'Greatest power forward of all time,' Shaq told us upon learning that Duncan is officially walking away from the Spurs after collecting five rings during 19 steely seasons.
Tim Duncan retires after 19 seasonsĪfter 19 seasons and five NBA titles in San Antonio, Tim Duncan is calling it a career.
It's also why we asked one of his foremost foils, famed for dubbing Duncan 'The Big Fundamental,' to say a few words on Timmy's behalf - even though Shaquille O'Neal admits to ESPN that he has 'never' had an in-depth conversation with the ever-reserved center of the San Antonio Spurs' universe. It couldn't be much more Duncanesque to learn that Gregg Popovich will host a news conference Tuesday afternoon in Duncan's honor. SURELY YOU DON'T expect Tim Duncan to suddenly get reflective on us and rewind through all the highs and lows of a career abruptly halted by the quoteless retirement declaration made on his behalf Monday.
