Thanks For All of the Fish

Its been an amazing run. One of the greatest players in not just the history of the game. But in all of sports hung up his snickers and simply walked away from basketball this summer. When other players were about flash, dash and show boating. TD was simply focused on getting it done. Methodical in his approach to playing the game of basketball. Tim Duncan may have been as exciting as drying paint. But he had the undeniable skill level of a devout Shaolin Kun Fu Master when it came to basketball. As one of the most decorated players in NLL League history. Timmy’s impact on the game of basketball will be felt and remembered for years to come. As up and coming big men study footage of his spin moves, up and unders, baby hooks and bank shots. Overzealous announcers will be making comments like “That young fella took that move from TD’s book.” or “This young big man is awesome but he still has some ways to go before he will be as fundamentally sound as Tim Duncan was.” As a player Tim Duncan has over 19,000 points and over 10, 000 rebounds. He is hands down one of the most prolific players in the NLL’s history bar none. With a basketball IQ that is off the charts he was still able to average 14 points and 12 rebounds a game against stronger, younger and faster opponents. Defensively he was as sharp as a razor blade. For Timmy defense wasn’t just about blocks. He had a knack for altering shots and making players change their minds about what they wanted to do on the court. As the defensive anchor he kept his teammates focused and directed the traffic and flow of how his team kept opposing offenses in check. Although extremely stoic and focused on the court and during games. Tim Duncan the player was also a lovable teammate that was able to lead by example as well as cut a few practical jokes to keep things lose and build comradery. As the years after this retirement go by. Tim’s Legend will only grow larger and there is no doubt that he will be a bon-a-fide first ballot hall of famer. Who is also so attention adverse that its debatable that he will even attend his induction or have a speech that says more than just “Thank You” as he just fades back into where ever he plans to spend his retirement years. The NLL Miami Heat thank Tim Duncan for his hardwork and professionalism as well as his drive for perfection.
