TIM DUNCAN

"But to understand why San Antonio’s Tim Duncan is so good, you have to look in the other direction. It’s feet first. The footwork is the foundation of everything he does on the basketball floor. And with that foundation beneath him, Duncan, at 23 and in only his second NBA season, could very well already be the best player in the NBA.”

“His instincts are what I admire most about his game. He’s a thinker and he’s athletic. That’s what makes him so good. He’s so confident that he makes everything look easy and effortless.
-Marcus Camby-
New York Knicks


“What interesting about him is his capacity to learn and outdo his game. If you think about him now compared to college, he’s guarding people out on the floor where he never did that before; he’s facing the basket and pulling up for jumpers and driving where he really hadn’t done that before. We’ve had him guard every position on the floor. His capacity for the game is very large.” -Gregg Popovich-
San Antonio Head Coach
