2025 NBA Season

Duncan and Kobe's careers Put Bird and Magic's to shame.

I'm not talking stats, but career wise and longevity.

Larry Bird had back problems and Magic got Aids. 
Can't really control the 2 and well maybe the aids but back probs nah.

Also 1 of these players you listed is not like the other.

-snip-

Tim Duncan retires as all-time Spurs leader in:
· Points: 26,496
· Rebounds: 15,091
· Blocks: 3,020
· Games: 1,392

One of the greatest players I've ever seen play and hands down a candidate for the best leader the NBA has ever seen. Certified top ten player of all time! First Kobe and now Duncan Who's next in line?

He is also one of the greatest players that I have seen and you can have nothing but respect for that man and for what he has done for the sport and his club.
I do not know who is going to be next in line but I think we will seen it soon enough.

Haha correct. Also facilities are better today including that of medical field bringing players to as healthy as possible. Even the injuries of Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway could've less impact if happen at this point in time.

NBA just got half as interesting. 

My favorite player ever. I'll never forget him spanking the Clippers a few years ago in the playoffs and putting on an absolute clinic doing what he did best for all those years

Duncan could never have a farewell tour like Kobe because he was never box office
let's be real. dude will not sell out games across 50 states because he is retiring. No one knows him.

with all due respeck tho. props tim

Really?

He was a Greatest of All Time Level player from the start.

He could have mouthed off, made statements to the press, talked shit to his opponents.

His personality kept him low key.

I'd choose to be a top 6-7 player in the history of basketball and not have a shit show fan base behind me all day.

Duncan is the reciprocal of Kobe, a superstar that cared more about his team than own selfish needs, a superstar that did not crave attention or the need for it to be his team. He didn't even go out with one or two games left for the home crowd to show him the love he deserves for all the wonderful things he has done for the Spurs. Just quietly leaves in the same classy manner that he played.

he's the big difference for nothing he deserved everything respect and love duncan is just and a good example of the player who really love and care for the game and for his team he even lessen his salary cap for them to get good additional players he's one of a kind saying farewell would be also saying thanks for everything thank you for bringing simplicity to the game making you an athlete who always been a quite star. very appreciated TIM...

I think after her retirement he would get great appreciation in nba and spurs institution for his work ethics and dedication to play and share his knowledge about basketball to his fellow comrads, and thats why spurs didnt trade and hold him for a long time because they cannot afford to lose a great hall of fame player,

Duncan is great well indeed he is the one brought up some colors in nba im pretty sure duncan would get a title as legend player.

They wont have any excuse anymore if they lose the next Finals. They surely needs to win the championship with such lineup or at least the expectation is.

If that will actually happen should they average 150 pts per game or just lose less than a handful games in the entire season. It will be exciting time for them to lose

I was prepared my self so when Tim Duncan announced retirement I was upset but get over it. I thought he could play one more year because he didn't announce retirement right after season is over. He played 19 years in same franchise, why not make it two decades? I guess his body didn't let him. Arguably the greatest power forward in NBA history, enjoy your retirement.

He was not playing great the last season so he realize that he should retire, he is too fair unlike kobe bryant that needs to play to destroy the team, I wish him good luck.

Because we cannot be great all the time, you will come that you cannot play the usual way and you will become less effective because we are aging and our physical ability is affected, he is making the right decision and he deserves to be the hall of fame.

Kobe announced his retirement in the beginning of the season and all eyes on him in every game. Duncan retired without any big announcement and that shows he's the better one both on and off the court.

This is very simple, kobe does want publicity and duncan does not need enough attention to gain popularization, pretty sure duncan is a great player and he will always be remembered.

he just wanted a quite exit but still a big impact to all of us fans of san Antonio we know how he leads this team and just being quite and not being treated as a superstar but for us he is our main man the big difference and the one and only tim who can dominate the board using his skills I really gonna miss him.

It was very sad to see Tim go out. But it is insane of that wining 0.710 out of this world. Never wasnt a attention seeker, or anything. Just wanted to come in and do his job and go home. Love everything about Timmy D. On the court and off the court. We miss you Duncan.
