Tim Duncan - Not appreciated by Spurs Fans
Posted: Mon Apr 13, 2015 3:44 am
Tim Duncan.
Face of the franchise since 1997 for one of the most successful sporting franchises in the world over the past 20 years.
At almost 39 years of age he is still capable of leading his team to wins against high calibre opposition as he showed in his 29 point, 9 rebound and 3 block effort v the Rockets. The next game against the Suns he puts down 22 and 10 to again lead his team. To be able to do this at this point in career and after all he has accomplished is unheard of.
Despite all he has done and continues to do, you hear little from San Antonio fans about his exploits. On here not one "Spurs" fan has even mentioned his name. All I see are Kawhi Leonard threads amongst other rubbish. Spurs fans are not exactly a classy lot and have taken this great player - they will never have a player like this again - completely for granted. Trust me when I say if he was playing crap they would all be saying he is old and past it and shouldn't play anymore etc. Instead they say nothing.
As a Suns fan, I would have loved this guy on my team and many other teams fans would and do say the same thing. Yet for some reason, Spurs fans seem to practically ignore the guy while focusing on the next generation in Kawhi when the man himself is still here, still turning in world class performances and further cementing his status as a top 10 player of all time.
Quite poor form from the Spurs fans if you ask me.
