Duncan's Fave Five Spurs

[tsb2000]

I would have put Gervin in. He's one of the coolest people to ever wear the silver and black. He is, after all, the Iceman.

[Kori Ellis]

with the way Bowen has played why would he mention Bowen?

Because he was talking about his friends, and he's close friends with Bowen.

[Marcus Bryant]

Holy Mother of God who gives a ? I could care less if he said his best friends were Mark Cuban and Kobe.

You know a season is going downhill when who Duncan hangs out with off the court isn't good enough for Spurs fans.

AD and Malik are Duncan's two best friends. He had to say Tony and Manu or else there'd be revolts in the country of whichever one he left off. And Robinson was a no-brainer.

Not much to analyze here.

Why wouldn't he be sincere in naming Tony and Manu, he obviously respects their games and became close with them, or and was grateful for them to play alongside with him.

I think you analyzed it right there in that post. I don't think Tim plays political. Those ARE his favorite Spurs, he doesn't have to pick with other people's responses in mind. The announcer dude already called him out for picking his friends in a camaraderie since, instead of Top Spurs.

His list to me, seems to be the players he would jump in a foxhole with, if you're gonna read into his reasons. So I don't think there was any hesitance in picking both Tony and Manu. Screw the public outcries.

Sean? Why would he pick Sean? They played one 50 game season together, plus scraps of others as Sean attempted his comeback(s). The players he listed he played a minimum of 4 seasons with.

yup, agreed. No close bond. Hours and hours of ps2 w/ Daniels and Malik.
DROB was a big brother figure and Manu and Tony are his only teammates giving him support this year. Plus, he could only name 5.
