Tim Duncan, With Emotion AND 3-Point Range

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.

San Antonio won 117-115 in double overtime to take the 1-0 series lead. Timothy Duncan finished with a cool ranch 40 points. Stay tuned for Game 2, when more rarities surface: Shaquille O'Neal makes a 3-point shot. Bruce Bowen helps up the guy he just knocked down. And Steve Nash guards someone.

(Ok, this is the last post of the day. Unless...)
