Happy trails to the Big Fundamental and his all-time great NBA career. As much as us sporting nerds like to make fun of him for having the least flava of any NBA star (see top 10 highlight reel which features only 2 different types of plays), its hard not to respect a man that made all NBA and all defensive team honors in each of his first 13 seasons (only player ever). No one seemed to nail Duncan quite as well as the satire pros @ The Onion...some of their best titles below:
"Tim Duncan Calls Out Geometric Angle Needed To Make Bank Shot"
"Tim Duncan Hams It Up For Crowd By Arching Left Eyebrow Slightly"
"Tim Duncan Announces Shoe Deal With Florsheim"
"Tim Duncan Urges Teammates To Be Patient With Frequent Flyer Miles"
"Tim Duncan Forwards Story About Particle Accelerator To Spurs Teammates"
"Tim Duncan Argues Theory Of Infinite Divisibility Prevents Any Team From Winning Championship"
"Citing Battle Of Agincourt, Tim Duncan Urges Lakers Not To Get Too Discouraged By Game 1 Loss"
"Tim Duncan Urges All-Stars To Use Inside Voice During Game"
"Tim Duncan Busy At San Antonio Zoning Office Planning Spurs Championship Parade Route"
"Tim Duncan Reports 5th Straight Successful New Year's Resolution"
"Tim Duncan: An NBA Legend Rides Into The Sunset At A Safe And Prudent Speed"
Maybe my pipe dream of the Spurs finally being garbage is on the horizon after TD's locker room presence evaporates. Maybe Popovic will be exposed as nothing more than Mike Brown's puppet. Of course, even if San Antonio implodes Pop will always have his looks to fall back on.
"Both teams played hard...goodnight and godbless."
