That one ain't too bad. Not great but hey, it's an exception to the rule that they are generally lame as hell.

Kids don't have big enough backboards in their school yards and at home and never learn to use glass like they should.

Of course Duncan is not oriented as "athletic" but rather as "skilled". That's why his prime will be extended moreso probably than people like LeBron, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, Amare Stoudemire, etc. who will have to figure out ways to compensate (with skill) when their athleticism erodes away. That's why Sam Cassell can still play, his game is centered on skills like mid-range shooting and changing speeds, and just being fearless and clutch. That's why he Timmy is called "The Big Fundamental". And he will have a longer-lasting era of domination thanks to the fact he does not rely on his "athleticism". He is one of the all-time greats who will be very effective even after his "prime" years have passed. The real question is who will he pass the torch to? R.C. Buford thinks that guy may be Ian Mahinmi, a guy who led The Austin Toros to the D-League Finals this season and will be rejoining the Spurs roster next season.
