Today, we want to dedicate this show 43 00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.879 to a legendary power Forward Slash Center that really changed 44 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.719 the game here in San Antonio thanks to the likes 45 00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.360 of David Robinson, who was one of his mentors on 46 00:02:52.520 --> 00:03:00.280 the show. Today is all about mister Tim. 47 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:06.719 Duncan, wearing number twenty one for his. 48 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.000 Career here in San Antonio. Out of Wake Forest, Tim 49 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.400 Duncan put up nineteen points a game, almost eleven rebounds, 50 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.639 three assists, and his accolades go on and on to 51 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.919 the break of gone, just like the nineties music in 52 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:24.840 the background. Fifteen time All NBA, fifteen time All Defensive, 53 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.560 ninety seven, ninety eight All Rookie, ninety seven, ninety eight 54 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.800 Rookie of the Year, a three time Finals MVP, and 55 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:37.039 in ninety nine two thousand he was the League MVP, 56 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:42.879 two time MVP as well, and also he was on 57 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:47.520 the list for the NBA's seventy fifth anniversary team. Today 58 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.120 on the show, we talk about the legendary Timmy Tim 59 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.520 Duncan on the show, and also there's been a lot 60 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.639 of talk lately about is Tim Duncan one of the 61 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.240 greatest of all time in the NBA. Reggie Miller had 62 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.159 mentioned it on one of the shows. We'll play that 63 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.159 clip coming up on the show here. Also we'll get 64 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:09.520 into some of that fun trash talk that Tim Duncan 65 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.680 and KG got into. I love those clips. I can't 66 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.039 wait to play those for you guys here today. And 67 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.480 of course we have the great speech that Tony Parker 68 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.240 did at the Hall of Fame ceremony coming up a 69 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.560 little bit on the show. But let's talk about Tim 70 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:29.399 Duncan being the goat in the NBA. The goat. His numbers, 71 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.279 as we suggested earlier to introduce him on the show, 72 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:37.480 may not sound like the numbers of the goat like 73 00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:42.480 Michael Jordan, Lebron James, and many others. But the five rings, 74 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.600 the six NBA Finals appearances, and let's put it this way. 75 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.560 We always forget NBA fans and Spurs fans. The Spurs 76 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.399 just missed out. I'm winning more than just that five 77 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.120 rings in six appearances. And what I mean by that 78 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.199 is in two thousand and four and in two thousand 79 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.319 and six, the Spurs just missed out on five peating. 80 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:11.000 I want you to keep that in perspective. NBA fans, 81 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.639 we won and O three, we won, an O five, 82 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:21.920 we won an O seven. Put that in perspective. One 83 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.800 of the most winningest organizations in playoff history in the 84 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.360 NBA was because of Tim Duncan in that span. In 85 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.879 the two thousand, Duncan and the Spurs teams were one 86 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.160 of the most elite clubs in the league. They went 87 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:41.319 up against the likes of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal. 88 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.240 They had a tough run in the two thousands, and 89 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:49.519 they almost five petd. This is why Tim Duncan is 90 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.279 in the conversation of one of the greatest of all time. 91 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.000 Here's what Reggie Miller had to say about it on 92 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:58.360 one of the shows. 93 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.519 I mean, people forget about Tim dunk good. Is he 94 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:02.360 the greatest effort? 95 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.480 No? No, great, Oh, he's definitely the greatest plowerforms. 96 00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:08.560 We're not doing that. 97 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:15.160 We're not doing five rings, three m vps all defensive 98 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.040 player for ten plus years. We know his resume. 99 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:20.439 I can name you ten other guys that you got 100 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.199 to put in that conversation if you're going to. 101 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:22.720 Go to that fall. 102 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:27.000 Who will Will has won two championship? 103 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:27.800 Right? No, I didn't know. 104 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.920 We judged his champmons. Yes, and that's not how you 105 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.839 judge Oh, yes, that's not how we judged. You don't 106 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:37.360 judge greatness, not on not on how many championships you won. 107 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:46.160 Even if that's the criteria, though, run team. 108 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.480 Let's talk about let's get into that conversations Tim Duncan 109 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.600 in that conversation. First foremost, Mark Jackson shouldn't be saying ish, 110 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.759 all right, he fell in a lucky stars, but you didn't. 111 00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.240 Let's let's hunt the brakes for a moment. Had great 112 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.160 run Goldie into the reasons because he had a Steph Curry, 113 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.560 he had Ky Thompson, he had a young team there 114 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.639 to help carry his load. Let's pump the brakes on 115 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.319 his stats as well. And yes, Mark Jackson, I'm calling 116 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.439 you out, mister nine points a game and you were 117 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:18.279 a good NBA player, You were probably average. Your best 118 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.160 season was your second year as a Knick at sixteen 119 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:24.399 points a game, almost seven assists. Then the next year 120 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.079 you dropped off by almost seven points. For him to 121 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.879 sit here and not say that, Tim Duncan is in 122 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.120 the goat conversation of talking go back to the stat 123 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.800 I just said they'd missed a five peet by two years. 