That said, the question was whether Duncan realizes he might eventually need to do this to extend his career, for the sake of the Spurs (longterm) and for the sake of Blair's development...
People don't realize that the Robinson made a conscious choice to pass the torch to Duncan, a choice to get less touches and to concede being the focal point of the offense, while he still had some game in him (before his back injury)... for the sake of Duncan's development... despite Duncan's greatness... Robinson instead shifted his focus on defense.
If only Dejuan were at least 4 inches taller...
