Tim Duncan
February 19, 2008Some people say he’s boring being The Great Fundamental, but I love his non-flashy style on and off the court. Like Nash, he excelled in another sport before basketball — he was aiming for getting into the Olympics for swimming. (As it is, he made it to the Olympics for basketball.) He had to give up that dream though when his area lost its only olympic pool, and he was too afraid of sharks to continue training in the ocean. Haha!
He’s generous with his time, he speaks well, he dresses well, he’s got lots of charity things going for him, he married a nice woman, he looks like a cuddly teddy bear, he watches intelligent movies (Good Will Hunting), and he’s got an honors degree in psychology (like me!) which he uses on the court. Like Nash, he’s won two MVPs already.
Has Kobe won an MVP yet? I dooon’t thiiinkkk soooo…So do nice guys finish last? NO WAY. Anyway, more on Tim Duncan on another post. But no doubt about it — I <3 Tim Duncan too!
Great as Kobe Bryant is on the court, it takes a lot more to impress me.
