Tim Duncan Begins Summer Job At Apple Genius Bar



SAN ANTONIO—Spurs center Tim Duncan returned to his summer job at the Apple Store Genius Bar Monday, where he provided technical support during his eight-hour shift by diagnosing problems, troubleshooting software issues, and repairing people's computers, iPhones, and iPods. "I can't stress to our customers enough that they really need to make multiple backups of their data," said Duncan, who has worked at the San Pedro Avenue location for the past three summers. "A lot of times we can retrieve files from a crashed hard drive, but you shouldn't rely on that. Also, you can increase the battery life of your laptop if you shut it down when you're transporting it from one place to another." Duncan has also offered to take a shift for fellow Apple Genius David Atwood on Saturday, saying it would be a shame for his coworker to miss Game 3 of the Nuggets-Mavericks Western Conference Semifinals.

Somebody over there must really be a Spurs fan. Or just finds Duncan to be an easy target.

Tim Duncan Staring At Wall Right Now Onion Sports

SAN ANTONIO—Two-time NBA MVP Tim Duncan has been sitting in his living room next to his packed gym bag and clad in his Spurs warm-up jersey for the past three months, concerned teammates reported Monday. "I called him several times and he didn't pick up," said guard Tony Parker. "And when I got worried enough to go look through his window, I saw him just sitting there. I'm pretty sure he's conscious and not in any pain, but it doesn't look like he's moved since late June." The Spurs front office confirmed that Duncan requested a call at midnight on Oct. 1 to ensure he did not miss the first day of training camp.

I just don't get this one. I've read Onion stuff, and I get Onion stuff, and I've read funny Onion stuff before, but it's almost like with this one they had a funny idea, but didn't execute it properly.

So in other words, this one just isn't funny to me.

This one is somewhat funny:

This one is pretty funny but maybe a little too long:

I remember reading one that was really, really hilarious but it might have been a Manu one...