124 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:40.600 Where were you, Mark Jackson, in the mix of all 125 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:44.519 that bumping around from league to league, trying to hang 126 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.079 on to a career that was dying. I don't think 127 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:52.879 Mark Jackson has any right to speak when it comes 128 00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:56.959 to Tim Duncan or anybody like Kobe Bryant. He is 129 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.480 up Lebron James ass crack. Though he loved some Lebron James. 130 00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:06.000 He does. He loves him so much. And it's so 131 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.920 funny the people that played against like Jordan and played 132 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.319 against Kobe, and they watch Lebron and they said, here, oh, 133 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.439 Jordan is not the greatest, it's Lebron. You didn't play 134 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.199 against Lebron. The reason why you say this is because 135 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.920 you got your ass whooped against those players playing and simple. 136 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.839 But about Tim Duncan today, Mark Jackson really calls him out. 137 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.879 And I think Reggie Miller did a great job, you know, 138 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:32.600 presenting Tim Duncan as the goat. And some of you 139 00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.440 out there today in NBA Land and not just Spurs 140 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.080 family Land, are sitting there saying the same thing. Mark 141 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:41.000 Jackson has no way, no way, Listen. I'm an old 142 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.799 basketball ahead too. I don't go all the way back 143 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.879 to Bill Russell, and I do respect Bill Russell, but 144 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.200 the best player on his team was Bob Coosey. He 145 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:50.559 was the face of the league. 146 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:50.799 At the time. 147 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.559 And I know what you guys are gonna say, always racism. 148 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.200 Back then, he had to battle all this and that 149 00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.320 and things of that nature. Stop pulling the race card. 150 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.200 We know how great Bill russ was on and off 151 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.759 the court. We know how great Bill Russell is as 152 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.120 a man. I love Bill Russell. I do. He's one 153 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.639 of my favorite players of all time. Yes, I'm not 154 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.000 that old, but guess what, I pay homage to the 155 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.159 history of this sport. And that's the problem right now 156 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.159 in this sport is we forget about the history. You 157 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.039 want to look at what's in front of you. We'll 158 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.639 look behind you, look behind you at some of the 159 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.440 greats that were in this league. Bill Russell, though, was 160 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:31.519 on a great team as well. He had a couple 161 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.200 players on that team that were a little bit better 162 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:38.000 at the time. Bill Russell also had to battle the 163 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:41.600 likes of Wilt Chamberlain. Will Chamberlain one of the greatest 164 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.960 of all time. So let's talk about that. Would you 165 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:53.279 put Bill Russell above Tim Duncan stat wise, yes, ring wise, 166 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.480 If you're going up against rings and people are saying, 167 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.840 like Mark Jackson, well, if you want to measure rings, 168 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.600 then Will Chamberlain or Bill Russell's the greatest of all time. 169 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.480 I agree, I agree, but I also agree with Reggie 170 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.200 saying he may not have been the best player on 171 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.919 his team in those ten rings. You will never see 172 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:19.279 anyone eclipse ten rings. Never five. Six was pretty close. 173 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.919 I don't think you'll ever see five again. I don't. 174 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:29.399 Maybe maybe with Wemby, maybe the five rings is a 175 00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:32.200 lot and we forget. I go back to that stat 176 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.600 two years from being a five peat, which never happened 177 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:42.039 in the NBA. That's a dominant team. Duncan was a 178 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:46.039 dominant player. Duncan was such a dominant player. You had 179 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.200 some great players like KG try to trash talk them. 180 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.759 Check this out. Was there someone that you loved, you 181 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.399 knew that motherfucker back it up and talk it to you? 182 00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:59.200 Maybe or not, y'all or Tim Duncan, Tim Duncan shock, 183 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:03.600 Timmy Duncan. HIBB would not see him verbally saying stuff 184 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:09.159 because he wasn't talking sentences. He did freeze TI to me, 185 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.360 we'll hit you in phrases, got you almost. 186 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:15.960 Just the worst? 187 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:22.039 Why here nice?

