I was living the single life and pimpin' away at my apartment when I saw San Antonio get the #1 draft pick.
The day Duncan was drafted, where were you? What were you doing and what was your reaction when you heard?

I was at a baby shower. All the fellas eyes were glued to the tube.
Probably something bad. Seriously, probably goofing off. I don't remember. I wasn't a huge sports fan 10 years ago. I've always liked sports, but I could miss some games then...NOT NOW!!! Same question?
in my living room praying that lightning would strike twice.
In Algebra class
I was packing up things in my apartment, preparing to drive from Lubbock, Texas to Rumson, New Jersey to work for the summer. I had a TV on, but wasn't watching the lottery at all, figuring the Celtics would end up with the #1 pick. I made a trip out to the car, and was packing another box when I heard the announcement.
Cant remember...I was only 8 years old.
planning to go downtown in front of the Alamo to greet him
I don't even remember what I did yesterday!
damn I was just 18. experimenting with everything especially college chicks....
why did u have to remind me??
what were you doing in Lubbock?
My wife and I had just moved into our first home. We were thinking, "Duncan...that's cool...good pick."
Little did we know at the time...
I was playing N64. I was only 4.
i was only 8 yrs old but i remember watching it in the living with my dad and he went crazy when we got that first pick ;its pretty cool when i look back on it now
Telling Spurs fans somewhere on the internets to Believe, while thinking that Chauncey Billups or Ron Mercer () would be good contingency plans if the Spurs didn't get the #1 pick.
When I heard "and the second pick goes to the ... New Jersey Nets" I jumped down the stairs, celebrated, went outside to see if I could dunk that day, came back inside to get on the internets, joined a live chat with Sam Schuler of the Spurs on ESPN.com and changed my name to Tim-Duncan-For-MVP.
Been riding the wave of that lottery ball bounce ever since

I was in my living room in Baton Rouge. I'm usually pretty optimistic but figured Boston was a lock for the #1. I was happy to be wrong.
I was in watching TV in my apartment and when I heard the second pick goes to the New Jersey Nets, I was shocked. Stunned with repeated sayings of "Oh my God!". then "Yes!"
I was 7 years old and I was sad that the Rockets were beat in the Playoffs, Barkely was a favorite player of mine and so was Drexler/Olajuwon.
I had resigned myself to the fact that we were gonna get Chauncey Billups, so I went outside to water my mom's plants. My next door neighbor yelled to me that we got the #1 pick, so I stopped watering the plants and went back inside.
Jumping up and down in front of my TV set, screaming like a loon..
One thing I remember was watching "Real Sports" on HBO and they had a piece on Tim Duncan while he was at Wake Forest and I thought - and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought this - was, "Wouldn't it be cool if he came here?"
I didn't hold much stock on that thought at the time.
What % did the spurs have in the lottery that year?
Watched the draft at a friend's house with some other Spurs fans, one of whom was convinced the Spurs should have picked Van Horn.
