Best 20 some odd years of my life as a fan. Tears in my eyes when I see all those wonderful memories. And now, Victor Wembanyama has been handed the torch here in San Antonio. And we look forward to new memories and honoring the old.

Kobe and Shaq had a conversation in 1999 after getting past the 1st round. Kobe: Are u ready? Shaq: For what? Kobe: This boy we're seeing in the next round. Shaq: Robinson? Kobe: Nah, the other one Shaq: He's soft Kobe: I've been watching him all year and he's a problem that you're going to have to deal with. Shaq sort of waved it off.

Timmy never really spoke out loud about his work ethic or really anything like Kobe did. So Kobe’s Mamba Mentality gets praised so much when Tim Duncan is over here being a silent assassin. Tim was a player that would also take things personally on the court and dominate them like he did with Demarcus Cousins. KG hated that he could never get in Timmy’s head. What other hall of fame top 10 players favorite thing outside of basketball is Dungeons and Dragons😂 and Tim didn’t even start playing organized basketball until he was 14.

People don't think or forget about Tim Duncan because he was never flashy. He was just straight basketball and I completely agree with Shaq.

I been a Spurs fan since 89 and we always had a pretty good team but in 96 we had our worse season ever. We got Timmy the next year. Im so grateful we got him because he gave me sheer pleasure for dam near 20 years. He was a instant sensation. After we loss to Utah in the playoffs i knew then we was a championship contender and when we won in 1999. Its been a championship mindset every year. Do you know how good that feels to have a team that good for almost 20 years expecting nba title every year? A feeling that i haven't felt in a while now. Usually if your team is ok your just hoping they can make it out the first round or past this team. With the Spurs and Duncan i was expecting nothing less then a nba championship. We got 5 in about 17 years with Duncan. Probably should have won 7 or 8 but hey ill take it. Anyway Duncan will always be the best power forward in my era 😊

Really, only the Patriots and Yankees know what that feels like. And the Yankees haven't been in that territory for a long time. And they just do things the right way. Man, I love the Spurs.

Great video, Sean, Duncan was a lot of fun to watch, as odd as that sounds. I remember one play where he was about 10 feet from the hoop and a rebound bounced out to him. He took the ball in the air with one hand and flipped it to Boris Diaw under the rim for an easy 2. It wasn't a spectacular play in the way that we often think of, but it was just soooooo smart, so heads up. It achieved that magical feat of being spectacular without being spectacular. And I remember thinking at the time that Bill Russell probably loved that play more than anyone else who saw it. As for Steve Kerr's statement that Duncan was the best two-way player? Well, if Kerr meant for the bigs, I'd say that Olajuwon and Chamberlain might have something to say about THAT, but Duncan is definitly up there.

He’s criminally underrated, and genuinely I think that no one would’ve been able to replace him I think if you put dirk on that team he would’ve brought more scoring yes but it would’ve taken away shots from Tony Parker, manu and everyone else. Plus dirk wasn’t as impactful on defense as Tim Duncan was. KG was fantastic on defense, and rebounding, but I don’t think he had as deep of a post bag as Duncan did and wasn’t as patient as Duncan was, and I don’t think that spurs system would’ve worked as well with KG there either.

My all-time PF and Center would be Duncan and Olajuwon. They would be interchangeable and they are the two post players that could do it all in any era. Defense, Scoring, Rebounding, foot work, quickness, shooting, etc. The best all-around post players to ever play.

Respect to Charles for saying that big respect to Charles

Shaq is so right. I love Manu, respect Tony. But Timmy is a true superstar cuz everything revolved around him with no other superstars on his level. He also covers his team defensively. Lebron feared Tim Duncan. I honestly think he knows TD is a more dominant player than he is

The Big Fundamental was truly great in what he did on the court... I'm a SPURS fan ever since Elliott was drafted but Duncan was the steal of the draft and made what the SPURS who they were...

Kerr also coached Tim Duncan. Well, he was in the Spurs coaching staff, but I'm not really sure anyone coached Tim in the NBA lol

The man was just so pure in his game that you didn't even realize he had a wild stat line. There were so many games that I'd look up near the end of his game and he had like 30pt 15reb 7ast 2stl 6blk, and you say when did all that happen!
