Time to call it a career.
Greatest PF to ever play the game, and top 5 center if you want to call him a center.
What happened ? Did the wheels fall off ?
He was done a few years ago (See ** Zach Randolph ownage) but without a season in 2011, its all but official. The big man loses a 20+ Million paycheck. Hopefully he'll get the proper acknowledgement when the NBA stuff gets revolved.
Yeah pretty much over now, would have loved to see him go out like D Rob but thats not possible being we don't have a younger version of Timmay on this team at allJust ilke that it's over, from 4 les and countless awards to old and probably ready to retire damnit. What a sad day.
ty way for him to go out.
Another year wasted and this time it's thanks to cheap ass Holt.
damn could well be it for the spurs franchise winning for a min. no tim duncan?!? damn its been a great ride
What are you talking about? You are talking like he's going out like Shaq or Hakeem. He can still average 10 to 15 points a game. He's getting close to done but not yet.
Greatest pf of all-time and player of the decade. Can't ask for more than that.
He absolutely, positively CAN'T go out like this. It's just not right. There HAS to be at least a ing 50 game season, even if it's just for him. I don't wanna see Tim or Kobe or any of the other veterans be forced to retire because of a dumbass lockout.....
I am sure Kobe will hate the 6 > 5 thing though! Being his idol and the dude he immulates he has no shot at catching at the moment. I am sure it burns slowly.
BTW you say the same stuff in every thread bro, it's tired.I agree, the year off with that being said will hurt Dirk too! He is getting up there in age, Kidd should just retire and Terry will be old as well! Kobe is not getting any younger, when the NBA resumes then what? You might just see a completely different league to say the least.
Russell, Robinson, Malone, or Ewing was better?
Dude, you're a complete idiot.What happened ? Did the wheels fall off ?

Thank you, Tim Duncan for 13 years of excellence. You helped lead this franchise to heights never seen previously to your arrival. The Spurs franchise, fans and your former teammates all owe you a debt of gra ude. A 20-10 machine in his prime and one of the 10 greatest NBA players of all-time.
1997-2011
I think the effort to have Duncan play more center has mostly hurt him. After Oberto, Nesterovic/Mohammed the Spurs should have been looking for a real center who can rebounds and block shots to relieve Duncan. It would have saved him some wear and tear trying to grab every rebound and block every shot. He also could take his time and score over power forwards he's taller than. I don't doubt if Randolph had been defending him he could have probably still gotten 20 and 10. Instead the Spurs have him playing against longer and taller centers that he has always struggled against like Marc Gasol this year. (Remember Desagna Diop in '06 owned Duncan in the game 7 overtime)
People counter that he's not quick enough to play PF but Dallas has always insisted on Dirk playing PF and he's a worse defender than Duncan. Plus Stoudemire averaged 37 against Duncan in '05. Duncan defense has always depended on fundamentals and not outjumping or outquicking the other player. Ideally the Spurs would have gotten a center like Tyson Chandler that can defend 4/5. Right now Duncan tends to defend the easier 4/5 but ends up playing alot of help defense. That burned the Spurs against the Grizzlies where Gasol shouldn't have been helped off as much.
This is true there, but you mention the game 7? When he had to get an IV afterwards? Thats more fatigue, he played the whole game and used his all during that game and had nothing left, he was spent! I agree on most of that though, great post there.
ehh. he wouldnt retire without a proper send off.
what's a proper sendoff.
this is Duncan we are talking about. he don't give a about no sendoff.

LOL
If Giuseppe continues posting trash in the Spurs forum, he won't be able to post in the Spurs forum. The fact that I deleted your first post in this thread should have given you a clue.
Nailed to the tree of Woj again... smh
I did sense that something was missing, but, I couldn't figure it.
Ok, baby girl, I'll vamoose upon your decree. I don't want you to start treating an old man brand new.
