He wrote a chapter in a psychology book. You can tell he had figured things out from a young age. Came into the league saying he isn’t impressed by MJ, because he isn’t impressed by any man.
Funner fact. He didn’t play basketball until 12th grade, he was a star on the country day dolphins swim team and on St. Dunstans school volleyball team, St. Dunstans Episcopal school is the school we attended. He has always beeem very quiet, not in a weird way, just quiet.
Amen. I was a Laker fan that went to SA before TD arrived and enjoyed watching Kobe n D-Fish cry on the bench. But oh man that .04 from D-Fish 😅😅😅 good times 🤘
@@jeffhelton3364 true story. I was watching that game with two of my high school friends that were King stands. And they were getting on my head because we were losing because Tim Duncan just hit a big shot. And then Derek Fisher hit that shot with 0.4 seconds left and I went crazy crazy
Kobe and Duncan..the Western Conference usually ran through those two players..their play styles completely different..their personalities completely different..a fierce rivalry between the two teams..yet both had the highest love and respect for one another..I miss those two 🐐🐐
Both workaholics too. Neither one ever came to camp out of shape or out of practice-just ready to go first day. There’s lot of talk about Mamba Mentality. But honestly, I’d want a Big Fundamental Mentality as much if not more!
@@ericadamcik8039absolute true. both leaders, both all time greats, both ran the division, both had 5 rings in the same era. people act like there’s only one way to be great, but there’s many
Good to know that everyone universally loves Tim Duncan. Im sure someone out there doesn’t but hear gotta be one of the most liked NBA players of all time.
The spurs were definitely a super team. 5 HOF. Duncan, the Admiral, Horry, Parker & Ginobli. Not to mention all the other great players. They were the patriots of the nba.
Man I hated Timmy and the Spurs growing up, the were the last team to knock out the Seattle Sonics from the playoffs in 2005. It took me until my 30's to appreciate and realize how great this man is 👍🏼
Same bro..I used to to hate the spurs and it's trio...but as years passed I realised these were the real bosses.Doing exactly what their getting paid for.A true definition of being professional.
U know how many championships he probably kept from my lakers? Lol i hated them growing up it wasnt until about 2010 that i really appreciated how good td and the spurs dynasty was. I mean my lakers had gone from shaq to rebuild and then back to the top then we got old and became a lottery team and the spurs and duncan were still going strong winning titles. Respect to them 🫡
That's exactly how I felt too, I only started appreciating him and the Spurs from about 2010 when they were battling with the big 3 Heat... Coincidentally I started to learn more about the game then, before I thought it was all about athleticism.
I felt that way too and the way he did most of my favorite centers I really couldn't stand that dude but as I got older I understood him better and we both studied the same thing and it does piss off a person when hardly or don't react to them lol.
I always respected Timmy D. even when repeatedly beating our Grizz. I ran into him on the street here in MEM when Spurs were in town. Let him know I was a Grizz fan but respected his game and he was super cool and kind which made it even more difficult for me to ever root against him.
I was and still a huge Tim Duncan fan. His demeanor is what attracted me to him. I noticed he wasn't a trash talker he let his game speak for him. I really miss him and his game.
The thing about trash talking is it is supposed to rattle your opponents. If it doesn't work then it is like uno reverse and it rattles the trash talker for not getting the reaction they want.
That's Tim for real! I remember playing ball with him in the Virgin Islands. Heard about him causing a stir in Wake Forest, but only met and played with him at the rec center. This was around 91 & nobody wanted to guard him it was ridiculous and he was laughing his ass off. We enjoyed our game that night, I also wish we had phone cameras then!! From a swimmer to a basketball player.... real VI legend!🇻🇮👑💪🏾💪🏾
It’s hilarious listening to Garnett and Cousins bonding from their nightmares of Tim Duncan lol. Duncan was a psychology major in college so he knew how to handle different types of behaviors
As a short point guard in high school, I really admired and studied Tim Duncan's fundamentals in the post game which really improved my low post game, his character as explained with guys that faced him is big props to him.
