Typical ESPN fashion, they tried to get him to talk about how he felt about being under-appreciated and he would have none of it.

I love how he handles the media.

That's awesome! Just wish Duncan could go in separately from Kobe since the whole ceremony will get overshadowed because of the tragedy and rightfully so.

Great speech! Timmy and David Robinson are 2 of the greatest human beings ever. Not just basketball players...

So it's my final night in San Antonio and I'm totally gutted about having to leave and can't sleep. So many wonderful impressions. The sun even penetrated my pale skin - think Jakob before he fell asleep outside or Pop's vaccinated shoulder (usually tans don't last, but this one is!)

There were so many wonderful moments honouring Timmy as well. I'll try to post the most pertinent ones:

Pre-ceremony interview. You can tell Timmy's a bit nervous:

And he said he was even more so in doing the speech, but as Gump said, Timmy gave an incredible one!
