Tim Duncan, With Emotion AND 3-Point Range

sussman — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 18:40:00 EDT

This is about as pumped as I've ever seen Tim Duncan, and the fella has as many national championships as Derek Jeter. And yet ... in Game 1, of Series 1, in 2008, he lets loose into the sky with a free-flailing yippee-yahoo fist pump. I guess when Robert Horry's no longer on the team, someone has to attempt those shots. More »

We Congratulate The Spurs On Their Fourth Title

Leitch — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 10:30:13 EDT

Well, it's certainly starting to look like we're all witnesses to Tim Duncan methodically steamrolling to his fourth NBA title. (That would tie him with Shaq, by the way.) What was most distressing about the Spurs' 103-92 Game 2 win over the Cavaliers last night was that it was over so early; the outcome was not only never in doubt, it was never even in consideration. It seemed over from the opening tip. Even Spurs fans are having trouble keeping their attention. More »

Postseason Finally Begins For The Mavericks

And things just got a little more difficult. The Mavs have just tasted defeat for the first time in the postseason, losing Game One of their highly-anticipated series against the Spurs, 87-85. Tim Duncan, creaky old man with the bum ankle, went for 31 points and 13 boards. Jerry Stackhouse led the Mavs with 24, as Dirk Nowitzki was held to 20 points on 8-of-20 shooting. No word on what the loss did to the size of Mark Cuban's penis.It came down to one 14-second possession for the Mavs, in need of two points to force overtime. Dirk Nowitzki was hassled by Bruce Bowen, and he couldn't get a shot off. He went cross-court to Jerry Stackhouse, Manu Ginobili tipped the pass, bought the Spurs some time, and pinned Stackhouse in the corner, forcing an airball as time expired.I thought the Spurs might have been a little vulnerable today, given the 36-hour rest, the travel, and the physical six-game series, but then again, the Mavs have had a long layoff themselves. Regardless, both teams played Game One at a pretty high level, and this has the potential to really be an incredible series.Spurs 87, Mavericks 85 [ESPN.com] Mark Cuban Would Like To Remind You Who, In Fact, He Is [Deadspin] More »

Leitch — Thu, 17 Nov 2005 15:30:40 EST

In today's second installment of athlete run-in stories, we present a portrayal of Spurs all-world star Tim Duncan, from the olden days, back before he became the Mr. Nice Guy Stud that he is today. We find this story immensely fun just because it's the exact opposite of what pretty much everyone has always thought about Duncan. It comes to us from someone named "Johnny Lazz." Here's an excerpt, with the full story after the jump. More »