Tim was a phenomenal player. So respectful in his game;on and off the court. And truly classic and serene the way he retired. He didnt want nothing easy given to him. Got to respect that 👏🏼
Thank you for putting the links to the used clips, it makes it so much easier to find them this way. Im not a huge podcast person so I appreciate you taking the time to clip these together and not need to jump around to find everything. Keep up the great work.
I really enjoy the combination of interviews, clips, and music to make a narrative that the title lives up to. More like watching a program than just clips.
Tim Duncan had killer instinct, he’d stare into your soul and crush your spirits , he killed Miami in 2014 all while guaranteeing the spurs would finish them (heat) in 4 , he’d go on to beat them in 5 games with the biggest point differential in nba history
@@codyeble0713 without a doubt they played team ball , but Tim’s determination and leadership got them there , he also avg a double double for the series
2014, Still the best finals ever to me. Spurs crushed Miami with wonderful Team basketball. Never understand why they said Spurs was boring. To me they played the most beautiful basketball I have ever seen.
Greatest power forward of all time. Loved Garnett and Karl Malone was up there, but Tim was the best. Five rings! The Spurs could not get over the hump with Robinson until they had Tim Duncan.
I find it criminal how Tim Duncan at least isn't in the discussion for the GOAT, most people only say LeBron, Kobe, Kareem and MJ. He has the accolades, winning factor, leadership and overall complete game. He was so damn consistent, kudos to Mr fundamental
kobe is usually never in GOAT convos except for casuals, and players who have played with him/watched him play and tried to copy him, and respect his mentality so much that they throw in emotions and it kinda clouds their judgement. he's always outside top 5 but easily in the top 10
Shaq nailed it early in Duncan's career when he called him The Big Fundamental or Mr. Fundamentals whatever it was. Nothing flashy, just 20+/10+ most nights. Hall of Fame player for sure. I hated him since college when he gave my Tar Heels fits, but always respected and admired his game.
Gotta say though Timmy D got an infectious smile/laughter. When he got tossed for getting his 2nd tech for laughing I laughed my ass off because it was effin ridiculous and Tim's look of surprise was one for the ages.
Loved it when he came to Wake. He was a perfect fit for Odom's style of coaching. Tim made me a Spurs fan. Always thought it was cool that Wake and SA had similar colored uniforms.
Man, I was a student at NC State and he wrecked us hard. Carmichael was never as quiet as that day in 97 when he came in and rolled us. The only other time I remember someone killing us that badly as to shut us up was when FSU came in and Warrick Dunn decided that he was going to show the world that he was Warrick Dunn.
Tim Duncan has put on some of the most, if not the most, dominating performances at both ends of the court , that I have ever seen. He would put on clinics, and text book. He was really hard core , stayed in the zone for multiple games in a row. Literally , against anybody, if it looked like he was zoning, they threw him the ball. In the zone, he was money anywhere inside 17' , and also beyond. He was not a one or two trick pony, he had complete total , big man, game inside , not flashy but just straight dominance. Literally no nonsense , no games, just focus , hustle, execute. A coach's dream player from day 1.
Tim's humility is the only thing that keeps him from being mentioned in top 3 all time. I'm a die hard spurs fan so he's always been up there for me, but glad other people see it too.
Tim Duncan is, in my opinion, the best power forward ever to play the game-and in the top 5 players period. Elegant, surgical, remarkably consistent. True champion and authentic. With the exception of Garnett, Kobe and a few others, he was a stallion playing with show poines. I miss his game.
My mirror! as a frustrated amateur basketvall player i always watched him to learn, studied him, emulated his bank shot, he was a teacher at tv giving us a clinic of basketball everygame
Duncan never showed his emotions during the highs and because of that, you never knew when he was going through and lows. Watching him was truly a master class in psychology warfare.
I’m a suns fan, so it’s hard to say. But I’m happy spurs got victor w. Pop and Duncan are the perfect coaches to get the very best out that 7’6” monster. Dude is going to be fun to watch.
@calvintipene9831 true cause he's highly rated by most everyone but not talked about in the discussions. He'll be on everyone's list when it's made but his name ain't talked about
Timmy is a Top 10 all-time player (#8 on my list), and one of the best people, teammates and leaders to ever step on the court. To see Popovich getting emotional as he talks about Duncan speaks volumes.
