That's awesome!
While I am proud to say I've never seen this film before, I also didn't know this guy was Duncan's roommate. This (for me at least) finally solves the inexplicable reason Tim Duncan was at the premiere of 'Meet Dave'

This is about as Hollywood as you’ll ever see Tim Duncan go.
There is a deleted scene in the 2007 movie The Jane Austen Book Club where the character Dean Drummond goes on a humorous tirade about Tim Duncan. The fun behind this scene is that the actor who plays Drummond is actually Marc Blucas, one of Duncan’s former teammates at Wake Forest. In fact, Blucas was at San Antonio’s first round home playoff games against the Dallas Mavericks.

"Is there something going on between you and Tim Duncan?"
This is gold.
I'm in school's computer room, I'll get to it when I get home.
That was great. "Ooh let me dribble between my legs and shoot some ing jumpshots."
(Secretly, I ing love it when Timmy acts like a guard, dribbles between his legs, and nails a banker in someone's face.
"Camaro-driving second-place finisher mother*bleep*"
LOL...I've seen Blucas in a lot of stuff before, but never knew he played ball, much less on Timmy's WF team.
The funny thing is that he sounds just like an ST poster.
that's hilarious
Camaro drivin', 2nd place finishin' mother er!
Great stuff

Good to see the video.
It's funny because it pretty accurately (albeit jokingly) describes Tim's decline and could've been a rant pulled directly out of any number of SpursTalk posts.So it's funny because a Spur is mentioned ?
Meh...........
http://www.wral.com/news/local/blogpost/1832173/Blucas, a chatty mix of enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and self-examination, knew he was right for the part as soon as he read the script. Not simply because he empathized with the character, or because he meshed with Emily Blunt, the actress who plays his wife, a high school French teacher and member of the book club.
Rather, Blucas knew he belonged because the bit of dialogue he read at his audition involved Tim Duncan, a former Demon Deacon teammate. The character spouts off regarding San Antonio’s prospects in the NBA finals, predicting a four-game sweep, five games if the Spurs grow overconfident. “It isn’t going to go seven unless Tim Duncan gets hit by an asteroid,” he says.
Blucas laughed when he read the line, and laughs again as he recalls it. “Tim is my best friend, so I called him immediately," he says. "I’m like, ‘You can’t believe this stuff. You’re mentioned in this script. I have to get this job.’”
Mission accomplished. Blucas not only got the part in his 21st film -- the fourth to be released in 2007 following After Sex, Thr3e and The Killing Floor – but convinced writer/director Robin Swicord to film a practical joke aimed at Duncan.
After delivering the line about the asteroid, Blucas, portraying a Spurs fan, inserted dialogue intended for his one-man audience. “I went on about a 2-minute rant where I completely dismantle his game,” Blucas says with relish. His voice takes on a slightly higher, lilting tone: “’Yo, I’m 6-11, but I just want to dribble through my legs and shoot jumpshots like a guard.’”
Later, Duncan came west to play against the L.A. Lakers and dropped by the set to watch the bogus clip. When Blucas’ character began swearing, Duncan, a laconic sort in public, looked questioningly at his friend. The room full of film folks burst into laughter.
“It was the greatest gag ever,” says Blucas. “It was hilarious.” He says the out-take is included on the DVD of the film.
I think that guy posts here as ruff. Lol, half of ruffs posts when mentioning Duncan complains that he doesn't use his best post moves.
And this is the first time I've heard Tim labeled tropical. He is tropical like Blair is a finesse player.
lmao so hilariously true

Tim is called tropical cause of where he grew up.
Some great stuff and I bet Tim loved it too.
Sounded like half the posters on here.