That's what he 191 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:36.480 did on the court, trash talking play wise. This is 192 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.960 how I teach my kids today. There's so many kids 193 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.399 out there that want to do these crossovers and in 194 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.200 and out moves, and they hit these shots and they 195 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.679 do the ooh, ice water in my veins. Well there 196 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.000 was the first one you hit out of probably fifteen, 197 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.120 by the way. Okay, and I know you're six, but 198 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:55.279 calm down with the trash talk. Parents, Stop letting your 199 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:56.240 kids trash talk. 200 00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:57.919 Just stop. 201 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.360 It's a YMC, a rec league for one. Okay, Sorry, 202 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.360 I had to get a shameless plug in there. My 203 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:09.600 Spurs fans out there, but uh, Timmy wasn't that player. 204 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:12.120 He wasn't a trash talk type player. And the Spurs 205 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.720 are not a trash talk type organization. That's why it 206 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:19.360 was very interesting to see us grab somebody like a 207 00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:23.440 Stephen Jackson, a Dennis Rodman, you know, somebody that's super 208 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.200 ultra tough that runs their mouth from time to time. 209 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:32.840 It didn't fit the organization. Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Tony 210 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.759 Parker Mano Jenoblain. We're gonna have some shows dedicated to 211 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:40.039 them in July as well.

You had the Big Aristotle 243 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:37.519 just whatever big after that when in front of Shack 244 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.000 you could pretty much call Shack Dat the Big Pepperoni 245 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:44.080 because he invests in pizza now and you know, the 246 00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:47.159 back big Shakarnie, whatever you want to call. He decided 247 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.399 to call Tim Duncan the Big Fundamental, and he's just that. 248 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.440 Tim Duncle was with very mister Fundamental. I loved watching 249 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.639 the way he moved and you know, what spurs fans. 250 00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.559 You want to laugh at me. When we first drafted 251 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:03.000 Tim dunc and, I was like, what, huh. I was 252 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:06.799 like Kendrick Lamar, I'm like, huh what. I wasn't a 253 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:10.039 big fan of Tim Duncan. I wasn't And a lot 254 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.399 of people are like, oh, my goodness, are you serious? 255 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:14.840 Because I came from the era of the Johnny Moore 256 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:16.919 is the Alvin Robbinson's David Robinson. 257 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:18.080 I love David. 258 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.480 It was almost like if you were a John Elway 259 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:25.840 fan and David Robinson is John Elway and you're like, oh, 260 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:30.360 here comes Tim Duncan, the replacement. Huh, he's the replacement. Well, 261 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:32.759 I'll be honest with you, just like everybody else once 262 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.559 we started winning those rings, like this guy's great, He's fantastic. 263 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:38.519 Tim Duncan.

That's why we're dedicating today's show to you. 265 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.120 But is he the greatest of all time? I believe 266 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:46.879 he's in the top ten. He should be in the 267 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:49.840 discussion of just that. But what I love is I 268 00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:53.440 found another audio clip off of YouTube.

With any team, KG was almost always 299 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:23.519 a big, a big game. 300 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:25.440 Let me listen. 301 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:26.079 KG. 302 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:32.000 KG used to like he had more antics dogged him. 303 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.119 I don't know, like maybe because you guys were about 304 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:36.160 the same size, Like he didn't do that shit to you. 305 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.680 I don't know, but like he talked the most shit. 306 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:41.160 And like I remember one time he hit me with 307 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:43.640 like a bow, like to see what I was gonna do, 308 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:44.880 like you know what I mean, just trying to kind 309 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:46.720 of like punk you a little bit. And so the 310 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:48.640 next time I came down, I fired one right in 311 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.640 his ribs and he looked at me like he left 312 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:55.039 me alone after that, but like that that's who he is, right, 313 00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:56.319 Like that's what he tried to do. 314 00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:59.880 Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's done that a lot. 315 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.200 Will test you early for who you are, right and 316 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:08.559 depending on your response, Yeah, you get a certain type 317 00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:10.279 of response from him later on. 318 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:11.200 Yes, exactly. 319 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:17.000 Those those individuals who came down and fired back at 320 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:20.759 some point, Bill usually left him alone and give him 321 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:21.519 a little more leeway. 322 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:24.680 He said that you, he said that you. It would 323 00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:27.720 frustrate him the most. That he would talk all his ship, 324 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.680 but she would smile and say like good job and 325 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.880 stuff like that would piss him off the most. Why 326 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:39.279 would you never engage in trash talk tim with him? 327 00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:43.039 Because that's what he wanted. Okay, that's what he wanted. 