NBA Legends Explain Why Tim Duncan is The Great Power Forward of all Time

Tim Duncan can give you 30 pts 15rbs and 5 blocks without you realizing he dominated the whole game. He was absolutely incredible!

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.

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.

Tim averaged 18 pts, 10.7 rebs, and 1.5 blocks in his 13th season.

Remember in 03 when Ginoboli side stepped him on the way to the basket 😂😂😂

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
