Duncan's PER was over 20 every year but last year. Only player with PER over 20 for 18 seasons.

Last year Duncan led the league in Defensive Box +/-.

Career per 36:
20.1
11.5
3.2
2.3

So long Tim. For you Spurs fans - what do you think he does post 40? Coach? Analyst? San Antonio City Council?

Thanks to Tim, I got to watch the Spurs win two of their titles in person. We all owe Tim a lot of gratitude -- he was a winner, stuck with us after being courted by Orlando, was a team guy and left this team in great shape. If he didn't think there was a better option than himself, he would have come back, but he's a Spurs/team guy.

Thanks, Timmy.

I don't know about pot, but he does like D&D, comics, games, cars and his kids. He still owns his Blackjack Speed Shop, right?

I don't think so. Kobe has said before that he was jealous that Tim got to play his entire career (19 years) under a single great coach.

I want a statue of Timmy at the At&t center. Preferably one near the main entrance of him and his kids like they're walking in to watch a game.

I don't think so either.

I hope every team presents Pop with some bull**** retirement award to give Duncan next year and Pop has to pretend to care about receiving it and make up an excuse to why Duncan wasn't there to receive it personally.

I can't believe someone keeps that stat. But now that I've seen it... what are the qualifications? Obviously layups don't count, but does it have to be jumpers past a certain range or do runners/floaters count? It must count free throws if Howard is there.

I have no clue. But imagine how many banks Duncan would have if they counted 98-03. Something close to infinity.

I wonder what other stats are kept that aren't passed on to the general public.

The Reddit thread for this has a few amazing replies.

Ex1
So his 19-year NBA career was just field research.


Ex2
"Subject A called me a 'good for nothing mother****er'. Will be pulling off bank shots to see if attitude will change.

Hypothesis: after 15 consecutive bank shots, Subject A will refrain from conveying negative insults towards me and rest of San Antonio Spurs team.

Result: Hypothesis wrong; 8 bank shots caused subject to become deflated.

Conclusion: will need 999 more games to yield more accurate results regarding the relation between bank shots and demoralizing test subjects.

A collection of Onion articles:
Tim Duncan: An NBA Legend Rides Into The Sunset At A Safe And Prudent Speed

NBA fans are buzzing after word leaked that, in his autobiography "My Slam Dunk Life," Spurs forward Tim Duncan would claim to have had supportive friendships with more than 10,000 women in the course of his 14-year NBA career.

From the press conference:

"I'm trying to wrap my head around why I'm here and he's not." -Pop
"People who know me, know I wouldn't be here without Tim Duncan...I'd be (coaching) in a Budweiser league somewhere in America."
"I would not be here if it wasn't for Tim Duncan...he's made livings for hundreds of us."