328 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:45.839 He wanted to get you outside of yourself. He wanted 329 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.480 to piss you off and kind of control the situation. 330 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:53.519 And I guess I recognize that. Plus it wasn't part 331 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:56.839 of my game like it would. It would frustrate people 332 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:00.279 more when you just keep coming and coming, and I mean, 333 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.000 just keep getting things done and no matter what they 334 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:06.119 throw at you or no matter what they do, it's 335 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:09.880 just just it doesn't affect you, and it kind of 336 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:13.599 it ends up affecting them much more than it does you. 337 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:15.240 So that was my way. 338 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.960 That was my uh, what I figured out to be 339 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.079 most effective, and it hit with my game Like I 340 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:24.000 didn't I didn't have to trash talk. 341 00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:24.960 I didn't need to trash talk. 342 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.279 I wasn't. I wasn't good at it. 343 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.160 So I was just about to ask you if you 344 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:30.359 were even good at doing it? 345 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.119 Yeah, yeah, So my mind more thing is just like 346 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.160 kind of poked there just kind of kind of pokeing 347 00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.680 a little bit and bro them off a little bit 348 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:42.079 and then they react and poking again. 349 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:44.119 First of all, I talked no shit either, because I'd 350 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:46.000 have been like to do either. Be like you too, 351 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:48.319 Like I was just getting bad at that, Like I 352 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:49.960 wasn't gonna be any good at that, so I couldn't 353 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.440 do that. But he to me that I remember this 354 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:54.359 ship we were. We were like, I was across from 355 00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:58.519 our bench in San Antonio, like swing, swing to the corner. 356 00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:00.720 Tim's on a late close out right, So I'm like, 357 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:02.720 this shit is cash.

It keeps going down the 362 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:12.680 other way, and I'm like. 363 00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:13.519 You know. 364 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:20.039 Some more great stories about Tim Duncan and Tim Duncan's 365 00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:24.119 greatness on the court, and also the trash talking aspect, 366 00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:26.160 we talk a little bit about that today. Will actually 367 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.799 probably have a little bit of show dedicated to trash talking. 368 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.720 Some of the greatest, some reasons to do it, not 369 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:36.799 to do it, but Tim Duncan really gave me some 370 00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:39.799 inspiration during the show to give to my kids this 371 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:43.480 upcoming summer session at the YMCA. I am a coach. 372 00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:47.200 I actually coached the seven eight year olds and I 373 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:50.880 also coach the nine tens. I absolutely love it. I 374 00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:53.880 want to thank the San Antonio Spurs organization, the San 375 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:58.680 Antonio Spurs Youth Basketball League here in the city. They 376 00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:02.279 do a great job honoring these kids who play, and 377 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:05.920 they also raise these kids to be non trash talkers. 378 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:11.920 And Tim Duncan should give a class on how to 379 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:16.680 trash talk without trash talking. I love that. I tell 380 00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:18.720 my kids just give him a big thumbs up when 381 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.920 they start talking, go yeah, dude, you're awesome. You're awesome. 382 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:25.279 You're going places, and they look at you like wait 383 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:28.640 a minute. You know, and as being a follower of 384 00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:32.440 Christ myself, hey, you're shedding the light upon a dark 385 00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:34.680 spot and they do not know how to react, and 386 00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:37.920 Tim Duncan did just that. He's like, hey, you know, 387 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:43.880 tough shot, better lick next time. Tim Duncan one of 388 00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:47.720 the greatest of all time. And what did Tony Parker 389 00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:51.039 have to say about him in his Hall of Fame speech? 390 00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:53.400 Did they get along early on? Did they get along? 391 00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:54.079 Let's find out. 392 00:21:54.240 --> 00:22:00.160 Timmy don't like French people. Okay, he doesn't like my 393 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:04.319 French accent. My rookie year. Timmy didn't talk to me 394 00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:07.519 my rookie year. And people think I'm crazy when I 395 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:09.640 say that, but it's true. I play with a lot 396 00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:12.279 of teammates who will complain to get the ball. You know. 397 00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:16.799 Bruce Bowen like, oh, Tony, I'm open, Tony. I was 398 00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:19.440 open in the corner, you know. I'm like, but hey, 399 00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:23.000 what's up, Bruce. But Timmy will just look at me 400 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:25.200 and I'll go to Pop. I'm like, Pop, you give 401 00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:28.000