Not a fan of any NBA team, but since started watching the NBA in '05, I can say that Timmy is the best basketball player since 2005 career wise. Even in his 38 to 40's he was still effective in playing the Center position and defended the paint really well. Just extraordinary.
The most reliable big man ever. Used to hate him because of being a pistons fan. But man he’s become one of my favorite players of all time, he’d be my first pick of big men because how complete home is in all aspects of his game and character. 💯
Given that his opponents are trying to elicit a reaction from him, he remained calm and collected so that no energy is wasted by clapping back and let his game do the talking instead. Tim is such a sensational basketball player that doesn't need to trash talk or be flashy.
Had the pleasure to watch David Robinson and Tim Duncan play. They have me almost 20 years of being excited every season with the reality of winning a NBA championship. Thats rare for a team to be a threat to win a NBA championship for almost 20 years. Now we got Wemby. Whooo hoooo!! 😊
This is the example of a man in complete control of his GAME and his EMOTIONS. He did not have to fabricate hype, he just killed you with his skills and mental capacity to control everything.
Timmy is one of my favorite all time players. I agree, if you don't have him in your top 5 then its just a popularity contest. Most of the guys you would put ahead of him lost to him. Greatest player of his generation. He was always the most dominant player on the court.
The most underrated All Time Great player ever! He could have gotten more recognition if he wanted. He just wanted to win. 1 missed Kawhi free throw from 6-0 in the Finals
Tim Duncan always been my dude I use the same approach against haters I let them talk trash I stay quiet & get the job done then talk to them like nothing ever happened 😂that really pisses them off
Was at a movie theater and in line to buy ticket Tim was right behind me, they were sold out and he said I bet I get to the next theater before you and the race was on. He won and waived at me in the theater! SO cool!!!
Tim Duncan was like some Shaolin monk playing basketball. No one could perturb his focus and calmness. Such an admirable quality.
" Do you think your WuTang style can defeat me."
They fit perfectly with pops and the spurs.
He was a class act player in the NBA.
his nickname in the Japanese basketball community is "The Stone Buddha" because he rarely showed emotion on the court
He laughed on the bench and got a tech cuz the ref was probably shocked
A lot of people don’t know this but while he spent four years of college basketball at wake forest Tim Duncan earned a degree in psychology
He wrote a chapter in a psychology book.
You can tell he had figured things out from a young age. Came into the league saying he isn’t impressed by MJ, because he isn’t impressed by any man.
So did ever other sorority girl that ever existed.

This is the example of a man in complete control of his GAME and his EMOTIONS. He did not have to fabricate hype, he just killed you with his skills and mental capacity to control everything.
Timmy is one of my favorite all time players. I agree, if you don't have him in your top 5 then its just a popularity contest. Most of the guys you would put ahead of him lost to him. Greatest player of his generation. He was always the most dominant player on the court.
Hearing Pop talk about Tim duncan like that really warmed my heart
“I don’t wanna hear no top 5 without Tim Duncan in it.” 😭
As a long time Spurs fan, I remember watching Pop's interview at 2:05 live and a tear falling down my cheek. Thanks for the great memories TD21.
The most underrated All Time Great player ever! He could have gotten more recognition if he wanted. He just wanted to win. 1 missed Kawhi free throw from 6-0 in the Finals
Tim Duncan always been my dude I use the same approach against haters I let them talk trash I stay quiet & get the job done then talk to them like nothing ever happened 😂that really pisses them off
“This muthafuuuuucka”😂😂😂 I know every forward felt that way at some point throughout the 2000s lol
Tim, Admiral, Coach Pop they elevated the whole game
One of a kind. Miss this dude. I hope Wemby takes after him in terms of oncourt demeanor.
It's says a lot to be a great player AND a great person.....
who's here because they miss timmy?
Man😢
I’m so fucking sad
Was at a movie theater and in line to buy ticket Tim was right behind me, they were sold out and he said I bet I get to the next theater before you and the race was on. He won and waived at me in the theater! SO cool!!!
