This is actually perfect.
Nope I cried last night after watching highlights. Might cry again after typing this..

Yeah, it's going to be tough to let go of that guy for us even. Can you imagine being his coach for 20 years and close? Wow.
Anyone else noticed the difference between Kobe's retirement articles/speeches from coaches players and broadcasters etc? There is so much sadness and talk about not just the great basketballer he is but of the great man he is, what he has done for people and the community, how much he was loved and how much he will be missed. There is so much genuine sadness there.
Kobe's year long farewell tour had people only focus on his basketball skills and I hardly heard anyone mention his off court stuff, relationships and that he was such a nice guy and team mate and touched peoples lives. I guess that's the difference when one is an egotistical, narcissist and the other is a genuine kind, caring and likeable person. Anyway, just saying the tone of Tim's retirement is so much different and rightfully so. So much more emotion's for the big fella and the tributes more touching. There will never be another one quite like Tim Duncan.

Guys, I can't.
One thing that I thought about deeply today that is out of all the top 10 great players of all time Tim was probably the only guy who wasn't a Diva. Jordan,Magic,Jabbar,Lebron they all tended to have Diva like issues despite being GOATs. Tim on the other hand never brought any negative baggage with him. I think this is the thing in my eyes that hurts the most in the sense the Spurs could end up in the future lucking out getting another generational player but what's the odds that he won't have some negative baggage to deal with.
man, I teared up a couple of times reading these tweets, watching the videos of Pop and highlights of Timmy's career but it's not like the guy died. Why does it all feel so final? It probably sucks more because we know how private he is and we'll rarely ever see him again. I think if we knew he was turning into a coach or something who's more on camera, it would be easier. But I guess it's even more emotional as a Spurs fan because he was the franchise and he was very well liked and unassuming unlike other stars of his stature. TD was truly one of a kind.
these things always sound like eulogies.

Just read this to my wife - we keep talking about how this feels like a damn eulogy.man, I teared up a couple of times reading these tweets, watching the videos of Pop and highlights of Timmy's career but it's not like the guy died.

Make sure to listen to his interview tomorrow with his best friend - I don't think we'll get much more than that.
Great post man, thanks.
I definitely feel where you are coming from. I could accept it once the spurs announced the retirement but then the pain set in once I saw all the tweets by players and like you said it started to feel like a funeral.Pop made it feel worse when he spoke like he was delivering a eulogy. I guess it hurts so bad because we will probably not see Tim ever again at least not in a longtime. I think he will be a recluse much like Russell and Jabbar was after they retired.man, I teared up a couple of times reading these tweets, watching the videos of Pop and highlights of Timmy's career but it's not like the guy died.

Cowturd is a ing clown. Shows how little you need to truly know to actually work in sports radio.
I don't take guys like Cowherd or Stephen A seriously ever because they are sycophants. One thing I have noticed about all the media guys who hated Duncan is they all tend to be sycophants. Sycophants tend to hate people who refuse to allow them access to their lives. Duncan was never going to give them access hence the hatred.
Why even post something like that. You thank any spurs fan wants to here that bs.
I just can't come to peace with him finish with only 5 les, I'm devestating!
KAT seems to be that kind of guy too
Imagine twenty or thirty years from now when two or three generations of NBA fans never saw prime Kobe or Timmy. At that point, Tim's achievements will be truly appreciated. These Kobe supporters are victims of the moment but numbers don't lie. Tim did more winning than anyone since Bill Russell. MJ has one more ring but the same amount of finals appearances. History is going to love Tim and not Kobe. To Spurs fans getting offended by people like Colin Cow , that sentiment will be lost to time.
When someone goes out of their way to say things like that, they usually know their position is weak. Kobefans are so desperate to convince people that Bryant = Jordan, they tear down everyone else. They've been doing it to Lebron for a decade.
Great Video. By far the best I've seen. Brilliantly edited, great choice of Music, great look as well.
Guys, I can't.
Great find, timtonymanu
Who's cutting onions tbh.
Guys, I can't.
