Fixed...but a nightmare for any fan who appreciates And1 mix tapes like a Quart of Mad Dog 20/20. Most fans want some fizz, something that makes one say, "Gangsta mothaf***a!" not a drink that requires intelligence to appreciate its flavor.
If you read this tirade
(http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_yl...nnsi&type=lgns)
youll find that, according to Forrester, Tim Duncan is one of "NBA self inflicted wounds" and damage the league's reputation !?!?

10. Tim Duncan Can you think of a time you've actually looked forward to watching a Spurs game in the Duncan era? Yes, he wins. Yes, he's a stand-up guy. But, man, is he boring. From his fundamental use of his body and the backboard to his gray-colored quotes to the media, Duncan is a dream for coaches and PR staff but a nightmare for any fan who doesn't appreciate basketball like fine wine. Most fans want some fizz, something that makes one say, "Wow!" not a nuanced drink that puts them to sleep.

Is this Paul Forrester a jerk, or what?

I love fine wine. There's never enough.
Right because what you want for the league is thugs clearing benches brawling night in and night out. Thats the kinda fizz that really gets peoples attention and truly makes a player great. What a ing joke. Tim wins championships, he doesnt need to give two s what anybody other than his teammates,coaching staff, and owner think. Its a sad fact that to be noticed and celebrated as a great player in the nba, you have to be outlandish or carry a thug swagger into every game. Lost is player that goes about his business and does everything right, including winning.
I think if you don't pay enough attention Duncan can certainly appear to be boring, but if you watch him enough, and have a taste for his type of humor, he's actually got quite the personality...
And watching him play is far from boring, sure he's no Michael Jordan but his skills are still impressive...
I must be the only one who thinks Duncan is exciting!
Duncan is boring and im sure many Spurs fans know that but it doesnt mean he isnt the best player in the league.
Personally i dont find many big men in the NBA 'exciting' (maybe Amare and Dwight) but they arent meant be exciting. The guards are the flashy ones in the NBA but it doesnt mean they impact the game anymore than big men.
There is a reason Duncan is called 'the big fundamental' and not 'flash'. Duncan does what it takes to win but how can people expect a 7 footer to be exciting? They cant do flashy dunks or do tricky ball handling tricks (like killer crossovers etc)
If you ask me i think Shaq is the most boring star in the league, what else can he do but two handed dunks and the occasional hook shot?
If you give a 5-year-old a sip of expensive Bordeaux, he probably won't like it. He wants to drink Kool-Aid or Coke.
If you wiki my high school, for notable recent graduates, they mention some girl who posed in Playboy, but not the guy who clerked for Antonin Scalia.
Same principle.
First off, let me say that Tim Duncan is my favorite player hands-down, and that I love watching him play.
The thing that I can't understand is how Tim Duncan's intrinsic lack of "fizz" matters matters that much at to the overall enjoyment to watching basketball. Basketball is a team sport. I enjoy watching good teams; any team Tim Duncan is on is going to be good, if not great. I don't how or why people watch the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Boston Celtics, or the 76ers. LeBron, Pierce, and Iverson are good players, but watching a whole game of terrible team basketball just to see one or two fantastic plays from superstars is my idea of a snoozefest. The 76ers might be the most boring team in all of sports over the past few years this side of Mali's waterpolo team.
This again. Who gives a damn anymore? This guy could have just recycled countless other articles spouting off about the same thing year after year, but to say that Tim damages the leagues reputation? Ridiculous.
This is an easily noticeable attempt to stir up some . He must have had a slide in number of readers who give a about his writing.
I just read the article, and I feel ashamed for doing it.
He actually has Tim Duncan being boring in a list of things that hurt the NBA with such notables as the Palace brawl,
Kobe's rape case, the Latrell Sprewell choking incident, and the "jailblazers" era.
I'm pissed at myself for even reading it.
this is the exact type of mentality David Stern is concerned with. I'm sure this guy would consider a shootout with guns an exciting game.
If fans are soooo hung up on watching some one with "fizz" then they are going to bet bored watching the game altogether. A player cannot be "fizz" all the time. What an offensive argument
htf is tim duncans low post moves, bank shots, turn around hooks, take it in the lane are boring? this jackass doesnt know about bball.
lets phitb, yeh put him in the butt
mad dog's the you racist bas
Boring? Yes. Champion? Yes.
Champion beats boring anyday.
Forrester is re ed.
White trash drinks it too!!!
What a bunch of bull . If people don't like watching Tim Duncan's game, then why the does he keep getting voted into the All-Star game as a starter? Case closed. Paul Forrester is a moron.
Most of this Duncan takes is because of where he plays. If he was winning 3 les with the Knicks or the Lakers the boring lable would not be heard nearly as much. You can't win anymore with the media anyway. If you play the game the right way and stay out of trouble, you are boring. If you challenge authority and play with flash you are labeled a lousy role model.
Boring? Yes. Champion? Yes.
Champion beats boring anyday.
Don't worry. It'll be exciting once we're in the finals.
Bull
timmy should stick to paintball.
The national media has been labeling Duncan and the Spurs "boring" for years. Nothing new here. For some reason, they have a problem with teams that play good fundamental basketball.
I think this says it all
