It’s so weird to see Tim run so fast and able to jump higher than a shoebox, haven’t seen him play like that since 2006 lol

Why do these videos have better quality than the NBA videos of 99-03 when Duncan played with the Spurs?

[@jonisafreak3]

These are remastered the nba refuses to remaster and catalogue old content, its mindblowing.

[@beebopoped4720]

@@jonisafreak3 why nba won't remaster video?

[@jonisafreak3]

@@beebopoped4720 because to remaster old video it takes a lot of time and money they have to go through old footage and restore it piece by piece, thousands of footage. I wish the nfl and nba would do what WWE has done which is make a streaming platform for all the old footage that people can pay 10 to 15 bucks a month for. NBA and NFL are sitting on free cash but they refuse to do it.

[@sameerk6306]

The real answer is because the early to mid 90s was recorded on film while the early 00s NBA was digital.

You stand correct. To me Duncan was ready to go Sophomore year as a lottery pick and decided to stay all 4 years, you don't see it as often. I'll do it in reverse 1974-1996 where players didn't leave college. Starting in 1974 you have Bill Walton, Bobby Jones, Jamal Wilkes, David Thompson, Robert Parish, Alex English, Dennis Johnson, Jack Sikma, Larry Bird, Maurice Cheeks, Sidney Moncrief, Kevin McHale, John Stockton, Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin, Joe Dumars, David Robinson, Scottie Pippen, Reggie Miller, Mitch Richmond, Gary Payton, Dikembe Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning and Grant Hill. I picked out Hall of Famers from that 22 year Window. My point its far and few between you see players stay till their senior years and have a successful career or Hall of Fame career. Also glad players leave early to get their money. If you noticed I said One of the last 4 year stars in College, not the last.

I genuinely thought Camby at UMass was better big than Duncan at Wake Forest... way more explosive around the rim, a better team defender... it's just Camby's athleticism for his build may have contributed to his injury problems so he was nothing more than a rim protector who can rebound a bit in the NBA. Duncan never changed the way he played and made the right decision playing his senior year (based on his junior year, he probably would have been picked around the 3rd-7th pick in '96) when then-GM Popovich fired Bob Hill and made himself coach so that he can tank the '97 season hoping to get Duncan.
