Didn't KG bitch-slapped Duncan back then. I'm sure you remember that. But I kinda agree with this article. Duncan is a no-nonsense motherfucker that is so good at what he does, he doesn't have to scream like a bitch to show that he is badass. To illustrate an example: Scenario A: Eddie House With his team down by 20, Eddie House shoots a 3 in garbage time. Eddie House taunts the bench of the opposing team and celebrates like he won the MVP. Scenario B: Tim Duncan: Tim Duncan averages 25 and 10 in the FINALS and won the championship, and almost got a fucking quadruple double in the final game. Tim Duncan acts like it's just another day in the office, that he was only doing what he was paid to do. If that was Eddie House, he would have popped a vein and his head would have exploded. PS: Fuck Eddie House. ‘Ask yourself this: Who has ever punked Tim Duncan?’

Duncan is a no-nonsense motherfucker that is so good at what he does, he doesn’t have to scream like a bitch to show that he is badass.

To illustrate an example:

Scenario A: Eddie House

With his team down by 20, Eddie House shoots a 3 in garbage time. Eddie House taunts the bench of the opposing team and celebrates like he won the MVP.

Scenario B: Tim Duncan:

Tim Duncan averages 25 and 10 in the FINALS and won the championship, and almost got a fucking quadruple double in the final game. Tim Duncan acts like it’s just another day in the office, that he was only doing what he was paid to do.

If that was Eddie House, he would have popped a vein and his head would have exploded.

PS: Fuck Eddie House.

It's just that you'll also see some people say Malone, Sir Charles, or someone of that caliber, too. I'm witcha, 100%. @ Doc

Duncan's response? Authoritatively sending one back on Lebron in the 1st quarter of Game 1 of the Finals. Tim Duncan isn't demonstrative, but he is spectacularly methodical and extremely cold-blooded. @ #33 & #35 — Lebron got Duncan in a regular season game at the start of the 06-07 season, and when the teams met in the Finals in 2007, there was much buzz about that dunk and the fact that Lebron kept a picture in his locker.
