordan
2. Duncan
3. Kareem

[SAGirl]

Looks like we got another long in town

[Seventyniner]

So Tim is the best defensive player in the league and Kobe is the worst offensive player in the league.

All is right with the world.

Greatest defender ever?

Looks like he's listening in on the other team coach drawing up plays from the other side of the court. that's probably exactly what's he's doing.

this made me laugh

Greatest of His Time

[tholdren]

Sometimes you watch Timmy and he does seem too slow, his PnR defense is suspect and guards seem to duck around him easy sometimes. Then you watch some of these other teams' bigs and realize they all suck and a slow, 40 year old Duncan is still way better than they are at defense.

I dun give a chit what people say.

Tim is my number 1. better than MJ.

He won 4 different ways including the 2003 solo effort, twin towers, big 3 and the team ball.

And thats with playing Goat level defense. Just ask Harden how hard it is to play D and O

Why would I ask someone that who's never played D a day in his life?

Crazy good stuff from old man riverwalk

[Nathan89]

Tim's numbers would've been so sick if he was playing in this modern style of basketball his whole career. At the same time he would be anchoring the best defense.

[YGWHI]

There aren't enough words in the world to describe Tim Duncan

[Leetonidas]

This is what happens when spurs aren't relying on him offensively at all and he can focus primarily on defense.
