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!! 😊

Tim Duncan was just picked up as a player development coach for Victor Wembanyama by the Spurs. Someone in Dallas needs to send this video to Luka

Tim Duncan is/was the most fundamental basketball player ever. He wasn't fancy dribbling or amazing passing. He kept it simple and it worked.

Its the reason why he's called the Big Fundamental

[@MeisterKit]

who's here because they miss timmy?

[@Shaneorinodin]

Man😢

[@h2hass]

I’m so fucking sad

[@LucidFlameX]

One of a kind. Miss this dude. I hope Wemby takes after him in terms of oncourt demeanor.
