Price wrote a nice Duncan story called 'The Quiet Man' (should be here, although link doesn't seem to work at the moment) about Duncan when he was named Sportsman of the Year with his teammate David Robinson. Isn't that what we always said we wanted from our basketball players? Tim Duncan is a good person - the kind of person who should be celebrated as a role model. One of the best stories out there is this documentary about his relationship with Gregg Popovich. Of course, readers sent me far more than just that. I want to see him in a Wizard costume, casting spells, at every NBA event until further notice. Nerdcore (a word I am using for the first time right now.) Love it or hate it, it's the first true thing about Tim Duncan that everyone can understand in a heartbeat. Just pure (and endearing) D&D nerdcore.Īnother NERDCORE story: He wanted his nickname to be 'Merlin' when he first got to the league, but his teammates weren't having it. No barbed wire or homages to dead relatives here. Add to that, dude's got a freakin' tattoo of Merlin from Arthurian lore! His other tat is of a Skeleton Jester. I find it very interesting that Tim Duncan's off the court pursuits include sword and knife collecting, Dungeons & Dragons, fantasy videogames & paintball. Tim Duncan is the NBA's first superstar nerd. TrueHoop reader Terremoto sent me an email that makes it frightfully clear to me how Tim Duncan needs to be marketed to the world: as a wizard. The interesting stuff is in there, for sure.

(In fact, I think you could make the case that he knows exactly how to be fascinating, but is calculating and intentionally not so.) He just isn't comfortable being fascinating in a way that works for typical sports media. If you get in a certain mood, it's stunning to see.īut I realize that's not for everyone, and unless people can find something to latch onto from this man's character, the 'cardboard personality' factor could continue crippling the league for years to come.īut it's a myth that he isn't fascinating. My knee-jerk response is: watch! Watch him, specifically. This year's Finals promise to deliver low ratings.

The NBA's reality is that we are deep into the Tim Duncan era - he is the dominant player of the day - and yet whenever he is on TV almost no one wants to watch. Yesterday I asked you to send me links to the most enlightening Tim Duncan articles, interviews, and videos that you could find. Kindly Cast Your Spell On Us Now, Tim Duncan
